French Foreign Legion from West Wind

In the Pulp Alley campaign played at the club we are moving from Mexico to Morocco and there we will need a couple of French Foreign Legion soldiers to make life miserable for our brave adventurers.
These soldiers come from CIC-4 French Foreign Legion pack from West Wind. I asked my resident Foreign Legion-specialist Thomas for some tips on paint-scheme for these guys and he sent me an illustration and with that as a base I googled a bit for more inspiration. I'm not saying that these little tin men are in any way historically correct, but they will work in a game.
I was in a bit of a rush to get these guys finished as we will need them next week at the club.
Paints used:
Uniform – Citadel Foundation Mordian Blue with a black wash and drybrushed Mordian Blue
Trousers, putees and kepi – off white with a black wash and a drybrush of white.
All leather – black with a hightlight of Vallejo 822 German Camo Black Brown
Water Bottle – 922 Neutral Grey with a black wash

  2. I was going to link to Kepi Blanc but that was not written when these uniforms were worn so we'll pull out the sausage instead.
