Russian Jaegers (and Other Green Things)

While waiting for the next group of Quar to be assembled, primed and undercoated, I pushed on with some Russian Jaegers that had been waiting patiently for ... well a long time. I started trying to use contrast paints and didn't like it and got frustrated, so they were put aside.


I think these are Warlord, I'm not sure to be honest. I got them second hand already assembled without any command group. Turning them into Jaegers seemed appropriate since Jaegers shouldn't be carrying flags in the field, and the Russians fielded entire divisions of Jaegers.


This brings my Russian army up to 7 battalions for General d'Armee; 2 Jaeger, 3 Grenadier, and 2 Musketeer. All based on 4 figure stands so I can make 8 figure groups for Sharp Practice


While slapping around green paint I did some markers for the mines, traps and IEDs that Gloam-Hyyn trappers are allowed to deploy. I just used spare artillery shells, packs, tank stowage boxes and things that looked vaguely like mines glued to mdf disks.


I'll put numbers on the bottoms and the player can secretly designate which is an anti-tractor mine, booby-trap, or dummy.



I also got these lovely resin Supply objective markers/Jump Off Points from Ironclad Miniatures by way of apology for getting my order out late. A neutral green-grey and khaki drab paint scheme will make them nice things for Quar Trench Raiders to try and blow up.
