Gents,

Bought my first Fantassin figures at Salute - only two packs though - one containing a French Divisional General and his ADC and the other containing three mounted infantry officers. I have started painting the first pack. The human anatomy and proportions are good and the posture is pleasing. I still haven'yt made up my mind about the horses. The downside, however, is that definition is not great - even after a light black wash. Although the relative lack of definition can be overcome with good painting, it makes the process somewhat more laborious.

Is the above generally representative of Fantassin figures ?
