What is the firearm the jolly tars are portrayed with? It almost looks like a rifle with a percussion lock...

Based upon the 1839 Tower conversion percussion musket. First percussion musket issued to HM forces.

Ah, thank you

Pretty much rules them out as companions for my Brigade Napoleonic British tars though...

Re exotic skirmish gaming, when I saw these figures, I thought about the episode in "Flashman's Lady" where Flashman and James Brooke, the White Rajah of Sarawak fight the River pirates. Still one of the most exciting Flashman battles I have read.

hint, hint.....

Me too. Stamp and slash...

Superb! These look just the ticket for battling Dayaks or surpressing slavery in West Africa. Top marks Empress!

Well, I went and ordered some figures yesterday.
They were to nice to resist.
Now I will see how long it takes to get them to Oregon, USA.
No pressure, Empress.

The pressure will be, how long will it take me to paint them.

I can think of no better company to produce a "Rajah Brooke" range to supplement the limited number of 28mm dyaks etc already available - including a Flashman/Elspeth/"Soloman Haslam" character pack, of course...

Another HINT HINT...

Incredible...so (mind blanking) what were some good conflicts going on around the time frame? Do these match up with your NZ wars stuff?

Perfect for pushing narcotics on the Chinese (Opium Wars). West Africa Slavery Patrols etc.

Because these are broadly suitable for the late 1820s through to the late 1840s they could be used any number of smaller conflicts like the British occupation of Aden, Piracy patrols in the South China Sea, the first Burma War, various Cape conflicts etc, etc, etc. Very useful figures and you could supplement them with various Napoleonic ranges.

If both ranges are sculpted by Paul Hicks, presumably these can be mixed and matched with the Mutineer Miniatures IM range. That would give more civilians and Indian troop types.

Very nice as one has to come to expect from Mr. Hicks.

Isn't Mike Owen the sculptor of the Mutineer Miniatures range?
