French Terrorists!

[Dr. The Viking]

I painted up these fine miniatures by Pardulon for our SWAT game. During the process I discovered that my paintjobs were making them look unintentionally comical so I decided that they had to be French terrorists.

C'est la vie!

Liberte d'Qubec? I've probably spelled that wrong, but a Die Hard reference can never go astray.

i cant make up my mind if the one in the green trousers looks French, or a bit Hitler like! Maybe he's Neo Vichy French.

I actually did "the bard" on all the models in the first go... but regretted after a while.

Haha! That made me chuckle!

Luckily these are the modern day silly French terrorists inspired by Hollywood. And they are a joke.
You do not have to fear them. Half the time they will get lost finding their way to the baguetterie. 

And thank you, I am both young and virile and Denmark is peaceful as ever. (apparently we only wage war abroad)

   no belittlement intended, but the thought of "french terrorists" is somehow funny...

I know, Resistance and other historical examples, so maybe it is only me 

As Sir Peter Ustinoy once said:  "Terrorism is the poor man's war, and War is the rich man's terrorism"

Anyway, I like Your miniatures
