(Army Painters) French Foreign Legion 1910-50; reboot 2014

[General Lee]

I've got six chasseurs surplus  to let   and if You shorten the rifles you can use them up to WW2 (I have actuallythought about that)

as You can see from the command figures, they are absolutely compatible with Artizan, although stylistically quite different.

please share Your thoughts and experiences about meharistes and camels in miniature

you might have mentioned it somewhere but I was wondering which shade of dipped you used. I think they look very nice. I Personally would have used a darker dip

I am not sure what You mean with dipped

I used a lot of different glazes and washes from different manufacturers, all applied with a brush.
You are right, I have a bit of a problem with too strong contrasts, usually I adjust the washes with drybrushing the original colour on top - but I do not use washes on every colour as a rule

in total there were 5 different shades of brown, 2 shades of flesh and also red and 2 blue glazes
all according to the primary colour, with very little mixing because this would get a nightmare when correcting

Excellent work on your unit. Of course with such an inspirational poster how could you fail?

in fact, I only wanted to inspire @Michi to join the french colonial fraction

so, got a bit quiet around the army painters, but the month is running out, so  
btw, stay away from french style kepis if you want to stay sane...


anyway, can anyone tell me something about this picture?
I can't remember where I got it from
point is, the infantry looks french, but then what with the uhlan??
unless they are belgians.....

and another update and question
first - this one was reassigned to a unit at least 10 years later, the uniform looked wrong, though it is not...


to be replaced with this one



and finally, the two COs, the one above and the one below, have some straps around the ankles that look like spur attachments, or ist it something else? what could it be - can anyone tell?

[former user]

only thing left is basing, and tomorrow after work the pictures...

[Mason]

Looking forward to it.

I am very curious how they look together on photos - I can see only one at a time through the magnifying glass....
close-up of course 

[former user]

phew...
here are the first rough crop, no optimizing of the pictures, more later

[Mason]

Oooh!
They look rather lovely.
 


Nicely staged picture too.
I like it.

must be the Corto Maltese films I saw recently that influenced the heavy tonality  
or I should take care more about the lighting 

unbelievable - I just based the next unit - I must be insane

late interwar infantry unit, with Châtellerault lMG

but I am beginning to run out of miniatures....

an interwar officer, possibly Dimitri Amilakhvari


and an early war artillery officer
