You want them, without knowing what they are? Do you know something the rest of us don't?

What if they are Caribs and Arawaks? (something I'd like, but I don't suppose others would)

Karl (Lowtardog) would be a better one to ask, but here are some pictures:









Not much clothing to sculpt. Regular troops wear headbands with the higher ups sporting fancier headdresses (see picture #2). Some minor body painting and tattoos, most of which is on the face.

Weapons consist of bows and macanas. Macanas are simple maquahuitls but with sharpened wooden edges instead of obsidian flakes edges. Think of a baseball or cricket bat with sharpened edges. Usually made of chontal or ironwood. Hopefully Karl will chime in with additions and corrections to what I've said. I'm also not sure if there are distinguishing features to tell Caribs and Arawaks apart.

A modern site so perhaps the natives are a little more modest

Heath is still best for line drwaings though from a sculpting perspective

Very much so

[Bowman]

And as Lowtardogs second last picture shows, make sure you add some mean looking European dogs (Spanish Mastiffs) to chew up your nice native sculpts. (Ouch!)

[gringo]

indeed Bowman...tough pouches are a must........

been searching high and low for information on the dogs used
in the Mesoamerican world by the Spanish and have opted for
the chuncky mastiff type...seen some described as having red
hair and coal black eyes..formidable in size and strenght.
quite important this as i would like to get this right..not to
forget the dog owner who will have to a grizzled character.
did consider a dwarf with attitude! all info/pics welcome
on your idea on the dogs.its been muted before but woth the effort

Aye Spanish Mastiff, obviously this one below is current so the breeding may have changed its look by now



However they also used Wolf hounds so you could go that way too
