Hoy tenemos un batallón de jaegers austríacos, con su apariencia típica en 1866. Sin duda las mejores unidades de infantería del ejército austríaco. He intentado sacar el máximo partido a los 2 tonos de grises del uniforme, oscuro el abrigo y claro el pantalón. Llaman también la atención las brillantes plumas negras de gallo. 

Here we have a batalion of austrian jaegers, in their most typical dressing during the 1866 campaign. The best infantry units in the Austrian army, no doubt about it. I´ve tried to get the most out of their sombre uniforms: Dark grey greatcoats and lighter grey trousers. The shiny black plumes give them a lot of character.

Como suelo hacer con las tropas ligeras, he colocado 3 miniaturas por peana para que puedan "respirar". Como referencia básica he usado el reglamento "1866", pero también planeo probar una adaptación del Regimental Fire & Fury.
As I use to do with light infantry, I´ve put 3 minis per base instead of the usual 4. As a basic reference for building an army, I am using the ruleset "1866". I plan to play with it and also with an adaptation of Regimental Fire & Fury.

  3. Thanks!
    It´s the 1866 range from North Star. They are in the proccess of selling the range to another yet unpublished manufacturer, as a result only a part of the range is available now. I hope the situation is clarified soon. It is a very ambitious range (great variety of poses, great sculpting).
