Tiberian border militia Spencer Smith miniatures.

Post by Willz the Wargamer »

Finished these today, Tiberian border militia using Spencer Smith miniatures.
The flag is from David at "Not buy Appointment" French militia.

"Who the hell would wear hunting shirts into battle" bellowed Jean Luc Pickard across the table to the merchant in Mrs Miggins loud and smoke filled pie and ale shop, why don't you try and sell underwear with your name on it to those Americans as they will buy anything. "The hunting shirts are all the rage in the Americas" replied the merchant, "I don't care" said Jean Luc "as a favour I will give you 100 silver doubloons for the consignment at that's my final offer". "Deal " sulked the merchant knowing Jean luc of old and realising that a better deal was not on the table. "Done" replied Jean Luc and spat on his hand offering it to the merchant to seal the deal.
The 600 hunting shirts were loaded onto Jean luc's waiting carts, Jean luc had paid up in full, pondering the merchant thought "hmmm underwear with my name on it" as he boarded the lead wagon of Calvin Klein and sons merchants tailors to Europe and Americas. He was still pondering as the wagons rolled out the city gates "underwear with my name on it"......

Jean Luc had made a huge profit on the hunting shirt deal as he had overheard a conversion between the colonel and the quartermaster of the Tiberian border militia who were looking to outfit their newly raised border militia not a hour before he closed the deal with Calvin Klein. "Sirs waxed jean Luc I have just the thing you need to outfit your battalion", "Hunting shirts ideal for the rigors of the border regions and all the rage in the Americas" "and you know the King loves all things American". "Let me order us some wine" , several bottles later Jean Luc was riding out the city gate 600 gold doubloons richer.
