Finishing off the French starter set https://www.pendraken.co.uk/nbkc-fr-nfrench-starter-army-4278-p.asp
Just need a company commander stand now (and many other things).

Infantry


Get them lads!






Anti-tank guns, mortars and machineguns




Added suport is always good!


Badly sited mortars?


Truck and Panhard armoured car




Which way are we going?


Doesn't matter, the armoured car has a reverse driver!

Liking the infantry, especially the basing.  The mortar crews are brave (of deaf) being in front of the tubes!

Certainly not the drillbook position. Also having 2 ATG as close as those 25s would be frowned on. Excellent painting.

Knew there was a stand of French infantry missing, so here it is based up.

French command stand, with attached anti-tank rifle, as no one else needs them!


Bone jaw, my nome is...


'Allo! 'Allo!


The red top on their kepis is there, honest!


Two higher officers, an RTO, a staff car and an anti-tank rifle




The whole French force*.



*WHo am I kidding? Yes, it will inevitably grow.

Well done. Those bases look great as well.
