Absolutely more like a Cobra, with a HAC, LATM (LA:2) and a LFM, there’s a lot going for a humble Jäger.

To start, we’re going to use the Longbow Jäger, which gives us the correct chassis and head to work with. The equipment of the Blitz variant differs a bit though.

You’re also going to need a Heavy Autocannon, Light Field Mortar, and LATM (LA:2). The first two you might have around if you’ve assembled any Bushmaster cobras, while the LATM (LA:2) often comes in other packs. All of these parts are available on the plastic sprues too, so check your bits boxes!

This was a combat group I pained for the Golden Gear 2021 competition. I wanted to really capture some of the spirit of the artwork in the Forged In Fire Southern Field Guide, a band of ill-equipped MILICIA conscripts fighting in a totally inhospitable and miserable environment.

I took inspiration for my camouflage scheme from another old Blitz source, which showed a red stripes over green pattern for swamp camouflage. To break up the design, I incorporated blocks of olive, black, and khaki, leaving the green camouflaged armor for the sturdiest bits. When painting the infantry, I went with a green-brown color for the coats, but died them into the rest of the army by painting their helmet with a similar green and red pattern. I’ve found that when you’re painting camouflage schemes, it’s important to break up the areas of the model, otherwise the camouflage does it’s job and it all blends together! While that’s more realistic, it’s a bit less appealing on a mini.

Now that we’ve seen the rules, let’s get to making our own Para Jäger Longbows to use in our armies.

So first up, if you are working from scratch, the DP9 store already has you sorted! The individual Para Jäger comes with the Longbow parts ready to go. If you don’t have single pack (maybe you got the two-pack or the paratrooper box), it’s pretty easy to put together from bits from the shop or out of your bits box.

Individual GREL Infantry, new resin arms for the Animus Golem, and new custom parts available!

We took time this weekend to make the new GREL Infantry from the GREL 2 Squads & 5 Teams Pack available as individual infantry with a hex base for sale in the C.E.F. and NuCoal Infantry sections of the DP9 Online Store. Checkout the group image below with all 9 individual GREL Infantry available now. These infantry a bit bigger than our normal 12mm tall infantry as Mordred GRELs are 8 feet tall, so the minis are 16mm tall to be in scale. Jan and Morgana GREL infantry are a bit shorter at 14mm and 13mm tall and models in kneeling poses like the Morgana Sniper are just 11mm tall.
