Sahel Conflicts: More Modern French Foreign Legion

Work continues on my French Foreign Legion for Mali and the Sahel. As before, these are a combination of Eureka Miniatures and JJG Print 3D figures. To help distinguish the combat groups on the table, I've done one with tan body armor and another with green. Webbing remains a mix of both colors. Painting recipes are on the previous post.

For the FN MAG 58 machine gun, I've opted to base it as a team rather than as individuals as is standard in Bolt Action.  I had some challenges with the primary gunner, both in terms of painting in all the nooks and crevasses, and in accidentally  breaking some of the finer details off during painting. He also didn't want to sit flat on the base, so had to hide some of the gaps with basing details and the other figures. But in the end, I think I got him reassembled well enough was happy with the final product.
