Can anyone suggest miniatures for Metis for the Reil rebellion of 1885
They look rather like Boers in buckskin.
I was thinking of using Perry`s upcoming plastic Zulu war British for Canadians. |

Previouly posted on TMPTMP link A Manitoban blogger suggests RAFM for Riel, Dumont and Poundmaker link And the Hudson Bay Co blanket is a standout. From contemporary pictures, a ragged mix of cold weather cowboys and Indians and armed Victorians. btw there is a big statue of Riel (not Reil) at the back of the Manitoba Legislature and his grave is just across the river in the grounds of the Catholic Cathedral. |

There are some in the Tiger Miniatures Mounties range that will work. Although I do not have any miniatures from this company I suspect they might not match size-wise with RAFM. |
