Does anyone know of a company that makes 15mm Buffalo Soldiers? (Negro cavalry figures – mounted and dismounted for the old west) |

Peter Pig has figures that will represent them just fine. At that size the facial features would do fine for various races. The PP figures are clean shaven, which might the criterion you are focusing on? link 25 individual sculpts. includes Crow scouts and wagons too. If you are also gaming the theatre, then WESTERN rues by PP cover those actions historically accurately as well. |

QRF has a pack of mounted Buffalo Soldiers. I agree that in this scale it does not matter -- just paint what skin tone you want. |

Thank you guys! I have a bunch of blue moon cavalry and indian and just had some apaches painted up so I was looking for buffalo soldiers to represent historically the 9th and 10th cav they were. |

The best sculptors can render distinctive racial features even in 15mm. For instance, have a look at the Essex Sudan Campaign Egyptian gendarmerie figure's unmistakably African face. And then there's the hair, which should obviously look woolly; that's where the epithet originated, after all. |
