Here is the second Jäger squad I have done from Black Tree Designs:
Most young boys (and some adventurous girls) play with Toy Soldiers; some never stop! I'm proud to say that I am one that never has stopped. Toy Soldiers, painting the figures, history and miniature wargaming is what this site is all about. May the God who gives encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I decided to paint something a little different for German mid to late war infantry and decided on painting some Jägers. The figures are from Black Tree Design.
Here is the Waffenfarbe (Troop function colors) for the Jägers:

2018 First Quarter Update
Gentlemen and Ladies,
Here is the update on the 2018 Plan:
1. Two units of Scottish infantry for the English Civil War. They will portray both Covenanters and Royalists for Montrose's army. Slowly but surely the first Scottish unit is taking shape between commissions. I have started one pike block and based on my painting schedule I should finish it by the end of April.
2. Two units of Scottish cavalry that will both Covenanters and Royalists. When the infantry is done.
3. One Scottish artillery gun. Sometime this year!
4. French Foreign Legion company for In Her Majesty's Name. Done. Huzzah!!!
5. Sky Pirates company for In Her Majesty's Name. The figures have been ordered and here are some works in progress.
6. Bonus! I re-purposed several of my favorite existing figures into two new adventuring companies of IHMN.
As always I continue to paint figures for commission and to post on eBay.

He Has Risen!
John 11:24-26 New International Version (NIV)
24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
