The Unofficial Painting Guide to Gnome America

After the American Uncivil War of 1836 and the Great 19th Century Expansion of Gnome America, I figured it would be a good idea to compile these new countries plus what figures and color schemes to use.


Rule 0 of the Gazetteer:  Regardless of the ethnicity of the country, Swiss gnomes are acceptable "default" figures for militia units.  Consider the Swiss pointed hat as a culturally acceptable fashion the whole world over. 


Any suggestions and revisions are welcome.  Please let me know!


Northerners (Mercantile Union)
Figures: Northern Infantry and Cavalry
Color Scheme: Any American (Union) theme stretching out to the conclusion of the Indian Wars




Southerners (Confederate Sovereign States)
Figures: Southern Infantry and Cavalry
Color Scheme: Any Confederate theme.
The Republic of Furmont
Figures:    Swiss Gnomes and British Marines
