Here are some pics of the Legion d'Antibes, which form part of my Pontifical Army for the Risorgimento. The Legion was formed from French Imperial recruits in the service of the Pope and were part of the battle of Mentana (1867).

I need 2 more units of Zouaves, some Swiss and more French Line. After that, I will tackle the Garabaldini…

The Legion figures are from Pendraken's Pacific War range, with the exception of a FPW range officer (also Pendraken). Apparently the Legion were equipped in French uniforms, but also wore havelocks. Since many of the Pacific War uniforms were based on the French, I figured tjis would be a good way to represent them.
