Well, that's it then, resolve diminished to the point where I can no longer resist!! I just hope that I can find time to paint them and get them on the table top!
Superb sculpts by Michael- they just look so dynamic and natural :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

i'm Happy, we will have some european NCO's with the senegaleses ... ;)
ordered 2 combat groups ... waiting for command and support ;D
next steps , a 37mm M1916 gun with senegalese crew; a french head pack ( with a mix of kepi, adrian, motorized, sidecap colonial ) ?
and a Free French High command , with a medic, a radio etc ...
as Michael said this range will have more references than customers lol
-
My happiness besides the French is the German para nco wearing a side cap. Oh, and the IF8 trailer.
-
These are just too good :-*
-
Lovely :-*
-
Superbe !
I'm very impatient to see the vichy troop
-
More fantastic looking sculpts!
Now I don't want to be an arse about this, let me first make clear that I personally consider the Perry brothers output to some of the most realistic (the ww2 figs are posed like they are fighting a war rather than standing around at full height waiting to be shot) and nicest looking stuff available.
BUT as others have similarly commented, maybe their WW2 output could benefit from slowing down a little as some of the latests casts are a bit rough and ready, its not flash, it is lack of finishing I feel, rough areas of greenstuff have not been smoothed, which is okay on clothing, but on faces, for example, not so great to fix... In all honesty, i'd rather they paid more attention to this, slowed down a bit, and maybe charged a little more for their products.
also, why aren't some of the Fallshirmjager wearing tropical trousers and shirts?
-
Great looking figures, trying hard to resist, but don't think I can ;D
-
The only thing I'm unclear on is whether the Tirailleurs Senegalaise went into action wearing the M1926 Adrian helmet rather than the chechia.... frankly, these are looking downright brilliant, and the inclusion of the VB rifle grenade, the Hotchkiss M1914, the FM24./27 with the loader being armed only with a lousy little pistol, AND an 81mm mortier have made my whole day! :D
If only they'd release a set of Senegalese heads wearing the Adrian M1926 helmet for those of us who want to convert our 1940 poilus to Tirailleurs fighting during the May-June campaign.... 8)

BlackWidowPilot :
the adrian helmet was not used by the senegalese tirailleurs in africa .
the chechia was worn as campaign dress , but a light khaki one , not the red one .
And the colonial uniform was not issued to the senegaleses regiments in France ...

Et si le tirailleur en a un deuxième, ça lui fera une belle paire de fez... ;D
Non-French speakers need not even bother, I'll get me coat and see myself out.

Lou,
you misunderstood me; I am more than aware that the Senegalese deployed to the campaign in Europe were issued the standard attire (with appropriate colonial forces insignia), not the tropical (light khaki) dress. What I am after are Senegalese heads in the Adrian helmet to use to convert figures such as Crusader's 28mm 1940 Campaign French infantry to Senegalese in service in the same period:

i'm not sure that perry heads fit well on crusader ...
crusader heads doesn't fit well on perry minis ... i've tried ;)

I concur, they are two different sizes when compared to their respective bodies. Perry have much more realistic proportions thus their heads are smaller.

blimey! John Merrick springs to mind!!

it will make sense for warlord to produce some spare heads ( adrian helmet, fez, etc ) ... they will be usefull for early war and late war, imo ...

The start of the French metropolitan troops for the army of the Levant :

Here's hoping Michael will produce variants of these in sun helmets.
The LRDG are also about to be reinforced :
