1st Goumier Rifle Platoon
I`ve decided to build my Goumier Tabor (Battalion) along the standard lines of Charles Grant`s classic "Battle" rules.
So a company will be made up of three 10-figure platoons. Eventually the various platoons will be a mixture of figures from all the available types, but in this painting phase of the project I`m just doing batches of 10 or so at a time.
Two figures from Shellhole Scenics pack FRE5
8 Raventhorpe Goumier (Pack SPEC25)
All together
Very nice. I recall there are (were?) other Goumiers out there in 20mm scale. I have a pack in my lead mountain somewhere - they’re styled for the Italian campaign. I think, but can’t be 100%, that they were Drew’s Militia. Good luck tracking them down though…

Cheers Geoff, Andrew (Drew of Drew`s Militia) sculpted for Battlefield Miniatures and his Goumier were released under their "Blitz" label before Stuart became ill and the company went into stasis - a great shame :( I have a plan to write an article on building a Goumier Tabor (Battalion) for a wargames table in 20mm using any and all figures available. Unfortunately I have to return to Wales for a month or so, so this is on hold until I get back.
DeleteLooping forward to that article - take your time. Regards, Pat
