28mm JJG Print 3D Ultramodern French Foreign Legion

 All,

So here's my 'other' force for Ultramodern fighting.  It's no secret that I'm a crush for the French Foreign Legion, so I just had to get some.  Whether it's some real-life stuff in Afghanistan or Mali, or back to Perplakistan, I wanted to get some cool French dudes to go whoop some butt with.  I searched around on the internet; I was going to go with Eureka Minis here in the US, but they're perpetually out of stock, so I ultimately find this guy over in France: https://www.jjgprint3d.com/boutique A little pricey, but not too bad, and really great minis.  I picked out enough for a team or two and put in my order, received it less than a month later, and they're fantastic little minis.

As always, they were painted using Contrast paints.  The camo was super easy: Militarum Green and Gore Grunta Fur over Skeleton Horde (over light gray primer), while the gear and helmets were Aggros Dunes over dark gray acrylic.

The whole mess, eight Legionnaires, consisting of a team leader (with HK416), a designated marksman (with suppressed HK-416), two machine gunners (with Minimi LMGs), and four riflemen (with FAMAS).

And the designated marksman, with spotting scope and suppressed HK-416, facemask under his helmet with NVGs.

And another look.

So, pretty doggone cool, right?  Bad news update: my boys were screwing around and dropped the box holding these guys, buncha stuff snapped off, still figuring out what I can fix...

V/R,
