New 28mm Jacobite Rebellion Miniatures (Kickstarter Live)

Sorry I’m late. He is a superb figure. Hugely tempting! But I must resist.

Resistance is futile.

Nearly there gents, only £643 to go. Even a low level pledge for 20 figures would give you a great skirmish force and you can work in Seven Years War British as proxy Government forces, so all those who game 7YW, French Indian War or indeed earlier can push back to the 1715 rising (just add in some of the Warlord sword and shield chaps/ Lochaber axes etc)

In looking at the figures on offer also don`t discount the lovely line drawings of the lowland Scots, both highlanders and lowlanders fought on both sides and not all were uniformed militia 

Finally I want to see the Royal Ecosaiss too, French in Scots Service or dastardly plot for your games for the French to have a reason to invade England, the old enemy  .

Perhaps a lost or wrecked troop ship leaves French Re-enforcements or  Scots fugitives marooned on the English coast. Can the locals rush to defend their shores, claim the booty or are there sympathisers to the Jacobite cause

Go on you know you want to!

Well, its the first kickstarter i support.
So lets see it done.

Brian Blesset as Mark of Cornwall in Arthur of the Britons (Oliver Tobias was Arthur) Great for skirmish games.

Yes I remember that now. Great stuff

I had a telephone conversation with Oliver Tobias the other day.

That is a cosmic sign you must pledge

Last thing I need is a whole new period with a whole new bunch of figures to not paint. 


Though if it were the '89 or the '15 (and both sides) I might be sorely tempted; because while I'm not really all that interested in battles, a Rob Roy skirmish game would be a lot harder to resist.

[rumacara]

A Rob Roy project is exactly my goal.
So stop the talk and help the man.
A 30 GBP help on 20 figures is a good start...

[GamesPoet]

And for a 60 pound pledge a person could get one each of the Highlander packs, plus one each of the lowlander packs, and then add in 2 more packs of whatever they'd like.  And then there is the Bonnie Prince figure given to anyone who pledges, and that figure is looking very good!

This campaign lost a backer, and then it picked up another 5 or 6.  Only about $600 (445 pounds) more to go, so this one could happen!

[has.been]

Someone has pushed the wrong calculator button. $600 = £825 ?!!!!

A short guide to painting tartan.

We are nearly over the line with 9 days to go and hopefully, this will show a few that it's not as scary as you think painting tartan.

uh-oh I completely forgot Highlanders wore tartans . Oh well I suppose I would have to learn to paint them eventually anyway...

[has.been]

Vodkafan! You mean you haven't got Humbrol No. 111 (Tartan paint)?

They've got a page up on painting tartan ...

Also, they've gotten past the pledge level for folks pledging 60 pounds or more to receive a complimentary John Roy Stuart figure.

With 7 days to go, here's hoping enough can be pledged to have the Royal Ecossais Command pack available.
