French Indian War Milice

 

Slowly adding to my French Indian War collection with some Milice canadien and some Indian warriors. These figures were primed black and then a white zenithal highlight was added. I am trying to use up all my Citadel acrylics as they are all drying out. They are good paints but I am all done with them because of their packaging. I will stick with their washes as well as their contrast paints, these are much less likely to disappear on you. I have been using Scale 75, Vallejo and some Army Painter acrylics in dropper bottles. For basic airbrushing through I have been using Tamiya. Paint choice has really evolved for me over the past 20 years.

These are really nice figures from Brigade Games and were a joy to paint. This particular lot of Milice maybe slighter in build than the ones from Conquest Miniatures but have no problem mixing in with in the same force. The red coated figure will be a colonial militia sergeant in my Devil in the Wilderness force. I originally painted these milice to be used as Colonial Militia in DiW games but I think I will substitute them with some previously painted militia figures from my FIW figures, these figures are more how I would imagine as Coureur des bois

These figures are from the Conquest Miniatures Delaware Indians pack, certainly distinctive looking and will be used in DiW games. 

I finally received my Provincial Infantry figures from Brigade Games, these were in their 2nd FIW kickstarter and they are about half done now. I am painting them in the distinct green/red livery of one of the Pennsylvania regiments. I also received some Puritans from Brigade Games, they will serve as distinctive civilians for DiW games.
