Légion étrangère.
« on: June 10, 2015, 09:30:15 PM »
It seems I've contracted legionnaires...  ;)



As normal, while painting other things, I thought 'oh, look there's a primed figure just sat there that obviously needs painting straight away'...  ::)

I've got a few of these stashed away whilst waiting for Mike to sculpt some Tuaregs. But think I might just use them against his WW1 era Arabs instead.

There is a moustache that is not to be messed with.

lol Good one! As is the paintjob.

I wholeheartedly commend the idea of pitting the FFL against WW1 Arabs. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Nice painting. I assume he is an Artizan figure.  In that case their Morroccan and Tuareg figures fit together very nicely.  Their WW1 arabs will also do the job. You can see my attempts on this thread on pages 1 (Morrocans) and 4 (WW1 Arabs).

The Unfeasibly Miniatures on the other hand (beautiful as they may be) are slightly smaller scuplts.
