| The Arcanist (Shaman) |
My local band of wargaming brothers plays a lot of different games - SAGA (various flavours), Beyond the Gates of Antares, Kings of War, Bolt Action, Zona Alpha, Monster Apocalypse, Rampant various, Battle Tech, Black Powder (if I'm running something) and anything else that anyone fancies. One of the rulesets we started looking at is Dracula's America - a skirmish/scuffle with small warbands of around ten minis.
It takes place in an alternate post civil war universe with several fun factions - including a risen south with confederate zombies, paladin gunfighters, vampires and the skinwalkers - native americans with some shape shifting abilities.

These skinwalkers are a mixture of North Star Miniatures official warband and Warlord Games Comanches. I traded them for a box of Frostgrave Gnolls in an unusual thinning of the shelf of shame. I had instant regret about the gnolls which were going to be a Kings of War unit - Frostgrave might be fun...
For the shrine the war band includes an arcanist - who is a sort of shaman as well as this guy with the horns, fur and warpaint that kinda sorta reminds me of a shaman who's been in the news lately.
The group took ages to paint and base - I'm more used to batch painting and the members of this warband wanted to be painted individually. It was my first attempt at native american skin - still need to work on the fleshtones - there's a P3 colour that lots of Youtubers recommend for nonwhite tones. I'm behind plan for dungeon exploration so might need to hitch a ride with a witch to get to the next level.

That's ten minis and a room bonus for 70 points. Apologies if this is a lot of pictures for one room!
I think they look great; the red and blue splashes of colour really tie them together.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I like them. Sounds like your group has a very healthy and diverse diet of rules/games.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking native Americans.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking figures. Got a chuckle over the regrets on trading the box of figures.
ReplyDeleteLovely collection of figures and no complaints about enough pictures to see them all!

Terrific work Pete! I love the setting and your group's tastes sounds as wildly eclectic as ours. I wonder if your horned shaman has any dietary issues like the fascist snowflake currently in the slammer. Probably not.
ReplyDeleteInteresting you should wonder. My shaman only eats GMO, GMO fed and/or mystery meats.
DeleteGreat set of figs 👍
