Hit the wrong button.This is in 19th cen. |
Oh Bugger | 11 Oct 2016 1:25 p.m. PST |
QRF for 15mm certainly and people say good things about the Minifigs one too. |

Blue Moon has some gorgeous 18mm stuff including a Last Stand vignette. link |
Extra Crispy | 11 Oct 2016 1:59 p.m. PST |
I have Friekorps/QRF, Peter Pig, Minifigs and Blue Moon. Some people get anal about mixing but no tme, I like the variety… |

Foundry has a fine personality set, with both mounted and dismounted figures for the same person. This is for both Cheyenne and 7th Cav. |

I'd go Blue Moon in 15/18mm. The Newline Design figs look cool too, but they are 20mm I believe. |
abelp01 | 11 Oct 2016 3:02 p.m. PST |
Believe it or not Dixon 25mm are lovely! |

The best were the old Bugle and Guidon range. They did the same sculpts in both 30 mm and 54 mm. Spectacular figures. Good luck finding them. |

POTN had a nice range of US Cavalry, mounted and dismounted. More in scale with today's figures and not the smaller true 25mm most of the other ranges were. The horses were the best I did, used Bryer horse models for inspiration. Sold in 2000. The current I owner will have to hawk it's own wares, if they are still available |

I have some 30mm Bugle & Guidon figures, they are beautiful. Old Glory does a great Cluster and staff set as well as a last stand set. |

I just, well over the past 7 or 8 months, bought a boatload of Foundry. Pretty much every pose, Mtd & dismounted & some of them 2 or 3 of each pose. Most from TMP & Ebay. GREAT figs. The best IMHO. I also got dead horses & dead & wounded from Old Glory. Now, I gotta paint about 300 mounted & dismounted! |
nevinsrip | 11 Oct 2016 3:59 p.m. PST |
cavcrazy, I have the entire 54 mm line, including Tom and Boston Custer. I have a few doubles. Shoot me a PM if interested |
War In 15MM | 11 Oct 2016 6:39 p.m. PST |
I put my 15mm collection together more than a decade ago. At that time there weren't many great figures for that period. I used Essex and Old Gory 15mm ACW for my cavalry. For my Indians I used mainly Yellow Ribbon and Minifig. The Minifig mounted Indians are beautiful. If I was putting a collection together today, I would build it around the Blue Moon 15mm figures. You can see my collection in diorama form at link |

RAFM has 25mm at 25% off right now. |
martin goddard | 11 Oct 2016 11:45 p.m. PST |
Consider the peter Pig range which has the Indians tents and civilians too. The figures are shown clearly in photographs on the PP website. martin

Hovels also has a small Pony Wars range in 15mm. True 15mm, far too small to mix with most other ranges. link |
bc1745 | 12 Oct 2016 4:59 a.m. PST |
Britannia has a range complete with personalities in 28mm link Chris |
Ney Ney | 12 Oct 2016 12:52 p.m. PST |
I never new there was such variety of people making them! |
LAP1954 | 12 Oct 2016 6:28 p.m. PST |
Got some 20mm from Newline Design. |

Old West and Pony Wars are one of the premium 'niche' periods – right there with 'colonials'. I'm like ExtraCrispy every manufacturer except the one I think too crude to bother with (but you might think otherwise so I refrain from naming). All in 15mm and 18mm. And don't forget to look in collateral ranges – Blue Moon's Napoleonic generic wagons offer up some items not found in other places. |
GeoffQRF | 16 Oct 2016 6:05 a.m. PST |
The Freikorps (QRF) range are 15mm, and extensive for both Native American and US cavalry ranges, including wagons, tents and buffalo |
