They look really good, I also like the mud :)

The MG bases are difficult to blend into the basing but a bit more basing material would probably help. Better blending of those bases and a few other figures would really improve the overall look :-\

What rules are they based for?

More good stuff.

I'm interested in the colour of the 75s, I've only researched early war French so far, and their guns were a darker blue/grey, I've not seen this very light shade.

Gorgeous! At least the French uniform allows the models to stand out from their bases, something that is difficult to achieve with the drab (but probably more sensible) Brits and Germans.

I'd recommend the Histoire & Collections series on French artillery for more colour illustrations.
