Slowly making progress painting the Puritan militia figures from Brigade games. These are typical civilian dressed figures representing the field forces sent to combat the native warriors or defenders if the local town. The figures are nice with good details and pretty easy to paint. But being used to mass painting uninformed regulars its a bit different having to make up civilian colors and make sure each figure is different.
Once done I will be mounting the figures individually on round bases. And since they will be handled a lot extra garnishing to protect the painting.
Next up will be the Wampanoag warriors of Philip himself. In addition I have a number of wagons and more armed civilians on order from Warfare miniatures USA. These are I believe the League of Augsburg line ief figures. The wagons can be used for all of my miniature collections and the figures are wearing the correct clothing for the period. More on these once they arrive!
Painting will be on hold for a couple of days as we are off to visit Maine this weekend.
Nice work Mark.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray!
ReplyDeleteI agree - its hard when painting un uniformed groups to make sure you dont end up with them too "samey"! They do look like very nice figures and I will be interested to see how the Warfare ones match up size wise
ReplyDeleteThank you. The new figures and wagons sill be arriving Monday so we shall see then.
ReplyDeleteThy militia is most handsome.
ReplyDeleteThose look great Mark and as you say, always trickier painting civilians than uniformed troops.
