1917 French High Command, as you can see, the officer's uniforms are certainly a lot cleaner than their men

French are looking good. Who makes those figures? I’m interested to see what the Victrix plastic set looks like before committing to any particular range, but I do like the look of these.

Very nice painting. Scarab Miniatures French are very characterful.

Aren’t Wargames Atlantic bringing out a WW1 French plastic set or are Victrix as well? The Gripping Beast French are my favourite range if I was going to do WW1 French.

No, you are right, I meant to say Wargames Atlantic not Victrix (I'm painting something else by them at the moment and had them top of mind for some reason).

I'll have a look at the Scarab and Gripping Beast French.

I am in the process of painting french for the oriental front at woodbine design (at gripping best). they are great to paint.

besides if some want to sell woodbines I would take it.

Wonderful additions to your figures.
May I ask what model artillery gun the French are firing?
Also love the look of the infantry, all the dirt on their uniforms.
Then you see the High Command, oh! the military life.

It was a spare gun I found in a box, I think it's from the BoB range

For really big World War One games, you can't go far wrong than Old Glory's Trench Wars.
