Modern Sahel Conflicts - ERC-90 Sagaine 13Jun23

[joekano]

So one of my gaming buddies asked me to give 28mm moderns a go, and after lurking around this board, I decided to jump in.  Upon seeing tancrede's French force, I decided the Sahel conflicts is what I wanted to game, particularly Mali in the 2010's.  While I have a French force forthcoming, I've started with a band of Islamic and Tuareg insurgents:


I still have some more to paint, but am relatively happy with my start (still getting used to painting camouflage) There are more photos  on the blog if you're interested:

NIce work Chris, though I hate to see you shift your focus from BOB.

Thanks! I’m about out of paper textures for the BOB buildings, but once I can access agin to the large size laser printer, I should be back in business

They look great, really nice mix of camo patterns and colours.

As Ash said, a good variety of paint schemes - nice work

Lovely collection and painting, plenty of potential opposition for them as well.

Very nice start !
Camo and colorful minis, exactly what I like.
I will keep an eye on this thread, sir.

I've finished the last of my insurgents (at least for now) and some journalists to use as objective markers.



More pictures are on the blog, including some size comparisons across the various ranges I used.

Took my first crack at the French Foreign Legion troops. Still more to go, but happy with the start:
