Giant Commission -- Austrian Jager

My wife had the day off work today, so while she watched the kids, I strapped myself to my painting desk and cranked out these 24 Jager.  It helped that the Jager uniform is pretty simple, and I had done much of the block painting along with the Grenz.





This completes the Austrian infantry.  Tonight I will start prepping the cavalry and guns.

  1. I really like the Corsican hats. Even though these were (according to Knoetel) not standard until 1814, they look perfect for light infantry.

    1. Yes, they do look nice. What did they wear before 1814?

    2. Grey uniforms with the Austrian helmet.

    3. Well, that is interesting. I guess I have been doing my 1809 jager all wrong. Now I have a good excuse to paint more figures!

  3. They may be simple uniforms, but they look stunning - who'd think the grey looks so smart with the green epaulettes and fancy headgear.

    1. It is a good combination, isn't it? I wonder how the early Austrian light infantry would look with their grey uniforms and particolored facings.

    1. Thanks, Christopher! I think the Austerlitz scenarios for General de Brigade are calling me.
