Until I started play-testing this game, I had never really thought about witch-hunting miniatures, but I was able to pull together a set for only about $50. USD
- I had some unpainted F&I Indians (the Old Glory scalping set, some of which will paint up to make good zombie-Wabenaki)
- I had lots of ECW musketeers, and the coats are a little short but the Colonists can be a little behind the times, right?
- I had to buy Milice (I got a set from the Old Glory F&I line)
- I had to buy some good character figures for the Wabenaki: I went with Crucible Crush

- I had some Preacher figures (for ECW) and those work for the protagonists (Crazy Puritain priests with bibles are actually pretty easy to find!)
- I already had wolves and bears, but I needed to buy some plague rats – I got a set from Reaper
- I already had villagers (ECW peasants)
I was pretty happy that I could kit myself out for such a reasonable sum, based on my historical collection.
Now my biggest problem is doing justice to those Crucible Crush Hurons – they are nice figures!
What I really like about the Kickstarter is the buildings – why are Colonial American buildings in 28mm so hard to find? Not anymore!
Cheers,
