At present the plan is to produce 16 individual pony riding Comanche warriors each with a dismounted version, followed by some early Texas Rangers. ;)

As for rules I'm going to run a taster game at BLAM with my Conquest Comanche using Legends of the Old West. Not ideal rules, but they'll do for starters. Gary was doing a mod of M&T for plains wars. Will have a chat with him at BLAM to see how it's coming along.

The figures will be aimed at the early conflicts with Mexico and Texas. So the figures will be armed with traditional weapons (bows, lances, clubs etc) and some flintlock muskets, rifles and early Colt revolvers.
Thry'll do from 1800 up until 1870s. Only the Colt revolver armed figures will make them 1840 onwards.

I will have to look at more of those pictures & start working on the scenery,
now where did I leave that box of cork bark?

Great! Then we can send them against the Spanish in the late 18th century ;) maybe also some Soldados de Cuera in the pipeline?
Title: Re: Comanches anyone?
Post by: Malamute on September 08, 2017, 07:59:13 PM: Yes to the former, the latter unlikely. You could use the Presidiales as proxies.
Title: Re: Comanches anyone?
Post by: Yankeepedlar01 on September 08, 2017, 08:02:14 PM: Why not make an alternate weapon arm for several figures to spread the period feel without figure duplication?

Post by: zippyfusenet on September 09, 2017, 03:11:15 AM: ...maybe also some Soldados de Cuera in the pipeline?

Although they're not listed, mounted and dismounted Cueros, large 25mm figs, very compatible with Conquest, originally released by London War Room, are currently available from Dayton Painting Consortium. If you email them, I'm sure they'll be happy to put an order together. Although DPC have no UK distributor, their prices are so modest that even trans-Atlantic postage should be bearable:

Uh, why, yes, I am friends with the DPC guys...

Post by: axabrax on January 29, 2018, 04:18:52 PM: Presumably they will be done by your same brilliant sculptor as for the rest of the Boothill range? If so, they are must-buys for me. Willing to sign up for the entire range TODAY :D . Cheers
