Just on the Blue Moon page and the Northwest Frontier figures are going up. Pathans, Gurkas, Indian troops and Afgahn regulars.

can always use more Pathans.

I swear that I'm going to end up with 3-4 thousand!

Holy Joe Smith but Blue Moon are prolific. Has anyone used their figs single based for TSATF? They are lovely but I'm afraid they might be too small and fiddly.

I have French and Indian War, Texas War for Independence, and Darkest Africa figures from Blue Moon. I base them all on #10 washers and I don't find them fiddly. They work fine for TSAF and will be very reasonably priced if you get the army-builder card.

Was going to say that most of my 15mm stuff is singlebased on steel washers of some kind, and some magnetic sabot bases.

I prefer the better stability of a 1/8x3/4" fender washer, but that spaces them too far apart for Colonial gaming. It's fine for moderns or cavalry, but not ranked infantry. A #10 washer is 1/2" in diameter, and is what I've been using for my colonials.

I used number # 10 washers and custom made movement trays that I cast out of resin. The bottom of the trays are sheet plastic with magnets drilled in the holes. Washers and magnets are easy to get in large quantity on line. If you have trouble finding the sites here are the links. I bought 5000 #10 washers for $23.00 USD with free shipping and 300 magnets for $8 USD bucks.

Magnets:

And here are some shots of what my stuff looks like.

Thanks!

@Mingans Marauders: Very nice!

@Madmike62: Thank you for bumping this. Looks like Blue Moon is going to be a very good source for finishing out my NWF forces.

Yes, the figures in this range are generally very good, although the shields on the swordsmen do look rather large, and lack the multiple bosses usually seen on such equipment.
