The second three bow-armed Mohawk are pictured on the Studio page. The pack of 6 will be released as soon as production castings are ready.
This new pack of warriors will provide an extra weaponry variant for the French & Indian War and also be suitable to represent earlier generations of "woodland warfare" in North America.

They are great Lance

Approximately what date do you anticipate that the pack of six, bow-armed Mohawks will be available for order Lance? 

Will that release coincide with the sailors being ready to ship?  If so I would like to add those new Mohawks to my sailors pre-order.

Thanks.

Thanks chaps,

ffrum - I can't say for sure yet on release date, but they will probably be just ahead of the sailors

What about the promised ladies - well, may be not all *that* ladylike?

What abbout the promised ladies - well, may be not all *that* ladylike? 

I know abdul, I need time to get back to the ladies 
After the first batch of sailors are out the main emphasis in my FIW sculpting must be on getting the first releases of British regulars and Compagnies Franches moved along; I'll try to fit in a few ladies on the side - oo-er

Great news, hopefully by the time they are released I will have enough space on my painting table to accommodate them

Excellent

Thanks chaps 

I thought I would just inject a bit of colour into this thread with a picture of some of my painted figures from earlier released French forces: Canadian militia and Huron Allies:


Cheers,

Lovely brushwork on these Lance

Nice! Stuff is looking better and better. In what capacity would the sailors show up during the French Indian War? I don't recall coming across that many naval battles or coastal raids, or are they meant for other theaters?

Thanks Axabrax  

Not a lot of naval engagements in the usual sense, but shore parties from Monongahela to Quebec and beyond, lots of potential for involvement with sloops etc used on the Great Lakes and the more navigable waterways. A couple examples are the contingent from HMS Norwich under Lt Spendlowe with Braddock and the Royal Navy's ongoing involvement in the Lake George-Lake Champlain corridor from 1757. Royal Navy detachments have been used in lieu of or to support the regular army in all sorts of climates and theatres over the centuries, lots of scope for using them  
I'll certainly be using them in coastal raids (real or imaginary) as well as for taking on the enemy and assisting with transport on land and water.
For me they add even more variety to a period with variety of participants in heaps.
Of course, I won't be restricting their use to North America in the FIW, there's loads of other potential for them too.  
I hope that helps start a few ideas going
