happy new year everyone. WGF have just released the first images of their new set: Native Americans which can be used throughout the 17th through 19th century (in some cases you will want to keep the muskets out)

One of them's wielding a lightsaber o_o
They look useful for conversion possibilities though.
cheers

They look nice albeit a bit fiddly. Looks like only one is in a firing position so apart from all the yipping and yelling the skirmish line is pretty weak ;)
-
Given the hassle finding Native Americans without muskets, these are a welcome addition!
-
There look to be 2 firing arms.
Some of the poses look good, but quite a few still look rather goofy (the high stepping guy, and the double-handed axes), which is often a bit of a problem with WF plastics.
But its a new range for plastics which is always good.
-
Very nice indeed. I for one am impressed with Wargames Factory, they have improved with each set they release and I reckon they can hold their heads high in the market these days. Excellent value too. Top marks from me.

I'm eyeing these to kit bash PA minis.

My thoughts exactly. I actually quite like them.

Cheap...plastic...heaps of bits. Yep, I'm in. Heck I may even try to pass some of these off in the Old West (or at least steal a bunch of bits and do some kit-bashing with them).
There is some silliness there as with all plastic kits it seems...but I'm pretty pleased. Would like to see closer pics of the minis --- particularly with good paint.
-
It's great to see how the company have reinvented themselves. These look ver nice :)
-
Well, although there are a couple of awkwardly assembled miniatures there, I think that this is a fantastic looking set, well proportioned, with carful assembly nd painting I think these would be top notch. I also like the basket hilted claymore, I think it's the kind of highly prize weapon that would have sometimes been captured or traded. Plus you would not need to feel you had to use everything just because it's in the set

Front rank do some with bow and war club, but they scale big as I bought some to use alongside gw miniatures.

they're out now: http://www.wargamesfactory.com/webstore/horse-and-musket/woodland-indians
some more excellent pictures. I ordered 3 boxes :-* lol
-
They do look so good, really tempted, even though I don't game anything in this period.
-
I have them in my grubby paws muhaha. they are as good as they look :-*
-
I'm currently trying to think what I want them for :)
Had a look at the sprues the other day, very nice. Also for those not wanting the traditional weapons, there are enough guns on the sprue to arm them all that way. The claymore is a great piece, not sure why it's so bright in their paint job...

The first image they released was digitally painted, whoever did it didn't have a silver metal swatch in Photoshop :)

I have to try that... Might be a whole lot quicker! ;)

Lol, I can believe that :D

This is a joke right?

They definitely do some of their colours in Photoshop. If you compare the AWI British and Continentals pictures on the box backs, the main pic is identical even down to the flock on the bases. They've just changed the colour of the coats.
-
I think that I am goiing to have to build a tribe of these fo my collection.

Nope, if they're in a hurry for box art they digitally paint the renders.
Of course when the figures are cast they sent them to me right away for actual painting.
