All,
Does anyone in the US produce 28-30 skraelings?

Try Eureka or Foundry for King Philip's War figures. Obviously no muskets.

No one in the states that I am aware of.

Footsore makes a small line of them.

I just remembered that Badger Games carries Pontoonier Miniatures, and Pontoonier has Skraelings in their Dark Age line.

Until we know better, which I don't think we ever will, I would go with Woodland Indians with "Mohawk" hair, although that's not certain, bows and melee weapons. Stone axes, clubs, spears, etc, but no muskets obviously.
Google "gunstock war club" to see if they're appropriate. "Gunstock" is a misnomer.
There's probably an appropriate plastic kit too.

Probably any figures without muskets might be okay.

Honestly, I'm looking to use them as picts in Conan's world.

Be sure to tell us what shade of blue you paint them… ;-)

Well done, Nick. That is why I was researching what was out there a few years ago.

Try Eureka or Foundry for King Philip's War figures.

As regards Foundry, they do have a small range called Early American Indians. Three packs of six figures each, and some of these carry muskets. Link:

In that case, would Aztecs also work? Not the fancy suit bearers, but the ordinary warriors wearing loin clothes. Check e.g. this figures on the Foundry website:

For a different type of stone age dwellers, Copplestone range for Lost Worlds contains cavemen (and women!) and Amazonian indians:

There's probably an appropriate plastic kit too.

For New England natives, Wargames Factory released a plastic set as part of their AWI range. This is now sold by Warlord Games in their own packacing as Woodland Indian Tribes. They come with quite a lot of muskets, but also more primitive weapons. Link:

Wargames Atlantic makes plastic Aztecs, though 2/3 of the figures are wearing something more substantial than just loin cloth:

Speaking of Wargames Atlantic, they also produce Irish warriors that might be of some use, though maybe not quite wild enough for what you are looking:

The Picts in Conan's world are early Woodland Indians without feathers.
