French Indian War - Colonial Rogers Rangers



Welcome my lovely's back to my dark corner of the interwebs for some for some more FIW.

Just a smallish update as I finished off a group of Colonial Rangers and Officer from Front Rank (Love their FIW and SYW ranges and many more too come).


You may have noticed that I have changed my basing style for this project as I just wasn't happy with my first try.

Now I'm much happier and seems to work, though having to go back and change all the Sabots and bases on everyone took a good evenings work.

Hope you agree it was worth it.



Rather cool note though is while I was delving for information about Provincial Rangers units that opperated with Rogers Colonial Rangers I came across a Unit called ''Danks Rangers'' who were a vile bunch of people known to scalp anything they could to claim a few coins and as the name suggests they were led by Benoni Danks.



My surname is Danks so I'm claiming a loose connection and must now have a unit of those in my army. Though I'm having a hard time tracking down what their uniform was (All I could find is one set of pictures from a reenactor group for an early war uniform).



Up next it's time for some French while I have think about what to do next for the British or source figures in the case of Danks Rangers.

Well that's your lot and thanks for looking B's and G's.
