Title: Chasseur Ardennais
Post by: bluewillow on 02 July 2025, 08:46:52 AM

Completed another battalion of Chasseur Ardennais, a mix of FAA, Battlefield/Blitz and Early war Miniatures.

I am still seeking 20mm FAA, or battlefield blitz figures for chasseur or Belgian infantry if anybody has some send me a PM.

Yes the old battlefield range are a little basic, I like the FAA the best EWM although newer are larger

Funny you should so that, I don't think they're any worse than the Warlord plastics you get in 28mm.

 I don't know I feel that the Warlord Plastic range has improved greatly over the last few years. I just picked up the US Airborne set and it's far superior to their earlier one.

I think Battlefeild/blitz range was sculpted in the 90s, I have a lot of thier  models, Germans, French, Americans and Russians. Some were great sculpts others not so good.
