Title: Native American figures in the "larger 28-32" scale range
Post by: Hupp n at em on May 24, 2017, 03:15:19 PM
Hey all,  any recommendations of ranges out there that have Plains Indians or Apache that would roughly match Black Scorpion and the larger Knuckleduster line in size?  I thought Foundry and some of the other ranges had them, but at the smaller end of 28mm ("true 28").  Thanks!

We have just one pack of 4 dismounted Apaches, though more will follow along with mounted versions:
(http://www.gallopingmajorwargames.com/userimages/Apache1.jpg)
The contents of the first pack of 4 dismounted Apaches. The one on the left brandishes a Richards conversion (to brass cased ammunition) 1860 Army Colt and a lethal stone headed club. These Apache clubs were a clever bit of stone-age technology which had the stone head 'free-floating' from the wooden shaft, the whole being wrapped in rawhide shrunk to fit to give extra impetus to the blow. The other 3 are armed with 1873 army Springfield carbines, 2 carry revolvers in holsters, all have knives. Three of these wear waistcoats (vests) and shirts and pants - which were usually white long under-draws - beneath their breech clouts. The other (3rd from left, is bare-legged and wears shirt and breech-clout only. To use any of these as army scouts, paint their head-cloth red, although dedicated army scouts will be added later. There were occasions when more Apache scouts were in the field in pursuit of 'renegades' than regular soldiers.

The Blind Beggar Apache are made to fit in with the Galloping Major (above) and the original Black Scorpion range.

Here are a couple with GM Apache*.....

I shall sort out some pictures later that show both ranges alongside Black Scorpion and other manufacturers.

*and a gate-crashing Captain Mancave....

Why is it that everybody makes Apaches, why no proper plains Indians!?

You ask why?
I can only answer for myself, but Apaches fit into my more arid and Southern, 'Hollywood'-style setting is why.

They fit the 'renegade' look that I want for my own games.

What about the wargames factory woodland Indians?  pretty sure you could do something with them in terms of clothing and armaments?

Pulp miniatures have a range of early woodland Indians some of which are open handed so could accept rifles etc
