Bought a bunch of the old LWR ones from the owner of the molds/rights for some skirmish gaming not too long ago.

After thinking about this for awhile would like to see both
mounted and dismounted in the same pack.
Say two Cav. figures on horses and the same figures dismounted.
I would be more likely to purchased them that way.
Also, please include Buffalo soldiers.

Yes more native Americans of all kinds. And I would love to see some Buffalo soldiers.

I went for the 'might buy some' option. In 28mm, and reasonably easy to purchase in one bundle, I could be tempted for more cavalry. There is a shortage of good variety IMO, more in scale with say Artizan figures would suit me nicely. I don't own any Indians, I just like the soldiers :)

That said, as a window shopper there is a definite lack of indians of all periods of conflict.

I would certainly be interested in a wider range of indians especially Sioux, Arapaho, Cheyenne etc

This would be applicable for many Indian nations (Apaches fought on foot whenever possible but rode to and from when they could acquire the horses,  Comanches fought on foot only if absolutely necessary.)

I like the idea of mounted and foot in the same pack. But as I hinted at earlier Sioux, Cheyenne would be good plus Apache.

I don't care for the sculpts and likely wouldn't purchase any...but I'm always happy to see more Old West options.  The minis look a bit too...1980's Airfix plastics for me.   :-I

I don't like those either, much too toy soldier. However they are only for reference I believe, they won't be copied for the 28mm stuff. Otherwise I won't be buying either.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Another vote for Buffalo Soldiers cavalry and infantry. Other tribes are also welcome.

I voted for the I might buy option as I bought the Foundry range when they first came out and have still not painted them. I think I would want more Indians when I get around to doing that project.
