Title: Indian Scouts
Post by: Hu Rhu on October 15, 2016, 05:59:55 PM: Anyone know who makes Indian Scouts in 28mm, preferably matching Foundry miniatures. I am looking for a few indians with a coat and/or hat that will look like Crow indians or similar, to act as scouts for the Army. Need both mounted and dismounted figures.

It's from Old Glory and you get both the foot and mounted version

Post by: Mason on October 15, 2016, 07:46:39 PM: I stuck a couple of hats on the Galloping Major Apache and reckon they would work well as Scouts with a more appropriate colour scheme..
Fairly easy to convert to mounted versions given their poses.

The DMH offerings are spot on for Scouts, I reckon, but would be harder to convert to mounted.

Of course, you could just add hats to the Foundry offerings.....

Post by: Cory on October 16, 2016, 12:50:32 AM: I would go with a mix of old west figs and add green stuff braids and maybe a feather in a hat band. The Crow flaunted their ties to the white community in their wars with the tribes they saw as invaders and the real enemies. Western wear was a staple from the 1860s on for them. Just remember no facial hair.

Post by: Malamute on October 16, 2016, 08:32:04 AM: Dixon Miniatures do a kneeling Crow scout in scak coat armed with a Springfield carbine copied straight from one of the Osprey books.

He is a good fit for the Foundry figures.

I converted a mounted OG Indian to match him.

If you want me to do some Greenstuff work on anything suitable just let me know. ;)

Post by: Hu Rhu on October 16, 2016, 03:30:33 PM: Thanks for all the responses. It seems there are plenty of potentials for dismounted but not many mounted options.

Post by: Ray Earle on October 16, 2016, 11:05:58 PM: Foundry do a pack of Delaware Indians both foot and mounted in sack coats, leggings and hats. With a minimal amount of work I would have thought they'd be your best bet. :)

Yup, there's a pack of three (ahem) but it doesn't appear to be on the site. A phone call or e-mail should sort that though. ;)

Are these the ~~droids~~ Scouts that you are looking for?

Post by: Malamute on October 17, 2016, 02:01:13 PM: They look perfect. Its amazing what stuff is available at the Foundry and not on their website. ::)
Title: Re: Indian Scouts
Post by: Hu Rhu on October 17, 2016, 02:24:02 PM: They are perfect, thanks everyone for tracking them down. I will drop Foundry an email and see if I can't order them. A change of the odd weapon or two and a good paint job will produce exactly what I'm after.

Post by: Galloping Major on October 18, 2016, 07:29:54 AM: Foundry also did a pack of 6 dismounted Delawares, 3 being versions of these mounted ones. You may be able to get those too. :)
