New early war French bundle from Warlord

Just had this pop up in the last newsletter from Warlord

I think the French mounted figures are new (or I haven’t seen them before), the Char 2 Bis is a bit heavy (much prefer to see a couple of R35s in the bundle instead as it’s a bit more historically accurate. But nice to see Warlord pressing ahead with the early war stuff (which is a bit more interesting to play as everyone’s equipment is well…….crap 😀

A S35 would be a good choice I think

*obvious bad joke incoming* Will the kits come with a white flag? 😉 #scnr

I like it but the Cavalry are a bit of a disappointment.

The riders are too big for the horses and the poses a bit weird.

Everything else is really cool. Those Medium Howitzers are brilliant. Maybe I’ll finally buy some early war minor power?

I don’t think the poses are that far off for the mounted troops (at least they didn’t do the firing to the left pose on a mounted figure…which is always my pet peeve). There’s some better pictures here, and they are up for pre-order so these are new figures…..

French Army Cavalry A

French Army Cavalry B

I actually think it’s the dismounted figures that suffer from bad posing, but that’s just my (rather picky) opinion 🙂

But you are right on the horse sizing, it’s always been the case when they cast horses in metal (no matter who the manufacturer). Perhaps you can call them “1er cheval de pit poney monté” in your army list 😀
