Nathaniel "Hawkeye" Poe

First miniature to be painted up from the "Last of the Mohicans" blister from Warlord Games. Great miniature, I love the extremely long rifle and the pose is really fitting too. It has movement but isn't "super dynamic". I decided to paint the face to have a frown, wanting the miniature to look slightly pissed at someone or something - if he is going to lead my militiamen or irregulars into battle I want him to look as if he means business.

The paintjob is based upon Hawkeye's appearance in the Last of the Mohicans movie featuring Daniel Day Lewis in the leading role, a movie which made me aware of the conflict and very interested in the subject thanks to the mix of small scale colonial battles and involvement of native Americans fighting alongside the European nations.
