Title: French Renault FT 17 and french infantry
Post by: GeKi on April 08, 2016, 12:36:51 PM

Hello,

in the next weeks I hopefully get my order from scarab miniatures to start with a french army.
We will playing using the Warhammer Historical ruleset.

To start of here is the FT 17 I just finished. I love this cute little tank, and it is one of the reasons I play the french army.

Here are some pictures of my first squad.
I´m quiet happy how the quickshade came out in the end.

Your quickshade was very effective indeed...the figures look great alongside the tank...look forward to seeing more

Due to some matt varnish shortages on the painting front
I finished of the 3rd squad with some delay.
