August is brutal where I live! At least that's the story I'm sticking with for my August break. Please enjoy this popular post from the past:
Except for the figure on the rock (Magua from Warlord Games), all figures came from the boxed metal set (19 in total) from Warlord Games.
As readers of the blog know, I've been painting 6 figures at a time of my Native Warband to:
a. Individually painted figures (non-production line) take longer.
b. To give me a "creative" break between groups.
I had a great time painting these figures for the French and Indian War as I have never painted Native Americans (except for one US deputy marshal in the Wild West) and I had a great time looking at primary source illustrations, reading eyewitness accounts, and looking at what contemporary artists have done.
The last six, primarily based on descriptions of the Battle of Bushy Run.
For the entire War Band of 18 figures (categorized as Large for Rebels and Patriots if I use all 18) I went with the 3, 2, 1 alternative basing for the game which really gives an "irregular" look to the unit. In addition, I was able to add some extra details to the larger bases to make mini vignettes.
"3"
"2"
"1"
Okay it is self-indulgent time as I post various pictures of the completed War Band:
