Thanks folks!
Terry, the LoA figures are stunning sculpts!

@Ace - the musketeers are all three poses from FI-13 and Leon put in several extra figures with war clubs (which I'm using as officers)
Leon had also suggested the Ancient Indians to me so the bows and spears are from AI-11. I added shields (fairly uncommon in the East) to the spearmen to add color variety (and balance the figure a bit). I think the bows very well match contemporary illustrations from the 17th c. These guys have to cover from Peqouts to Powhattans and back up to Narragansetts, across an entire century.

@Pixie - Thanks, the best information on the Spanish Horse at Tangier is that they are four troops of the Duke of Osuna's regiment. Having no other information, the cornet is taken from the Duke's arms.

Sounds very reasonable :D

Also, good job on the First Nations guys.

Thanks for the info d-Guy, I already thought it would be those. I'm working on a bunch of Indians for 10mm Muskets & Tomahawks and some armed with bows might be interesting... I will certainly consider these! The Woodland Indians with warclubs are 'officers' in my organisation as well! ;)

Have continued to work in small bits almost everyday and have completed my fifteen "Mollinary Structures" (unit casualty markers):

I had named the prototype a "Mollinary Structure" having blatantly copied the idea from a certain member of this forum.
The name stuck in my head. The flags are "scatter" and I can put an appropriate one on for story-telling purposes.  I'll likely use some other types of scatter later

My first group of generic woodland Indians are finished and based:

They will likely make their first appearance as Powhattans in the 1630's.

The Spanish Horse at Tangier circa 1680 is also complete:


Beginning work of a dozen or so LoA command groups  for 1670 - 1690 English and colonial militia.
Also about to base-coat a dozen Elizabethan Targeteers and officers for Virgina colonial milita in the 1620's - 30's.

Oooh!!

I do like those. All of them.


One little thought, perhaps distress the flags a little more on the casualty markers (aka Mollinary Structures), they look a little pristine for the carnage that is around them. A few holes, a bit of black to represent smoke, nothing too fancy, and something that can hopefully be done in situ.

Thanks fred!

That's a really good idea with the flags. I have dozens of them In a jar (I used to do several for each regiment then decided against it).

I'm with Fred, on those.

Really nice stuff, Bill.
