French Expedition to Venus - NEW LEGIONAIRES ADDED + ARMY PHOTO
« on: December 20, 2008, 05:42:39 PM »
The first troops from my French expeditionary force on Venus:


Legion Extraterrestriale - men of a rifle section. All figures are from Warrior Miniatures. The man on the right has a leviathan gun - a single-shot weapon capable of stopping dinosaurs or ironclads. The sergeant is a conversion (flag finial from Bicorne Miniatures).


Officers of the Legion - the man on the left is a converted Foundry Darkest Africa figure, the other is from Warrior Miniatures.


Fusiliers Aerospatiale - converted Boxer Rebellion French sailiors from Redoubt. All have had their rifles reworked to match those of the Legion. Most have also been given goggles.


Venusian Parrottmen - this jezail-armed group are from a clan in French service.

Nice one, those Warrior miniatures look a lot better than they do on their website - scrubbed up a treat!  :)

Cool paintjob and excellent conversions! I like the use of those Warrior miniatures, but I am still wondering what kind of weapon the French officer is using. What might have been the intention of the sculptor? Kinda "boomstick" to put the fear of God into those Venusians?  lol
 

I have to order some of their England Invaded stuff as well next year...
