James Morris,

Sorry for the belated reply but no, sadly I do not have any pics. The Eureka Tlingits are great figures though, I enjoyed painting them.

I still have them - someplace - but I have moved on quite some time ago to other projects.

Those 28mm Tlingits in this thread look great too! Their raids would make excellent skirmish games.

Thank you, no worries.  It’s easy to forget that not very long ago we didn’t photograph every game!

I’ve ordered enough Tlingit now to do a warband for Muskets and Tomahawks.  I need to have a think about good 28mm figures for them to raid.  Aleuts or other Northwest Indians would be good.

That’s a great picture - thank you. Never heard of Campaigns magazine. When was it around?

back in the1970;s and  1980;s it was either a 2 part or three part series w/ color plates. I think STP out of russia makes Russians suitable ..like from Suvarovs era late 1790;s.your paint jobs are awesome.I'll post a picture of  a sample cover..I don;t know which had the articles..I;ll check to see if I can find it.

Campaigns : wow. Talk about a blast from the past...

I'll show my age by stating I have the first 32 issues neatly stored in my magazines collection. Had a quick look at them but couldn't find the piece on the Tlingit : either it was in the only missing issue in my little collection (n° 26) or it was published post issue 32.

Found it : the piece was published in issues 47 and 48, which I do not own.

Wow, thanks! Are the illustrations that have been posted above from these magazines, do you think?

As far as other native American opponents, what about the Paymaster Games range? I'm not much of an expert, so I don't know how accurate their minis are. Some obviously veer pretty far into the realm of fantasy and mythology, but some appear to be pretty grounded.

Yes, they are 28mm.  I looked at them last year but was unsure.  There are some superb character models but the warriors and spear men packs just seem to be the same bodies with separate arms and there are insufficient pictures for me to take a punt on them.

It would be super to get some Kwakiutl or Aleuts to fight my Tlingit but I’m not sure these are them.  Maybe I should email to ask for further photos.

Unfortunately I don't own any yet, and have pretty much been in the same camp as James Morris re: better photos of the warriors.

Only tangentially related, but if playing fantasy games in the setting appeals, I do think that their monsters are excellent-looking models.
