Modern Sahel Conflicts - ERC-90 Sagaine 13Jun23
« on: 01 August 2021, 03:24:29 AM »
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:

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

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