    1. Very cool outfits. I think these would easily pass as armed Leprechauns as well, if I ever want to use them in a medieval-fantasy game :)

    2. Armed Leprechauns? Quite right!

  2. I must confess to prefering these guys in their more colorful and unique uniforms to their dour 1810+ cousins. I too have the 5th Jagers in my army - hard to resist the light blue facings!

  3. Nice looking Jaegers and every time you show one of your completed units I want to rebase my army and organise it like yours.
