Title: Nemo's Crew Uniforms
Post by: VSF Gamer on December 16, 2011, 05:36:01 PM: Ok, I've bougt some sikhs to act as the crew of the Natalus. Any suggestions on uniform color other than the blue and white used in LEG movie. These are NWF Sikhs so they have rifles and web gear and normally kaki uniforms. Anyone??

Or use green accents to match the comic version of the captain:

They are submariners, so maybe a more sinister look....

Post by: VSF Gamer on December 16, 2011, 06:41:04 PM: The thought of using Hinterland sailors did cross my mind, but I already have the Sikhs. However the next ship that needs a crew I am leaning toward the Hinterland sailors.

Idea: Hinterland Captain Nema.

I was looking for an excuse to buy those sailors, and you may have just given it to me
Thank you, Froggy!

(You bad man, my missus will not be best pleased. At least she cannot accuse me of buying more 'little men'!)

Post by: fastolfrus on December 17, 2011, 01:54:02 PM: I seem to recall one of the 16th century Indian armies wore vermillion turbans.
Can't remember which one.
