From GeoffreyT: The silver bayonet, Canada (35 points)

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!

  4. Lovely work on the silver bayonet group. The crab guy is a great figure for a horror campaign.
