In theory that set should be available from Warlord as well.

 

I'm thinking that the Woodland Indian Tribes box is probably the Wargames Factory set.  I was surprised not to see it under "Mythic Americas" but it's under US War of Independence.

Warlord bought out Wargames Factory several years ago, like three to five years ago. They are *slowly* releasing all the Wargames Factory sets. Honestly, I don't know why it's taking them so long. I wrote them a letter about it, and the response was something like, we'll get around to it.

This is veering slightly off topic but the guy that bought the WF sci-fi and WW2 (or maybe it was just the WW2 stuff from WF) stuff wrote about how it wasn't as easy to make money as you would think even after the molds were payed for.  I guess the economical batch to get done in China took quite a while to sell through.  Didn't really make sense to me at the time.

Tom Meier has some old sculpts under his Thunderbolt Mt brand, which is now being sold by Ral Partha Legends. Only 2 indigenous sculpts, both have a single musket (one firing, one using a sling with the rifle in the off-hand), and a few colonials. 1/48 scale, so they're larger than the 28mm stuff he usually likes.

 

Not a whole lot, but it's one of the best sculptors of all time, so...

You are correct. It is the Wargames Factory set.

I am working on a Christian Cameron Red Knight project but also interested in French Indian wars. 

 

Do people know please of a range of Eastern native Americans, 18th century or earlier, that:

 

Don't have many or any guns

And

Are 'larger scale'? They don't need to be GW scale but not really small 'true 28mm'.

 

I think Warlord Games and Flint and Feather would be out for that reason but would be happy to be proved wrong. 

 

Any and all advice welcome, thank you 

 

Are you looking for miniatures that match the Thunderbolt Mountain 35mm French and Indian War natives? Frankly you are up against a double whammy there. The larger scale makes it hard, and the quality of Tom Meier sculpts is also hard to match. My suggestion is to drop down to the regular 28mm scale and maybe use the oversized figures as 'larger than life' hero minis

This would be to go with Perry miniature and claymore Castings historicals. The warlord games ones are a bit too slight, and because they would be for a fantasy (basically 15th century) setting they couldn't have guns. The books are a lot of fun and you can tell the author is a gamer and reenactor
