WAB Corner

This site was created late in 2008, just a few years after first becoming involved in wargaming. As you can tell by the name, WAB was my introduction to this community. I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!

Happy Easter! And More Eureka Hawaiians

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!
