Is this an excuse to use the Legion against my Mahdists?
The laws of probability do not apply to my dice in wargames or to my finesses in bridge.

In fact they were the Tirailleurs Sénégalais that succesfully faced the Mahdist at Fachoda..

I thought they faced the British and Egyptians there over the scattered corpses of the Madhists?

I had had a couple of French officers and Senegalese Tirailleurs sculpted a while back but then got sidetracked working on my Russian Conquest of Central Asia project. I did get a few painted.

I decided to add to my Senegalese by using Algerian Tirailleurs (done by Masimo Costa of Black Watch Miniatures) that were made for the Franco-Prussian War.  I had them painted as Senegalese by just getting the tunic plain blue and having the faces painted darker. The only thing that I don't like is they are not barefooted. I hope to get more sculpted after a few more Russians. Here's some pics.

I decided to give up on this project so I could focus on my Russian Central Asian project. I'll probably regret it later. :'(
