Week 15 of Backlog. Two units of Russian Mounted Jagers from Perry. Eight regiments of these were converted from Dragoons in December 1812 to provide more light cavalry.
Here is the Dorpat regiment with crimson/pink facings. For this I used Vallejo Game Colour Warlord Purple.
And with the orange facings, this is Sieversk Regiment. For the orange I used Vallejo Game Colour Dwarf Skin, which seemed a good match for the slightly pinky orange colour shown in the Perry guide.
A great kit from Perry, that lets you make Russian Dragoons or Mounted Jager, or Prussian Dragoons, and with kitbashes from other kits a whole range of other units. Plus you get enough bodies to make an entire extra unit if you purchase some extra horses from Perry.
Great work on a great kit. Plenty of green coat goodness for your table.
ReplyDeleteThanks yes a lot of green coming :)
DeleteSuperb work, Mark!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan!
DeleteThey are cracking, lovely work on them and great choice of units, the facing colours are super.
ReplyDeleteCheers Donnie, yes the Russian cav has some nice facing options.
DeleteBeautiful work Mark, and orange- and pink-faced regiments are great choices alongside the Jager green.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence!
DeleteMarvelous work on your Russian Mounted Jägers Mark! I use to have these units as 15mm back "good old bad days" during late 1980s using the "Empire" Napoleonic rules set
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil! :) Empire siis not a set I've played, I must get a copy sometime.
DeleteExcellent looking Russian cavalry! I've just got a couple of these boxes to supply cavalry to my Prussians. The pink and orange facings work really well with the green, lovely work as always!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, good luck with your ones!
DeleteThese look wonderful Mark, especially with their impressive plumes.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how alike your favourite chasseurs they are isn't it? Like them, there were only a few hundred per regiment, by the time of the Battle of Leipzig!
Best wishes, James
Thanks and ha yes that is true :) Perhaps why I chose to paint them first!
