I bought these chaps pre-painted from Grubby Tank/Redoubt Minis at Broadside back in June. I had asked Andy to paint up a few, so he did. I was pretty lucky actually, I got to the stall just before Postie otherwise he'd have bought the lot for his FIW army!!!
Now they are all based up and added to my King William's War/Bacon's Rebellion Native army for Donnybrook shenanigans, (have I ever mentioned Donnybrook before??)
I think I might add some cotton wool or some kind of fibre to make them look like they're burning. Anyone got any good ideas how to do this?
That should be my Native force complete.............should?
Some fierce looking warriors.
ReplyDeleteDonnybrook? No, you've never mentioned it...
Hmm?
DeleteGood purchase Ray as they look great! I'm a big fan of Redoubt Indians as they have a real dangerous look to them.
ReplyDeleteChristopher
They do Chris, and although I didn't paint these, they are so easy to paint up.
DeleteI really like the skin tones.
ReplyDeleteCheers Phil
DeleteHow did you do them, I'm thinking orc skins. It'll make the warpaint show better.
DeleteAfraid I didn't paint them Phil. I picked them up at a show from Redoubt minis.
DeleteDuh. Speed reading posts on your phone does make one say the stupidest things.
DeleteGreat grab, Ray! Fine looking Natives.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan.
DeleteWell done Ray, characterful and beautiful natives!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil.
DeleteYou could add Cotton wool but then storage becomes a prob and they look fine without.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was thinking?? Wonder if I can make something I could take off and on???
DeleteOh very good. I'm having a bit of a FIW revival too.
ReplyDeleteFIW's one of my favs!
DeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLoving these Ray!
ReplyDeleteCheers Sir M!
DeleteCracking Indians! Cannily snapped up. :). I think cotton wool would do the trick but a squirt of grey paint to knock it Vancouver from white perhaps?
ReplyDeleteHmmm? Sounds like a plan.
DeleteI was trying to say “knock it back from white” but auto correct knows best ;-D
DeleteAll readt for some form of Indian Olympics ?
ReplyDeleteThey do look good and what about experimenting with colured cellophane (The stuff ccolates are wrapped in) and use Kapoc rather than cotton wool woul dbe my suggestion fpr smoke.
Hmm? That's a different idea Joe, should look pretty cool as well.
DeleteVery nice additions Ray :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsin.
DeleteGreat looking native Americans! Have you played a game of Donnybrook yet?
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
For my sins yes, but only 1 game. I seem to be a lot better at collecting the figures than playing games with the blighters!!!
DeleteVery nice Ray, more than enough to set the frontier alight.
ReplyDeleteIndeedy!
