I agree they turned out rather well. Were the castings that bad in the metal ?

Can't blame you for switching to Mike Owen's Artizan figures though : very nice figures that seem to paint themselves.

Like the figures, fine painting.
We don't see to many French Legionaries on these pages.

Hi, well... I painted the same miniatures and I must say you painted them very good.
I dont think they are bad at all, once they are painted  :)
Hey Dr Viking we can play Legionnaries together when we meet next time and intensify our friendship  :)

Brilliant painting, Dr Viking. The miniatures look quite decent for OG, but it seems that's a result of your paint-job.

That sounds like a euphemism!  ;D

Well thank you lot!

I must say though that I painted them very quickly and only with a minimum of detail. I didn't even paint eyes on them.

Clothing for example is just blue with black wash and a 'dust' weathering. So maybe the image is helping the look a little.  ;D

Hi, well... I painted the same miniatures and I must say you painted them very good.

No you're right - it's the kind of figures that will look OK when you amass them. I'm just so used to small skirmishes (I think) that I tend to be very critical of the sculpts.

I would love to play some scenarios with the Legion. Maybe you could even introduce me to that Trumpet & Tragedies game of yours???  :D

Actually I like Old Glory pirates and own a lot of them. A bit crude but very nice ideas there.
