Quickdraw's French

[Quickdraw]

Hi everybody. Over the past week I have been working on some French land units. I haven't ever played on land and I think it will be a fun way to keep Dystopian Wars fresh.

Here are the land units


And some air support

@Quickdraw, great work as usual! I like the French flags, and the offset on the tank turrets is a nice touch. Can you post a few more pics of the large landship?

Guess I better start painting up my FSA land forces...

[Quickdraw]

Thanks
I can do that tomorrow when I have a chance. I'll take some closer, lower shots of some of the squadrons.

[Quickdraw]

As requested. Here are a couple more shots of the Bastille.

Very nice, very nice. The colors wouldn't fit into combat on the plains of Europe...so I'm getting a "French Foreign Legion" vibe from these models.

[Quickdraw]

Thats what i was thinking. Sort of a Northern Africa locale.

Oh! they look really nice, the french in dessert colours. ^_^

[Quickdraw]

Thanks Sailion!

Very nice! I have a box of the French land stuff myself...I really need to get those guys painted some day.

WOW!  Really look great!  Lets get a land battle set up soon so I can see them in person.

Great stuff! You should name your Bastille as Le Beau Geste

[Quickdraw]

I finished some more land units. The second Bastille can act as a Danton Landship because there isn't a model for it. The bombards are one of my favorite models and they perform really well so a second squadron was a no brainer. Then we have some heavy tanks, these put out the most dice of any of the French units and they work great, even if they are pricey for a full set of three. Six on the table would be deadly but also a huge chunk of points.

Awesome work! I really like this scheme. This will work well in the forthcoming Africa campaigns, I think . The Tri-color on the track guards really sets them off.

[Quickdraw]

Thanks Ruckdog. The Africa setting will be pretty neat. I'm going to rethink my basing technique, hence why I haven't based these yet. I'm not impressed with the medium ballast I used earlier. I might try the Citadel texture paints but jeeze are they expensive.

Quickdraw, great stuff as usual. Really like the theme. +1 for the tricolor on the treadguards, really makes the models pop.

Is there a requirement to base the tanks and landships in Dystopian Wars? I know the models came with bases, but I can't remember if it's required to use them.
