Been working on this project on and off for about a year and a half now. Yesterday I became motivated to finish this group of 14 Iroquois warriors which now gives me enough to play both sides. I completed the Huron War party last year.
I do want to add some villiagers and forest animals. I think I might do that this week.
Had these sitting around forever and every time my friend came over he’d ask, did you paint your canoes? Of course not I would say you know I can’t focus on one subject for more than a week.
So finally I knocked these guys out. Doesn’t make much sense doing the subject period without them. Now I have to go and find my forest animals and get them going.
Oh and I meant to use my bottle of water effects but found it had dried up into a hard lump. Oh well pictures for now until I get some.
Well I finished six more Indians for my Huron War Party for Flint and Feather, with three more to go to complete band. Then I get to paint the Iroquois. This will give me enough to put on games for both sides. These are wonderful sculpts by Crucible Crush and I enjoyed painting them. After looking at many drawings and doing some reading on face paint and tattoos I may have gotten a little creative but I like them. I like the last photo of the Shaman with his mask and cool magical turtle shell. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
So being that these are pre contact woodland Indians I had to really think about colors. The hardest part being the warpaint and tattoos. I want colors for this to be different for each Indian, but I also want them tied together for a theme. For me it will be easier to pick out who's who on the table top since it's Indian on Indian.
Here are my first four. I want 14 painted for each side, then after a few battles I can add more if I need to. I also have the Canoe set, and the woodland animals, and I definitely want that on the table.
I've been overwhelmed by different projects, but I got a little me time and painted up my first test Indian miniature from Crucible Crush. Their ruleset is called Flint and Feather. Haven't tried it out yet but if I turn out not to be a fan I'll use them for the ruleset Tribal.
These miniatures are pre contact and are nicely detailed. I thought how hard is it to paint half naked dudes. Turns out pretty hard! These guys got a lot of busy details and they take a bit of patients to paint up.
