'Reconnaissance' from RayR: That way



Its Bonus round time again. Curt seems to bamboozle me each year with his choices for
bonus rounds and this year, its no different.
I always try and use figures I've already got or I can use in any of the periods
I already own. Luckily I already had these figures in my unpainted pile. 
The figures are from Redoubt Miniatures Scout pack, with 1 addition, the chap with the white face.



Obviously as they're a Scout pack the fine fellows would have been sent out to recon
the area or track their enemy, but they can also be used as normal warriors.


I really like the Redoubt Indians, they're so full of character and life.
I tried out the Army Painter Strong Tone on these, its a bloody godsend!
I shall be using this a lot more often from now on.


30 points for the figures plus an extra 5 for the luvvly shading plus the Bonus round bonus of 50 points makes a grand total of 575 (Editor: WTF?).

  1. Well done Ray! It is a bonus when we can get something we already want to do into one of these bonus rounds, eh?

  2. It wouldn't be a theme round without you being bamboozled, Ray. :) Great work on these lovely castings.

    2. And it wasn't like you were even trying to be subtle. If you had added just a few points it would have got me going, but over 500? You careless grifter, Rousell. ;)

  5. Lovely work, I like what you’ve done with the skin too. I’ll need to give this army painter stuff I hear so much about a go one of these days.

  10. French and Indian wars with an Indian warband what's not to like! Seems we both have the same picture of what a scout is.

  12. 575 points - clearly from the If in doubt go large school of Advanced Mathematics! A cracking entry - I do like this period and this has inspired me to re-visit it. Lovely work

    1. I've never been that good at Math Peter? I'll be looking out for some Indians from you soon then.
