Looking for some native american (tribe doesn't matter at this point really) modeled with rifles/muskets or pistols instead of bows/etc. I could convert things, but really looking for models already sculpted as intended that way. Apache, Navajo, Mohawk. Just not seeing any really out there.
-
What scale? Foundry have some very nice Apache and plains tribes with various weapons (especially the Apache!).
-
Dixon and Old Glory in 28mm would be two companies.
I would say that any company that does Indian Wars will
have warriors armed with rifles. Pistols not so much.
-
For Mohawk, Perry or Warlord/Conquest do great figures. Plenty of muskets. Someone I’m sure does Navajo but buggered if I remember who.
-
You could try the Northstar Miniatures, Draculas America, Skinwalker sets, One of the sets has no bows they are all pistols or rifles. the other set has pistols and rifles and one bow.
-
Artizan - Apache with rifles
Foundry - Plains tribes, Apache & Black foot, with mixed weapons including fire arms
Warlord - Seminoles, Mowhawk & other woodland peoples with assorted muskets, Comanche packs including some with fire arms

What was said above, but add-in Clearco. I ordered some of his packs and they are wonderful figures.
Here is a LAF thread about his American Indians...

Knuckleduster does a pack or Plains Warriors, of which 3 of the 6 have firearms.
-
Mohawk, Huron and Stockbridge Mohican in the Galloping Major FIW range.
First pack of Apache in The Western Range :)

Great Escape Games/ Dead Mans Hand have a set of Renegade Indians (pistol and rifle armed).

Black Scorpion has some. This pack of four are all carrying firearms:

He has a couple of other Indian packs in his Tombstone range, but I think the above is the only one where all the figures have a rifle or pistol.

I think every company that does French & Indian Wars miniatures does the Indians primarily with muskets. When I was building units, I had to scrounge to find ones to put together second tier units with bows. (Finally went with Old Glory, and replaced the lead spaghetti bows with brass wire.)

I agree Cat, not many FIW about with bows, we have just one pack currently: FIW MOH5

Eureka miniatures do "Powhatan warrior with musket." 6 variants, so you do get some variety.
-
If you have access to a 3d printer 3D Breed just released a Kickstarter called Join or Die Wanted a wild west collection. Some of the Sioux models have rifles and pistols. They come both mounted and on foot. They are nominally 32mm but you can easily scale them to match your existing collection.

The models will likely show up on their website for purchase soon.

In "The Western Range" from Galloping Major, the first pack of dismounted Apache Warriors are all armed with firearms: three with trapdoor Springfield Carbines and one with a Richards breech loading conversion of an 1860 Army Colt.
