Painting Pedestal: Austrians 1859 Pt2

Next up are my first attempt to deal with riflemen or sharpshooters in the Austrian Empire armies. Better known as Jagers or Feld Jagers or the ultimate Kaiser Jagers.

Waterloo1815 did not do this figure type so I found the nearest thing which was the Hat Napoleonic Austrian Landwehr.

This quite unexpected trip into post Napoleonic periods has meant I am quite prepared to compromise and these chaps work at 3 feet distance with shrubberies! I am definitely warming to the Piquet 4 base battalions which also do nicely for Neil Thomas rulesets as well. And the 3 figures per base feels ok in this mid 19th century era.

I have included a mounted officer from the Line Battalions which are still on the paint table.
