These look excellent, they would be great additions to a TYW army.

Just curious why they are only available for a limited time though?

The French are the first set we will be producing for the Flint and Feather Contact 28mm Tabletop Skirmish game. Many of our customers have been waiting for these figures for some time so we are releasing one pack as a promotion and to provide these great customers with the ability to get some of the figures.

We will be running a Kickstarter for the game including a Rulebook, and figures for French, English and Dutch. So the figures will reappear at that time which will probably be next year before they are actually available.
Here are the figures that are available at this time.

We are trying to get thru our Black Sun Kickstarter first and then run into the Contact Kickstarter. The thinking here is that we will have our work set for the rest of the year that way. So I would suggest the fall at this point in time.
The rules have already been playtested. They are just getting finished up. The system works right into the Flint and Feather rule set but with enough differences to introduce the alternate style of fighting of the Europeans in the New World.
We are looking forward to seeing the completed Dutch and English, Bob has been researching the period extensively to give the figures the proper feel.

We will be releasing some of the Contact rules, in order to allow you all to play the French in Flint and Feather, as a PDF on the website, on or about June 24. Keep an eye out for that.
It will include a scenario, The French Attack the Iroquois. Some French soldiers support their Huron allies in an assault on an Iroquois village.

That sounds good in the fall.I'm cutting back my collecting big time as I'm retiring (hopefully) in less than 2 years.I actually had all the F&F figures 2-3 years ago but sold them and regretted it afterwoods. Now this is all I'll be collecting  ::).The europeans is what got me interested again.I don't game but hope to make a large diorama in my free time.I do have all the figures again and the  book too to help support the range and because it's a beautiful book

 :o I've just noticed this thread!

Very interesting... These figures are from Bob Murch so I suppose they are consistent in size with his other productions...?

...which means they could be mixed with figures from the Foundry old "Sea Dogs and Adventurers" range, which I use for War of Religions 1590s skimishes and which are slightly bigger/chunkier that many other late 16th century figures.

From the left: TAG (the Sea Beggars are fractionally larger), Foundry Swashbuckler, Flint and Feather French, Col. Bill Border Reiver (Vendel fractionally smaller than these), Warlord, Antediluvian zombie, classic Citadel Empire on booster, Foundry Conquistador

Well we've had French, Dutch, English and Algonquian Indians confirmed - given the French are set to be 4 packs (Matchlockmen, Adventurers, Soldiers I & De Champlains Companions) I am guessing the other Europeans will be about that number too. I am sure I saw a throwaway comment about Spanish being a possibility in the future, so they might well be a 'long range' stretch goal.

The webstore also lists the following sets as 'not-yet-available', so I'd guess some or all will be coming in the KS as addons or goals:
66005- Iroquoian Villagers
66007- Woodland Forest Animals Box Set
66008- Iroquoian Longhouse
67021- Iroquoian Shaman
67022- Iroquoian Healers
67025-Iroquoian Witches
67024- The Stiff Legged Bear/ Mastodon
67026- Black Bears
67027- White Tail Deer
67028- Wolf Pack
67029- Eastern Cougars

I doubt there will be too much more ontop of all that...

The kickstarter will be next year, January (?) and will be both French and English along with buying the rulebook.
I wasn't clear on the rulebook. I am thinking a new edition that includes the Europeans? Otherwise I already have the
rulebook and don't need to buy another one. Can't wait for these figures!

Basically they decided that a smaller KS had a better chance of being funded and they want to get them out. Dutch and Algonquins will follow at a later date (or as a late tier stretch goal if things go well).
Extra packs (starting with woodland animals and  iroqoian villagers) will be unlocked as stretch goals, model by model

Thanks guys for keeping up the interest. Unfortunately the Dangerous Dames KS has soaked out Bob for the foreseeable future.
He is currently working on the English sculpts, as well as releasing some French Foriegn Legion. Those are thru Pulp Figures.
To answer some of your questions. He has started Algonquins, basically First Nations in more leathers and furs against the cold east coast weather.
He is also working on English.
The rulebook will be a supplement to Flint and Feather, you will be able to play standalone European forces against each other or use them in a Flint and Feather game. It will likely be a 72 page soft cover, very similar to our current Black Sun Rulebook.
Here is a video we have done about learning to play Flint and Feather. Please check out our Youtube channel which is Crucible Crush. https://youtu.be/1wYj_mRO-h8  (https://youtu.be/1wYj_mRO-h8)
This video is number one in a series. Turn Two is already in the can and we are working on the edits to complete the game.
We will have more information on the Kickstarter once Bob has finished his sculpting.

