This pack depicts Legionnaires on sentry duty- ideal for guarding Fort Zinderneuf or for patrols of the nearby watering hole.

thanks for your kind answer Mr Unfeasibly...it's a good idea to produce them in november..this plate is nice but it doesn'nt show all the characteristic details like the bayonet scabbard on the chest (you produced some very nice spare quipment in your range)..and the various pouches..reference picts from the moovie Fort Saganne are very useful..also the dismonted versions..possibly in firing/kneeling positions defending vs Tuaregs attacks are a must..as they fought principally on foot...

You'll score a goal by producing those minis..it's fun that always wargamers, modellers, comics creators ecc...field tuaregs Vs Légionaires..and not Vs those Sahariens..historically it would be to pretend to field zulus vs swedish...
thanks again..and..at your disposal for infos like those ones:

Wow!
This is something for me ;D
-
And I see the Beau Hunks have enlisted, too... :D

the design is very nice...firing figures are the best and could be complete with a kneeling ones ...as the firefight with Tuaregs where short/medium distances affairs hiding behind dunes...
what is the protuberance that could be seen over the heads?...if part of the turban cloth it's ok...and it is appreciable that the heads depicts Chambaas (usulally less veiled than tuaregs) with visible faces and moustaches..but if that protuberance is the depiction of a partially covered red fez..as in the illustration posted..it's wrong...the re fez belonged to the very first experimental (ending in failure) Tirailleurs Méharistes and certainly not on campaign...the real appearance of méharistes was without this fez and with a less tall turban effect
i'm really waiting them to be available for my skirmish Vs Tuaregs
