Not my focus right now, but just got the Crusader FIW Indians in the post. Here's my first:

Liking these quite a bit. I just ordered the Northstar set as well; between these and the Skraelings I'm going to have so many goddam Indians it's insane.

I just can't get over the size of that Tomhawk. It's like he's going to chop down trees :/
