FIW...Project Now with Pictures - The British

[Lowtardog]

I blame Paleskin and No Name Ramierez (gutted as sold off all my indians and french last year ..but needs must at the time)

So I hae the northstar indians winging their way to me and some Galloping Major Provincials.

Muskets and Tomahawks on its way too.

Now as usual looking to expand,

I fancy the Redoubt Highlanders (ike the look of them) as conquest will be too small to fit. Northstar look ok but something doesnt quite hit the button for me, I thnk it may be because I fancy units in march attack for the ambush factor ...Is it worth taking a punt on the Perry highlanders? I know AWI but look close enough, would they be too small to go with Northstar?

For Regular Brits possibly Crusader as I think the Redoubt are big and chunky from memory.

What are the Blue Moon ones like I have only ever seen their enamel! painted ones, never any in a persons collection

Anyone out there worth considering as now I flogged all my conquest minis dont fancy trying to match again unless the Conquest are good to go with northstar minis


Thanks all in advance from a lasped lead addict

If you fancy the Crusader Brits and French I have the unbased and unplanted lead 

I've also got a fair bit of surplus painted stuff - including conquest Indians and French irregulars - as I've moved onto other things .....  Painting quality of some of it is a bit iffy as it was my early period

Certainly interested in the unpainted Crusader Brits mate    Let me know what you have and we could sort out your lead pile

I will alert Paleskin to the froggie types however warning he is the equivalent to a Bazaar merchant when it comes to the haggle

I'm certainly going to go with Perrys Highlanders for my FIW, over Old Glory (bit grim and slight) Northstar (I don't need 30 odd for M&T) and Galloping Major (close call but don't want cocked bonnets, and didn't like the mounted officer's horse); they are certainly close enough to FIW uniforms, and indistinguishable if you paint 'em right. I would go with the ones with the plain "floppy" bonnets though, rather than the cocked versions.

Cheers Karl

 Have been out but just got back - will sort through tomorrow and reply to your pm then 

[Paleskin]

Well?
Sorted yet?

[Galloping Major]

I'm looking forward to seeing the results - Provincials are on their way

Actually took photos, started last October but just edging past a basic game level, still another 72 regulars and around 20 indians to finish megalomania

[Paleskin]

Bloody hell that's a lot of Brits!

Better get some more garlic boys to take them on!

[Hu Rhu]

Excellent figures.

[Galloping Major]

Great work there

The temptation is to buy more and have eyes on the non-unformed galloping major milita, however I have another 72 Brits to paint, no longer a skirmish force really....to my shame

[Driscoles]

Very nice. Maybe one more highlich on the base ?
