hi there ! although my minis are not what you would call historically accurate,
i have the "Kroot" minis from the 40 k line as my Indians and
the tau minis as my french regulars or was it my local french forces?
i will have to check to make sure
any way i am using them in a future tech war based on the french and Indian war
i am using the 40k "Praetorians" as my British forces in this and another game "orks drift" i am pretty sure you will get the connection.
welcome to the forum and enjoy there are some amazing artists and gamers here, don't forget to check the gallery (at the bottom is an option to view all the photos or if you have a preferred artist you may find a page of their stuff.)
Again enjoy , yours Budo (i am in the Concord /Charlotte area).
