French Intervention Force , first painted unit .


I've got the first unit of French Chasseur a Pied painted up and varnished , here seen practising their skirmish tactics .


The two officers overseeing the training are Irregular from their Deutsche Homage range . The Chasseur figure are 'large' 40mm, a bit bigger than the normal Irregular ones but the difference won't be noticed on the tabletop I think .


Another view of them in action , ready for an expedition to the worsening crisis in the Balkans between The Sublime Porte and Fetaland .

    1. Once I started painting them I was surprised how much detail there was on them .

  2. I do like painting 40mm figures - much easier on the eyes .

  4. Splendid looking chaps! Just goes to show what a difference a smart coat of paint and a spot of varnish can do for tired old figures. Lovely stuff.

  5. I do like the two Deutsche Homage officers- something about them- a certain Toy-like charm...nice painting Tony.

    1. Yes they are nice - but a bit expensive , hence I only tend to use them as officers .
