Working on some Lakota figures.
What kind of figures would you like/need for your game? I know what I need, but I would like to address other needs as well.

Will this be a warrior set or a camp set? Or will you be doing both?

Hmm, how a bout a set that is half 7th cavalry and half Apache. Or a full set of each with a layer of mounted figs.
A Good the Bad and Ugly inspired set? Blondie, Angel eyes, and Tuco with a scattering of mexicans and hired guns.
A saloon fight set, figures fist fighting or using bottles and chairs as weapons with bartender, saloon girls and piano player guy.
Stagecoach set, with set of separate passengers and driver.
Western wildlife set, mountain lion, bear, wolves, rattlesnake, wild horses, cattle and sheep
Rail workers set, Rail Baron and his hired guns and chinese workers.
Crazy Petes prospector set, prospectors, mules, boxes of TNT

Crazy Petes prospector set, prospectors, mules, boxes of TNT I agree with and also request all of the above. |

Some good suggestions there.
I'm debating if I should just open things up a bit and have a more generic "plains natives" set... The battle of Little Bighorn was a joint effort between the Northern Cheyenne, Arapho and Lakota people.
I'm aiming at the 1870s historically.
I'm not sure I will have a village as part of the bonus material. It depends if the mounted figures are part of the main set or not.
I am considering making it a double set with mounted and unmounted figures (2 pages of main figures) and in that case i would probably include a village for the bonus material.
Any preferences or input?

It sounds like you have a good grasp on the plan.
Any chance for a page of buffalo? My thought is that just doing the same page over and over could create a gigantic herd. Individuality is not a consideration when there are a hundred of them or more.

Or even as just an obstacle between where you are and where you want to be. I just think they would be extremely useful and fit in with the period.

I've just found this game:  It could be the right time to buy your Western minis (no way i'll buy real miniatures, when we have paper minis soo cool). I should check if your sets contains a right figure for the game characters... ( hint! hint!  ;D ) |

I decided to go for a more generic Plains Nations approach instead of a different set for each nation. It kind of makes sense as in the battle of Little Bighorn the native forces were made up of a combined force of Lakota, Northern Cheyenne and Arapho. Attachments:

Today was test build day and I caught a few major flubs that I missed early on so it was also a day of playing "catch up". Just set me back a day or two. Hopefully the bonus layers will come together quickly over the next couple of days. Attachments:

Working in layers means multiple colours and swap as you go mix and match warpaint layers. Attachments:

Really a great set, David. As always.
And a very beautiful and useful extra set bonus. Thamls very much.
But there is a mounted warrior on the cover. And I can not find him.
I hope that this figure will be in a next set full of mounted warriors. ;D
Thanks again.

Hi Dave! I'm resurrecting this old thread because.... well.... I know you all artists make a living on commissions.... anyway, if you think you need to do something different, or are looking for some new character.... whatever.... i want to humbly suggest to take a look at this characters.   This is Tex Willer and his gang (his son Kit Willer, the good ol' Kit Carson -not the "famous" one- and his Navajo pard Tiger Jack). It is one of the most famous comics here. It's more than 60 years old, and stills sells around 200K copies each month (this could seem a small number, but Italy is different from US and Canada). Well.... just to say |

Ah, very cool. I don't think I could do a Tex Willer set, per se, but it looks like the 50s cowboys I came across in my research for the old sets. I have a set of cowboys with rifles I want to put out soon. Could be fun to put some of this kind of thing in there with that set. Thanks for the heads up!
200k is a huge number. Most US comics don't sell that much a month (we're talking Marvel and DC here). Canada is also a small country (population wise). We only have 1/10 the population of the US.

I have a set of cowboys with rifles I want to put out soon. Could be fun to put some of this kind of thing in there with that set. Thanks for the heads up! Yeah! I did'nt meant a specific set... i'll be really happy if you'll add 4 figures that looks alike on your next set So these are great news! -edit- being them all handling a rifle in the two pictures is just a chance. Usually the only one always having it is the Navajo. The others are famous for shooting with two colts -and ever hitting the target  -. 200k is a huge number. Most US comics don't sell that much a month (we're talking Marvel and DC here). Canada is also a small country (population wise). We only have 1/10 the population of the US. mmh.... It's a known fact that Tex alone allow the editor to produce other comics with other characters (which, with a couple of exceptions, had a much shorter lifespan). Also, there's no other editor able to produce a comic in the same format (# of pages and size) for the same price. So, here in Italy it always seems to me that we're still in the "a-comic-is-not-art-just-a-kid-toy" era, so i tought that in the US (wich i perceive like the "heaven" of comics as art -i mean, no less than a book-) and Canada there was a bigger market. Sorry for the OT |
