Title: GWM french "chasseurs à pieds" for Crimea and algeria 1845-55
Post by: pacofeanor on 09 December 2013, 08:09:32 PM

I've just painted some chasseurs à pieds from Great War Miniatures. I will use them both for Crimea and Algeria. I plan to play the fighting of siddi Brahim where un complete batalion was anhilated by  Abdelkader horse men !

Very nice: I really appreciate as I am a former Chasseur myself =)
 I do like the colours: first time I see someone making the difference between the dark blue of the coat and the gris de fer bleuté of the trousers
