I have made the jump into a new period. I just got my first order from Brigade Games King Philips War range of 25mm miniatures. These include King Philip himself, three packs of Pilgrims type militia and three packs of Wampanoag Indians. Interestingly I traded with one of guys in our club a Rev War infantry regiment to pay for these. So, it sorta free. Thus will not be a big period for figures. I plan on adding a small troop of mounted Pilgrims and some praying Indians to assist the settlers.
In ordering the King Philips War deal I got the three packs (15 figures) of the Pilgrims...
...And three packs (15 figures) of the Wampanoag Indians.
...and King Philip (Metacomet) himself. Interestingly the figure has him armed with his war club. The actual artifact is in a local museum near where I live.
Brigade games are the only manufacturer to make figures for this time period. I suspect you could use English Civil War for the setterlers. In fact I have to look through lists for these figures as I will need both male and female civilians to add to thus collection.
The figures are nicely done and arrived with little clean up needed. Just mount them on my painting sticks and prime and I am ready to go.
Stay tuned for more!
Nice sculpts! This will be an interesting project to follow.
ReplyDeleteI am most excited about it. Lets see where it goes.
DeleteI've looked at these several times, wondering whether to add them to my collection or not. How do they match up in size to other figures?
ReplyDeleteThey are nice clean castings with very goid details. As to size they fit in well e th my Old Glory (second edition) and Knuckleduster miniatures.
DeleteThe strongest feature of the Praying Indians was detecting ambushes before they were sprung. Otherwise the Pilgrims and their matchlock muskets were often jumped by lurking Indians armed with flintlocks.
ReplyDeleteThey are on my list to add. Your right the Pilgrims need them to balance out.
DeleteThese look great.
ReplyDeleteThe Skulking Way of War is a great book to read.
Its outstanding.
DeleteOutstanding Mark......a new project ! This looks like it will be a cool one too.....will you be using skirmish scale rules do you think? From reading your recent posts, I would think you need considerably more natives than settlers?
ReplyDeleteI think it is going to be a lot of fun. And your right its definitely a skirmish type game for these. I plan on adding more figures for each side but it will not be as large as any if my other collections.
DeleteGreat figures and I look forward to seeing them painted and then in action:)
ReplyDeleteAs am I 😀
DeleteYeah, I always use the ‘sorta free’ thing too...😎 Lovely figures, so I’m sure you will do them proud.
ReplyDeleteThese are gonna look superb once painted.
