Colonial Rangers for FIW

An 8 man unit of the famous green coated Roger's Rangers

Presenting my newly completed Colonial Rangers for use with Muskets and Tomahawks/ Sharpe Practice 2. Figs are all Northstar from the British Wilderness Force boiled set which I picked up at Fall-In last year. Now at last they are ready to take to the table and tackle Alan's Courier des Bois!

An 8 man unit of Goreham's Rangers, led by an Officer.

I wanted a bit of uniformity but with lots of variation to reflect the irregular nature of these woodsmen come soldiers.  So I did them up as two different 8 man units: Roger's Rangers and Goreham's Rangers, plus an Officer from Roger's as well.  I really liked the variations between the figures which goes them nice individuality while also blending into an irregular styled unit.

In their natural element, stalking the dastardly French!

Thanks to my friend Ken who hand made the tufts I used in basing these figs - cheers mate!

I'm now working on the last six figs from the boxed set, which are Mohawk Allies.  I've got my eye on a unit of Provincial Infantry after that, or maybe some Regular Light Infantry.

Notes on colours:

Roger's Rangers - base coat colour is GW Salamander Green, bonnets Vallejo Prussian Blue
Goreham's Rangers - base coat GW XV-88, facing GW Blood Red

And for our northern hemisphere friends who are starting to feel the cold, just wanted to let you know that its getting lovely and warm down here :-)

Whats not to love about Oktoberfest season? Prost!
