Galloping Major Kickstarter: "Compagnies Franches de la Marine"

[Galloping Major]

I'm almost ready to press the button on the new Kickstarter (our second) for the FIW range, so it should be up and running in the next few days.


Here are the first 2 figures for the Campagnies Franches de la Marine I've painted, these will be for pack FIW FCF1 in Canadian/outpost dress and bonnet.
The initial release will also comprise
FIW FCF2 in Canadian/outpost dress and tuque.
FIW FCF3 command in Canadian/outpost.
FIW FCF4 in veste and bonnet.
FIW FCF5 in veste and chapeau.
FIW FCF6 command in veste.
FIW FCF7 in veste and mitasses.
These will represent La Marine serving in their "light infantry" role.

Here's hoping this Kickstarter goes down as well as the Redcoats one did

They look up to your usual standard, I probably won't back the kickstarter as I don't field large forces but I will certainly be back for a pack or more when they are released.

Thanks chaps, more soon. 

Just a word about the colour I've painted the shirts: I was originally thinking white which no doubt would be equally valid, but when I read a quote that they were issued 'brown' linen shirts (actually raw linen, not dyed brown) I thought I would paint the soldiers shirts in the sallow tones of raw linen. I'm told raw linen will eventually wash out to white, but the raw linen shirts I have remain this sort of colour after lots of washing, the white bleached linen ones I have stay very white - I think I'll paint the officers in Canadian dress with white shirts. I think either white or raw linen would work equally well 

Cheers,
Lance

Lance, are you planning to any of the CFdlM in their waistcoats? It's one of my favourite looks for them in the all Blue.

Also we will need two standard bearers for them

Yes mate, they're the ones in vestes  I've got some under way but haven't finished the sculpts yet

Here are 3 from pack FIW FCF2 in tuques, red or blue knitted hats. I like the idea of using the different headwear to differentiate between sub-units, although they could just as well be mixed in together

Lovely. 

I agree about units by hat colour. It works very well in our M&T games

[Dr DeAth]

I'm in.

Thanks Black Burt, and no problem
