EricMc- Back From the Brink---The last of the French (130 points)

I am sorry I dropped the ball last with the last post. I had a mishap with Fallout 4.  After a family intervention, I am 4 days clean and back to my normal obsessions.
After kicking the Fallout habit,  I am finishing the last of the living french.   I have a few casualty figures left to paint but after that I am on to the Senegalese .







This week I finished off 2 more units of Chasseur for the Bois des Caures game which is coming soon (April I think)






In addition to the Chasseur I finished off 2-37mm trench guns and crew.




Unfortunately, my production is going to start slowing down.  My son convinced me that we need to run a game together at Cold Wars. I cant say no to that invitation.  So in addition to painting we well be building terrain boards for skirmish game set between the trenches at Verdun.  My hope it this will hook him, like his introduction to Fallout hooked me!

26-28mm Figures 

You really do have these nailed Eric.. They look a fearsome bunch alright...Now just remember step away from the digital hobbies! Lets hope gaming with these really hook in your son to the joys of Analogue..

    These French have been one of the weekly highlights. They look a fantastic force. Can we have a group shot of them all please

    These guys look awsome. I add my voice to the call for a group shot.

    Your story is exactly why I don't buy fallout for myself! These French are great, the blue is really refreshing given how much khaki gets used in world wars painting.

    More wonderful Poilu, fantastic! I love the trench guns.

    This is why my copies of Fallout and Rainbow Six are still encased in there wrappers. They will come off on March 21st...

    I look forward to seeing your upcoming Senegalese! Now, stay clean...

    I really cannot wait to see the entire force in a single shot cause this will be one heck of an army to see painted up there! Great work as always!
