28mm Austrian Jäger

I started this little group of 9 figures on 5th April, which turns out lucky, as the three table battle that I am working through at the moment, has Austrian Jägers appearing on one of the flank battles. So I have put a bit of a wiggle on to get these over the finishing line and ready for action.

My normal napoleonic 80mm bases have two ranks of 5 figures giving 10 fairly closely packed men, so just putting three to a base here, compared to the rest of the force really opens up the base to give a good open order look.

They can do double service when not acting as companies of jäger, deployed as line skirmishers thrown out by the battalions.

They are all plastics, mainly Victrix (I think).

One final job is to give a light spraying of matt varnish, but I will wait for the weather to warm up a little more before trusting the rattle can.

I am trying to keep the French and Austrian armies fairly evenly matched in unit types as they added to, so the vacant positions on the painting corks will now be taken by 9 French Voltigeurs. 

These are metals (Eagle Figures) that were rattle can primed white last year as part of the autumn prepping for the winter painting.
