Quotable quotes...
“(On Zulu life) The first year or so of infancy was marked by a series of strengthening ceremonies which carried off more infants than disease did. Babies were smoked in fires, buried up to the neck in holes and abandoned for short periods, and had reeds thrust up their rectums and twirled till the blood flowed, all in the name of hygiene.”

If you look at Young's book Charge, you will find a Vivandiere in the organizational illustrations for the infantry. Here's my version based on what I had on hand.
While at MilleniumCon a couple of years ago, Reaper brought along their paint and take tables. I got to look at their figures and started painting a couple of them. Al Pare talked me into picking up the blister of wenches . He got a kick out of this miniature in particular. I painted this one to match the uniform of the Bandera de la Reina.
The miniature is mounted on a pill shaped base which I picked up from LitkoAero. The spot behind her will be taken up with a pack mule from MegaMinis. These mules come 4 to a blister for around $10 USD. The yellow color is from a Canadian company that was around in the mid-90s. It has lasted a long time as it is in a dropper bottle. It's coverage is pretty phenomenal and it goes easily over black and can cover in one coat. The remainder of the paints I used were from the Reaper MasterSeries Paint line. I heartily recommend that line to any gamer/collector/hobbyist. I used the rosy skin triad for the face/hands/uh... you get it. I still need to work on getting my paint on the face smoothly and the blending is a little rough on her face. She is, however, a gaming figure and more than meets tabletop quality....
