Hello everyone, just popping in to spread the word that we are finally expanding our range of miniatures to better cover the North American theaters!

First up, is our unit of Coureur des Bois. You can see them here:
https://www.firelockgames.com/product/coureurs-des-bois/

Second, we have launched 3 Firestarters (our unit based crowd funding program) to cover some other units for the range. Braves, Indian Fighters, and Canadian Militia. You can find those here:

If these fund, I’ve got the green light to continue expanding the range, which I am excited to do!

Sounds interesting as 17th century colonial North America is  main period of interest but would like to see more than one sculpt,even a sketch would be ok.

Very nice images and wonderful to see expansion of this North American genre. These are tempting. It is too bad the figs run noticably taller than many 28mm out there. I had looked at some of the Blood & Plunder Natives to supplement Seminioles for gaming conflicts in coastal Florida and ended up not making the buy because of the size difference. May have to do another side by side comparioson if this range keep growing.

Yes I agree about the size difference.I collect the Flint and Feather range and I think the difference would be noticeable.The F&F range is more early 17th cen. while these are late 17th/early 18th cen.so I might collect these   as a different project. :D

We will be updating the project with painted models and more sculpts as we progress. In other news, for those in Europe, Gaming Figures will be participating in the Firestarter as well, so you can order from there to avoid high shipping fees!

I have the Coureur des Bois pre-ordered and once I get them I will decide whether to order their Firestarter sets.If they expand this range I will be more apt to purchase this range as I don't want just one set of each type.Would like to see more sculpts.
