The Køngens Livjaegerkorps

Just to prove I am getting back into actually painting some miniatures, no matter how obscure they might be.




Køngens Livjægerkorps (The King's Life Jäger Corps) was an elite unit formed as a result of the British bombardment of Copenhagen in 1807, when Denmark allied with Napoleon. They were a volunteer, bourgeois force, similar in spirit to other Jäger units across German-speaking states.

These are Steve Barber Miniatures designed specifically as the korps with their distinctive czapzka-like shako.

  2. Hard to go wrong with jaegers or chasseurs from any conflict of the broader Horse and Musket-era. They offer so much scope for unique modelling and vignettes like these.

    Kind Advent Regards,

  4. Excellent, I too love the obscure units they may not get onto the table very much but, fun to research and paint.
