Added another full set of Eureka Hawaiians; wanted a few more figures, and since Eureka USA only carried the full set packs, ordered their last one in stock.
Painted this batch in a lighter skin tone - starting with Vallejo Dark Flesh, then a stain of Minwax, followed by a wash of Vallejo Ink Skin Wash mixed with a little black ink.
Below is all of the four sets together, which should be enough for a 6-7 player Tribal game. Note the differences in skin tones as I progressively used lighter colors.
Here are the Ali'i, or chiefs, in their feathered capes and helmets.
As mentioned in earlier posts, these capes and helmets used feathers from thousands of birds each - which is why those species of birds became extinct.
I probably won't run a game with these until after Enfilade next month. I don't want toconfuse myself between the Tribal and One Hours Skirmish Wargames rules, as I'll be using the latter at Enfilade for my Napoleonic games. Hope you all had a good Easter!
Great work Dean, the feathered capes and helmets of the chiefs are very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much again, Mike! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteGreat work Dean and the Happy Easter too!
ReplyDeleteWow! And Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteHad a great Easter, thanks Dean - as did you, by the look of things! That is quite a collection of Hawaiian tribal warriors you have there now - they look fantastic, too!
