An charcoal and pencil image drawn by a French War artist of a I/REAI trooper on a sweep through the lower Northern highlands after a successful Sahadi ambush of a Caliphate supply column. The sweep turned up a single contact with four local force Sahadi, none of whom were taken alive.
The figure is carrying the FAR-27 bullpup rifle in 7.5mm Short, but is missing the clip on 35mm grenade launcher that is usually standard. The "curiasse de tactique" is camouflaged with local paint stocks, a usual expedient as the "bleus" and the Kepi de combat stood out for Sahadi snipers like a sore thumb. This troops seems to be buying trouble, as he is defiantly wearing the Kepi Blanc.
Thanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteThe kepi was supposed to be the dark green "Kepi de Combat", but I guess I changed the color values too much while editing.
BTW, I arrranged and based my standard Sahadeen and all my support weapons (I have tons) and they await priming and painting. I have grouped them in teams of 8 with one MMG per team. I have 4 sniper teams and 3 missile as well as a command group. I am still figuring out how to organize

They will all get painted with mainly subdued tones of sand and camo green tones but with the addition of some reds to make them stand out. The "Black Guard" will be painted similarly but their long cloaks will be painted with a grey highlight over a black base.
Send me pics of that...I'll probably want to copy it.
