1st Mohawk Unit

During the weekend I also managed to finish the last 3 of the 6 Mohawks in my first unit for a Mohawk War Party. They are ofcourse to be used with the Muskets & Tomahawks rules.

First some pictures of the 3 newbees and them some pictures of the entire group on their movement tray from Warbases.

Minis from Galloping Major.

House of Grubendal

I have painted some medieval Danish minis on commision, this will represent 2 Knights from the Danish noble house of Grubendal and their retuine.

Minis are from Claymore Castings (exccept for the Banner holder that are a Perry mini) , 20mm bases and tray from Warbases and the banner from www.krigsspil.dk

2 more Mohawks

I´m keep on painting them Mohawks, 2 more have reched the final stage and are finished, just 3 more to go and the first group/unit are ready for a Raid... suppouse I will need some more member in the tribe ready to be a Succesfull Warchif...

Best of all now have at least 5 other members at the club bought FIW minis and are in progress of painting them:)

First of the Mohawks

I have primed the Mohawks black and brushed the first 7 of them with Chocolate Brown to get some contours and a good base coat to start with.

Minis from Galloping Major and Bases and Trays from Warbases

As you might have notised on the first picture I also finished the First of the Mohawks as a test mini.

I think he turned out quite well, but I might be a little bit more daring with the warpaint on the next ones:)

3rd "Fora" for the Crusade...

Here are some pictures of the 3rd Fora/Sledge for my Baltic Crusade project.

The Fora/Sledge are based on the Perry RN 34 Single horse peasant/ Cossack wagon from the Russian napoleonic range.

As I already used the driver on one of the other sledges I had to make me a new one using a Gripping Beast Plastic Saxon with a hooded head from West Wind

Starting with the Mohawks

I have started to sort out my christmas gift, the Mohawk warparty from Galloping Major.

They have now all been glued to round 20mm bases from Warbases and are up for priming, then the painting will begin...

I hope to have them all painted by the end of February, as I think it will take some more time to paint the Warpainting on them.

My and Jonas FIW project might have started a Muskets & Tomahawk hype at our club... I poste the first post about it at our forum today and just in a couple of houres at least 4 other members have stated that they will join in for som FIW skirmish gaming, seem like this will be the club project for the spring of 2013:)

Making a 3rd Sledge

As you most often need 3 wagons/sledges in wargaming scenarios I decided to use the Perry RN 34 Single horse peasant/ Cossack wagon to build me a 3rd sledge...

Here are some pictures of the progress so far...

Plans for 2013

So the new year have begun, a perfect time for setting some miniatures and gaming plans for 2013.

Kalmar Union War

Of course will I continue my 15th century Swedish project i.e Kalmar Union War. I haven´t decided what will be next up at the painting table... Artillery, Dismounted Knights, Mounted Crossbowmen or maybe some more Allmoge, can´t have to many...

I plan to continue to use Dux Suecia as my main rules for this project but there will probably be some Hail Caesar games in this era to.

Baltic Crusades

I will also continue my Baltic Crusade project, starting up some Hetathen that my Swedish Crusaders can convert...

For the Baltic Crusades Project I will start playtest the Lion Rampant rules by Dan Mersey, As I start that up I will tell you as much as I´m allowed in my AAR about Dan´s new hot medieval wargaming rules.

Not an official logo, just my own creation;)

French and Indian War

The new project for 2013 will be to paint me some Mohawk, Woodland Indians by Galloping Major to be used in some FIW games using Muskets & Tomahawks.

As usual I might get inspiration for some other new project or small interlude, but at least I had a plan for 2013;)
