Hello challengers,
I do very much enjoy The silver bayonet game and the sculpts from Northstar are great, adding some brilliant variety to Napoleonic wargaming which is often typified by endless ranks of similar figures.
This week I am painting some of the miniatures from the Canada range, and have finished six so far. I copied the box art as I have no idea what Canadians wore in 1812. The dude in the middle's jacket looks like a 19th century hi vis equivalent.
Also this week I complete another of the Banhus Miniatures shell creations. This one is like a crab man and might be Useful in Ghost Archipelago.
Seven 28mm foot = 35 points for the tally this week.
Kind regards
Geoff.
From Millsy: Thus far I have resisted the Canada expansion but you're making that a harder ask with these fine fellows Geoff. I'm particularly impressed by the Indian Tracker (I think that's what he is?) with the striped jacket. The preacher/priest is also pretty cool and looks ready to knock some sense into whatever comes his way. Never argue with a ginger armed with a big stick!
Great painting - love the Silver Bayonets figures ...
ReplyDeletegosh these are some colourfull characters, great paintjob!
ReplyDeleteI really like what you did with those Silver Bayonet Canadians and that Crab Man is lovely, weird but lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely work on the silver bayonet group. The crab guy is a great figure for a horror campaign.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with endless ranks of similar figures, but these characterful miniatures are very nice and you have achieved a fantastic result with them, well done!
ReplyDeleteThat is a some great painting of some wonderful sculpts.
ReplyDeleteGeez, those Canadians could be featured in advertising for the figures. Love the detail on the fabrics/textiles. Terrific painting Geoff.
ReplyDeleteReally nice work.
ReplyDeleteNice work on all the fabric!
ReplyDeleteJust brilliant
ReplyDeleteI have not ventured into Silver Bayonet but this entry is making it hard to resist.
