Warlord Releasing new F&IW Stuff
« on: March 29, 2019, 07:21:10 AM »
Looked about but couldn't find this, warlord doing some new F&IW minis, not my personal era but God-awfully tempting, I wonder what other neglected ranges will get some love? A nice wee break from ww2 planes and ships.

Noticed that myself - great artwork on that box. I'm not sure if they're new figures, or reboxed Conquest figures though.

Might be packaged oddly  - 12 minis is two skirmisher units for R&P and/or Sharp Practice, but if it's 11 figures and one wolf, they a spare Ranger would be needed.

New (almost 100% certain), I had briefly thought about collecting a little while back and they were not available.

Not sure about the wolf, the warlord games 95th rifles are packaged (paraphrasing here) as 16 miniatures and a dog if that helps.

I really liked the old Conquest games miniatures. I wonder how these will compare.

My favourite FIW range are Galloping Major and they'll need to be really good to replace those in my affections!

Oh that would be great. Got my eye on these, might resurrect my FIW project. Again.

Worth noting that around 1/3 of the officers and NCOs were Regulars transferred from British Line units for training and acclimatisation.  The majority of these men were rotated in order to introduce skirmishing experience throughout the Crown forces - this paid off in both the F&IW and later in Pontiac's Rebellion.
No plan survives first contact with the dice.

The Amerindian figure in the advert looks like its the 2nd from right in this pack. But the other chap appears to be new... So maybe a mixture of new, old and possibly some "tweaked"/"re-mastered"/"tampered with" old figures??

Just got my first warlord membership email, it shows the minis in the new pack, 11 guys and a wolf im afraid.

While it says no sharing codes/offers which is fair, not sure if a simple pic would hurt.

These are reboxed ex-Conquest miniatures.
"The enemy? His sense of duty was no less than yours, I deem. You wonder what his name is, where he came from. And if he was really evil at heart. What lies or threats led him on this long march from home. If he would not rather have stayed there ... in peace. War will make corpses of us all."

I think a couple are new, but the rest you are correct, are just reboxed colonial rangers with better paint jobs.
