Some Slightly Different Figures

 A couple of months back, I purchased these Warlord figures from a local retailer - see here Bydand: A Small Package (1808534.blogspot.com)

A few days ago, I decided I needed a break from plastic GNW Russians, so pulled this small group from the "waiting" drawer, and after consulting this site Light Bobs and Paint Blobs: April 2023 as well as some Google searches, I quickly painted up these lovely Last of the Mohicans character figures!

Natty Bumppo, or Hawkeye. A famous marksman, Hawkeye carries a rifle named Killdeer and has earned the frontier nickname La Longue Carabine

Chingachgook

Uncas’s father, he is one of the two surviving members of the Mohican tribe. An old friend of Hawkeye, Chingachgook is also known as Le Gros Serpent—The Great Snake—because of his crafty intelligence.

Uncas

Chingachgook’s son, he is the youngest and last member of the Indian tribe known as the Mohicans. A noble, proud, self-possessed young man, Uncas falls in love with Alice Munro and suffers tragic consequences for desiring a forbidden interracial coupling. Noble Uncas thwarts the evil Magua’s desire to marry Alice. Uncas also functions as Hawkeye’s adopted brother and learns about leadership from Hawkeye.

Alice, the younger half-sister loved by both Uncas and the evil Magua.

The five "goodies" together

Magua

The story's villain, he is a cunning Huron nicknamed Le Renard Subtil, or the Subtle Fox. Once a chief among his people, Magua was driven from his tribe for drunkenness. Because the British Colonel Munro enforced this humiliating punishment, Magua possesses a burning desire for retaliation against him.

I enjoyed the break of painting up these figures - its the second pair of Munro sisters I now have in my collection -(see the others here Bydand: Finally, Some Painted Figures! (1808534.blogspot.com)) and the idea of adding a third from the Redoubt Miniatures range (FIX 31 - Redoubt Enterprises) is still bubbling away in my fevered brain!

I am off to a large Crimean War game tomorrow, with my Ebor Miniatures British Light Division - infantry, NOT the Light BRIGADE, who we all know about! So my next post will probably be written tomorrow evening.
