Et Voila! Mon Armee de'Mars!

Mesdames et Messieurs, en presentat ma premier Armee de Mars!

Tirailleurs Martiens;

La Legion Etrangere:



Ready for an expeditionary operation in the Ideaus Fons basin where the Nomadic Hill tribes have been ambushing caravans from the northern valley viticulture district.

Very happy with these- finishing off four units in 4 weeks in some kind of record for me. After about of decade of mulling and planning, it's great to be off and running. I do work well to a deadline it seems!

Modelling notes re basing: Wood filler basecoated in GW Doombull Brown, heavy drybrush GW Jokaero Orange, final drybrush GW Lugganath Orange

Snappy looking troops, even the colonials. I'm sure they'll have no trouble sending those damned savages scuttling back to the holes they came from!

Sharp looking brush work, I really like the colour balance on them with a bit of blue to contrast vs the drab colours.

Nice brush work and very suitable basing, excellent looking Force...mind you not sure why you’re wasting your Bally time on these foreign fellows when half the number of stiff upper lip redcoat types could service your needs...hahahahahahahaha

Thanks everyone!

Dave - yes, that took some thinking about. I didn't expect the yellow jackets to blend as much into the orange table but c'est le vie!

Captain darling - merci beaucoup mon ami! French were the priority to face off against my mate, but all in good time...
