Title: Legion d'Antibes
Post by: streetgang on 28 July 2012, 02:42:38 PM
Here are some pics of the Legion d'Antibes, which form part of my Pontifical Army for the Risorgimento. The Legion was formed from French Imperial recruits in the service of the Pope and were part of the battle of Mentana (1867).

Those are really nice!
Please forgive my ignorance, but from which range are these minis?

With the exception of the officer (FPW), they are all from the War of the Pacific range. From my resources, the Legion d'Antibes wore older French uniforms and wore havelocks in the field. The Pontifical army is a colorful one, looking forward to the Swiss Carabineers (Esteri Carabaineri).

I like it, but I really don't know about the base sides in black. Maybe a brown would fit more ?

Nicely done Sir, Great brush work and some really nice base work to set them off.

The black base edges make a unit stand out from the terrain, I know people have their own thoughts on edge colours but I do like the black my self.

Keep up the good work

Andy

I really like those although personally I'm not overly keen on the height of the bases. The black lining is fine for the same reasons as andymac wrote above.

and indeed , I thank you because they give me an idea about the suitability of War of the Pacific figures for representing 1897 Greeks.
