Oooooh, I wish I were there! Great setup, Yankeepedlar01! A bit linear for my liking but that is a stunning table.

How are the rules coming along? Great looking setup, very jealous here. Foundry figs just look great don't they? I'm still banging along on my first mutiny unit- Neil's bluecaps, but stupid work and Call of Pripyat pc game keep getting in the way.

Thanks! Rules played well ~ eight moves in two hours ~ but still need a good deal of fine tunning beforer being offered up for others to use. I lost, of course, though I blame the dice.... :'(

How are you painting mutineer skin tones? I've been wondering how I will do it, and yours look great on film- good depth.

awsome collection

one question for interest:
how comes the buildings are reddish?
the mud, authentic colour or artistic freedom?
they look good

Copied from the Mutineer buildings I saw on their game last year at Partizan. Northern Indian colour I believe.
