1914 French in VSF ?

[Calimero]

They look good, Skrapwelder

So far I’ve only painted a few of my WWI French. I think that I will keep them as close as possible to their historical counterparts and I will not add anything on them so they could serve for both Historical and VSF games… I think that I will rely more on character figures to give my army the suitable VSF look when needs be

That's sort of what I'm doing with my prussians.
Not that I'll ever game franco-prussian really.

This is the picture of my WWI French I entered in round 7 of the current LPL. I think they fit the "VSF period" quite well as they are…



If someone’s interested in buying French Dragoons for their VSF army, don’t do the same mistake that I did. I assembled the whole figures before painting them and I ended up having problem to reach certain places. The Horse and the rider are a single piece but the right arm, the carbine and the sword scabbard are separate pieces.

I was thinking of buying GW plastic Kroot and Lizarmen (the smaller one) as "aliens" (would they be Martians or Venusians, I don’t know yet).

the GW Saurian heads fit very well to the Kroot, and then You get rid of the typical look and create something different - I did this and used a variety of weapons
I even fitted Skink heads on Tau bodies and added a tail

Interesting...

Do the kroot heads fit on the lizzie bodies?

Sacredieu! Who makes those lovely figures (both infantry and cavalry)?

[rob_the_robgoblin]

I think they are Renegade miniatures... 

[Calimero]

Actually they are both (Infantry and Dragoon) from Great War Miniatures available in UK thru North Star or Maelstrom Games.

[rob_the_robgoblin]

My apologies.

But remember, Renegade, 50p per miniature. You can't beat it...

However, I do like those great war cavalry...

basically, they fit on the Saurian bodies (since it works the other way round).
Saurian heads are actually a bit larger (than Kroot heads) with the neck guards, but I even converted some skinks with saurus heads.
However, only the skink heads are small enough for the Tau bodies.

I didn't try, but I would guess the Kroot heads might even work for Skinks.
Need some Kroot heads? I have plenty

if it works out You could "repay" me with skink heads 

[rob_the_robgoblin]

I don't think I have any!!!

I'm planning on getting some Kroot for some Green Martian conversions, which will make me end up with lots of legs and heads...

Rob,

You can pick up Kroot torsos on Ebay. That's what I did to keep from wasting all those legs.

[rob_the_robgoblin]

eBay isn't so hot on that in the UK. You'll end up spending £1 per part and may as well just buy the bronze age ones, or even ship them from Parroom in the US!!! 

Though the bronze age ones are quite purdy... 

[former user]

what bronze age Kroot? are You talking about?

[rob_the_robgoblin]

Bronze Age Green martians, sorry!
