Options for specific Plains Indian tribes?
« on: September 21, 2018, 06:06:10 AM »
Hello Folks,

I was wondering if people had any views on whether the Dracula's American Plains Indians and Dead Mans Hand Plains Indians were particularly suited to portraying a specific tribe/tribes? Or are they Hollywood generic? Clearco's thread on sculpting various Indian tribes has left me thinking about portraying specific tribes with my figures...!

(I remember reading that the Foundry "Plains Indians" are based off the Cheyenne, whilst Conquest/Warlord are labelled Commanche, with a couple of Sioux Characters. )

Pictures included for ease of reference

I would say the ones from Dracula's America are rather generic and the ones from Dead Man's Hand are generic AND a bit hollywoodesque IMHO :)

Like you said, the Foundry ones portrait very well southern Cheyenne. The Warlord ones are nice Commanche + Gall and Crazy Horse of the Lakota as characters (who where separated when they were part of Conquest Miniatures)
