@oriskany I’m not one much for historical skirmish but when you mentioned the blackpowder era I picked my brain for a moment and pulled Blue Moon Manufacturing. They have a line Drums in the Ohio Valley of French, Indian and British forces that cover colonial settlement into the area. I had a bit of a flash of being a kid watching the reenactments of some of the battles in Indiana when I thought back on the figures. The ranges would definitely be closer to the ranges we find in  skirmish gaming.

@elessar2590 Yes, the figure is from Reaper (02869 – Elise) Looking at it I see better painting but more of the same in that people don’t do anything for display with good basing. The troops are looking properly grubby for being out in the field.

@sundancer I’ve found using white and then GW’s Casandora Yellow shade works for me to get a uniform bright yellow without having to worry much about layering over other stuff. I finished off the pumpkins with that to try and get them to pop. I think it washed out the overall contrast though.

@rayzryrSweet deal on the gobs and puppy (alas other pup we never saw you and in the age of pics or didn’t happen you are as Schrodinger’s cat). Yes, the pumpkin is happy I’d say. A quick language lesson, Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian “bundeva”= pumpkin; Brazilian Portuguese “bunda” = booty. Definite compliments on the underrated korma in the background. Indian food is yummy and good.

No pun mastery? But… but… the Fett-id atmosphere comment was beautiful. It was plenty punny enough to get a groan response out of evilstu. I will need to try harder.
