Lest we forget...

Pic from Fairmount Memorial Park  

It is Veteran's Day here in the US.

For those whom have already passed  -  my father (USN) and oldest brother (USANG), aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and beyond (USA, USN, USAAC/USAF) 

For those that are still here  -  my wife, sister (USAF), stepdaughter, stepson-in-law, stepson, nephew (USA), brother-in-law (USMC), cousins and aunts and uncles uncounted (all branches)

And, for those still serving - my youngest son, currently with the 101st Air Assault

You are remembered; thank you for your sacrifices

Huaxtecs, part 5

Slow progress to be sure, but the miniatures are starting to look good - here are some pics (possibly NSFW):

Here are some of the warriors wearing the tlahuiztli war suit, with 'hawk scratches' that are very characteristic of Huaxtec suit-wearers.  I have tried to introduce some variation in the fellows by having the hair and forehead feather fillet in different colors.  If I had thought more before starting, I would have switched some of the weapons around with some of the other figures, especially a maquahuitl or two.

Here are the other warriors, with a variety of weapons and tattoos.  



There are a lot of details that are not yet done, and the leader and his shamen are barely started, but it should not be too much longer...

Scottish schiltron spearmen in the foreground, backed by some Islemen.  Huaxtec on the right - some minor detail work finished.  Odds and sods on the left, with orcs, Shén, and my two new Frostgrave metal figures amongst others.

Frostgrave prize has arrived!

Just a quick pic:

I have received my prize from the fine fellows at Canister & Grape!

Many thanks again!

More shirts!

Yes, more t-shirts.  Game Faire was not the only show I attended.  Dragonflight is another, and still a current affair.  Unfortunately, I have not attended Dragonflight for some years, but maybe that will change...


And, the shirts:
