I blame Paleskin and No Name Ramierez ;D (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 ;D...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 :D

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 ..... :D Painting quality of some of it is a bit iffy as it was my early period lol

Certainly interested in the unpainted Crusader Brits mate :D 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.

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 :D
-
Very nice. Maybe one more highlich on the base ?

Yeah you are right, I normally base with a more ocre colour but Paleskin did his Brown so wanted to match. I used a dark brown with an earth dry brush but it didnt quite look right so put a wash on it which seems to have flattened it out.
