Title: Anyone used the warlord indians as plains indians yet?
Post by: The_Wisecrack on June 05, 2013, 03:01:33 PM: was wondering if anyone has any links to any good examples of the warlord games woodland Indians used and plains Indians?

thanks

If you can put up with the cost of postage, no reason to not go straight for `em. :)

As for the woodland indians - I think you'd struggle. The costume is wrong to my eyes. They might work for some of the 'Eastern' tribes which were moved to Indian Territory, as I've seen pictures of them wearing 'woodland indian' style clothes around the time of the civil war...

Hey Nick - have any comparison pics? If I was to do plains wars I'd really be interested in Conquest stuff. However doesn't sound like they'd mix well with BS.

Not a chance, the BS stuff will tower over the Conquest figures.

They fit in fine alongside Foundry and Artizan, but are as Nick says quite slight, slender figures.

I do not, but I know I have seen comparison photos on the net. Height wise, they will mix with Artizan, Foundry, even Old Glory, but style wise, they are quite different. They are properly proportioned figures with in scale weapons.
