ILS NE PASSERONT PAS!

“They Shall Not Pass!” the French battlecry adopted after Verdun.

This hard plastic set allows you to build up to 35 French infantry equipped for either World War One or World War Two (with enough of each type of rifle and heads for all figures in the box).

You can also build the famed Harlem Hellfighters or the Senegalese Tirailleurs, the colonial infantry who fought in both wars. Lebel and Berthier rifles, Chauchatt and FM 24/29, VB rifle grenades, command options and more make this a complete set to bring the French to life in the first half of the 20th Century on the battlefields of Europe and around the world.

There are two sprues in the set: a full and a half and each box has five of each.

Models require assembly and painting. Bases are not included. Items may not exactly match the photos.

  • Sculpting: Thieu Duong
  • Illustration: Peter Dennis
  • Figure Painting: Matthew Leahy

Good kit

I liked this kit and it worked well for what I was doing, as it is super easy to kitbash and I love the variety of heads. The moulds were nice with almost no cleaning up needed.
I could have done with a booklet or other info of how to construct as lots of the arm options didn't seem to work very well together, but overall, the best option for French WW1 infantry out there.

Awesome kit, but what's what?

First: I love the detail and versatility of this kit, it's awesome!
BUT
There NEEDS to be a sprue guide, at the very least, detailing what each item is, and what era it belongs to. An arm matching guide would be nice too. When it was originally designed there was intent that was lost in a kit without instructions, or at least a parts guide.
I'm a mini painter and gamer first and foremost , and a professional historian not at all.
Nowhere is there a sprue breakdown detailing which items belong to which era, and I'm not inclined to spend hours in a library researching and comparing photos of french troops over 2 wars and thirty one years. The modern internet, with faulty AI responses, and anyone and everyone able to publish anything without verification or review is no real help either.
I've seen numbered sprue breakdowns, but never one with a guide as to what the part numbers MEAN.

Overall a great value, but VERY frustrating (unless you're a period historian with a private reference library).

Fantastic

An absolutely wonderful kit, with a large range of options for heads and equipment. Easy to assemble and the sculpted detail is generally crisp and clear. My box was initially missing one sprue, but a quick chat with customer service had it on its way to me in no time. Really great models. Really great service. Really rather happy!

Excellent kit.

Very good amount of parts for the price without sacrificing quality, I used it for a kitbash/conversion for Trench Crusade and it's working amazingly well so far!
