It is great fun, is it not, to resurrect old minis and also to use existing troops in a different way AND to buy and paint new ones!
My mostly nekkid Comanchge will do double duty as Cheyenne and Lakota, etc.
But I will be painting a bunch of Sioux in shirts to add to the horde. I have an stl of Sioux, one of those assemble yourself sets with bodies and heads etc, which I enjoy putting together.
I have limbers and guns and crews, and also lots of infantry and some cavalry, from ACW, which will be converted or smply used as close-enough. They are the "resurrected" part.
BUT I now have the stls of Knuckleduster's Hollywood cavalry,, troopers and command, horse and foot, and shall have 20 t0 40 of each as soon as grandson does the printing.
And the painting goes really fast now with the markers.
Life is good.