English musket men in home-made quilted armour for protection against arrows. The English for Flint And Feather Contact will tend to be more armoured than the French who did not antagonize their Native neighbours to the same extent (as a generality).

"Some of you have been asking after the Algonquin for Flint And Feather. Here is the first of them. I’m giving them a more hunting clothes look, buckskin, less ornamentation. Two sets are underway, bows and muckets but they aren’t the top priority at the moment as I need to prepare the English as much as possible in order to launch the Kickstarter."

...it's certainly been a while since the Contact kickstarter was mentioned. It sparked my interest, led to buying a  few figures to support it... bought a few more and a few more and then my interest wandered off. Now it's been so long my interest has started to wander back - although more tempted by King Phillip's War...

Both Bob and I have been in the industry since the 80's. That is 1980's. Our projects and interests go back a long time. We are also working on our own company and our projects won't end. For instance the rules for our project, Flint and Feather came to us in 2015, we are still working on new things for these rules. You can be assured that we will be around and working on these projects for the next twenty years.
For instance the current Flint and Feather project Contact will be for English, French and Algonquins. We are also aware that Dutch and Swedish can be included in this phase of the project. They will take another year or so to get to. We have also discussed doing a prequel which would cover Vikings in America. So I guess what I am trying to say is that we will be working on this project for a long time to come. Please join us and enjoy the ride!

I'll probably still be interested when the kickstarter starts.I hate to admit it but I've bought the range twice  :o lol .If I do get back into it  ;) I'll probably be more selective as I really don't need the spirit creatures or the canoes.One never knows what comes in this hobby.

Superb. I'm sharing the link. :)

Personally I'll be mostly interested by the European figures which BTW could as well (for most of them) do in Europe and are probably compatible with the (also quite large) Foundry range which I use for late 16th C. Wars of Religion in Brittany ...Um that's probably not what you wish to hear in this case, but that's why I'll back the KS.  ;)

We are now funded so all nine new packs are unlocked and available for a special price through the Kickstarter.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1313980061/flint-and-feather-contact/posts/3003458

If you only want packs of figures OR or if you want to add packs of figures to your Officer or Hero Pledge this listing is for you. You get to choose the packs you want, multiple this number by the $18cdn per pack. You can choose one pack, two packs, ten packs - as many as you like! Use this formula if you want multiple numbers of the same pack. This information will be gathered at the completion of the Kickstarter thru the Pledge Survey.

You are able to increase your pledge level to include any other packs that may be unlocked as stretch goals or Add-Ons throughout the campaign. As well, if you pledge over $125CDN you will receive access to any figures that open up as Stretch Goals plus one copy of the Special Edition Figure of Hendrick Wiltsie.

I tnink the stretch goal animals are free over 125 CAD - they will eventually be clumped into packs for purchase (at 18 CAD for I guess 5-7 critters). This includes the settler civilians.

The unlocked packs of figures (French adventurers, English sword and buckler men etc) are 18 CAD a pack.

Good morning. Having just binge-watched Barkskins ( yes I know it’s set about 70-80 years later than Flint and Feather) I am highly tempted. A few points of clarification if I may about the Kickstarter.

 (1) Do you need the original rule book to play this game or does “Flint and Feather; Contact” suffice?
 
 (2) If I pay in Canadian $ the book and models will both be shipped from UK and I pay UK shipping? I ask as I have recently been hit twice for bills of over £40 UK import duty bringing in stuff from across the Pond.

 Thanks.

I'm sure I read that pledges from Europe are fulfilled from the UK - Northstar I think - so no import costs.  (If I'm wrong I'm sure Bob will correct me.)  Personally, I'm already looking forward to receiving the figures.   :)
