Over the past week or two, between other burst of activity, I have worked my way through the last 12 of the 28 Crusader Miniatures Woodland Indian figures I bought earlier in the year, and here they are:
There is not an awful lot to say about them really - it's been quite nice, being able to "make up" the colours of their clothing, accoutrements and facial paint - no reference books required! I decided some would not have war paint - I don't know if that is historically accurate and I am not overly concerned either - I like the look of them all, which is all that matters to me really!
Thanks for your visit and I hope you have time in your busy day to leave a quick comment!
Nicely done Keith
ReplyDeleteThanks Scotty
DeleteThese are quite a fearsome lot. If I was out on the the frontier, I would sleep with BOTH eyes open.
ReplyDeleteAnd I would not blame you, Jon!
DeleteThese are excellent!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mark 😊
DeleteYou have a very decent war band, very nicely done. The one shooting from behind the tree stump is a wee cracker, great work all round.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie, for the skirmish level type games I vaguely have in mind, 24 figures is plenty 👍
DeleteLovely work sir!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michal
DeleteSuper work Keith. If they look good to you then they look good to me too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Richard
DeleteNice pose behind the tree stump for the kneeling guy.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them Norm
DeleteGreat job on these Keith. I like the colours you have chosen.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence...I seem to recall reading the favoured colours for war paint were red, black and yellow.... they look good to me, anyway!
DeleteThe bright white war paint really pops. Looks cool and ghostly. It’d be what I would want. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew - I used some creative license and imagined how I (or an Indian warrior) might paint a skull on his face, to scare his enemy!
DeleteGreat looking Injuns, Keith! I always have to check posts to see which manufacturer these are. They all look very similar (and good). Warpaint is a must for these guys.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean - my Woodland Indians are all Crusader Miniatures - in fact, I have one of every figure they make in this range!
DeleteSuperb Indians with gorgeous faces...Eye candies!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil, I appreciate your supportive words.
DeleteThey look great as you say nice to be able to free style clothing for the period.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Stu
Cheers Stu, they were fun and easy to paint....I am back on British Napoleonic cavalry now....not quite the same!
DeleteErrr...they are looking scary...lol. Nice one. I am a big Last of the Mochicans fan ....and so these are tempting - I do like Crusader figures...nice sculpts. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot GW...I have the Warlord LoTM character figures "somewhere"....I went through several boxes over the weekend but failed to locate them 😕
Deleteohhh no ...you've lost the LoTM...you need to find them. Thats a game/scenario you need to play. The "La Longue Carabine" is definitely needed to fight off these guys!
DeleteMy thoughts exactly....just got to find them!
DeleteNice work Keith they look quite scary 👍
ReplyDeleteCheers Matt, I guess that is the general idea behind warpaint! Just found your comment (and Steve's below) in my spam folder again!
DeleteGreat work on those Keith with nice warpaint too:).
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve. glad you like my efforts!
DeleteNice work Keith. I think between you and me and a couple of others in the group we have enough Indian figures to represent the entire native population of North America in the mid-18th century.
ReplyDeleteWell, isn't that often the way Mark?! I think you have said more than once your old mate Jim had multiple battalions of Pavlovsky guards...and John Berry had hordes of FPW Prussian Guard infantry!
