Lon – who's the sculptor on these?
And can anyone do a comparison with Knuckleduster and/or Conquest? I've got LOTS of Knuckleduster for the Brits and Americans, and a small batch of Conquest Native American figures.
Thanks!

Not Conquest, but if you have them in comparison to others, this might help link |

I have the KD, Conquest, Warlord and Brigade Game Indians. The BG and WL castings are very similar with nice clean castings. KDs are about the same size as BG and WL but slightly thinner ….but not noticeably so. As you probably know, the Conquest Indians are slightly smaller but fit in fine with KD, WL and BG. The nice thing about the KD Indians is that they are modelled on the Grand River Nations and so fit precisely into the War of 1812 era. Also, KD have them both in winter and summer dress, plus leaders. I must admit I am partial to Paul Hick's sculpting and so am pleased with BGs offering. BG's figures are highly recommended. |

Yeah, I like the fact the Brigade Games figures are "shirted" rather than the bare-chested Conquest models which are BEAUTIFUL, but definitely look more "French/Indian Wars" or Colonial, than War of 1812. Nice to see an Indian Department Officer in the Brigade Games mix too! |

So these are definitely Northeast Woodland tribes, rather than Creek/Redsticks/Seminole for Florida? |

Seminoles and creeks commonly wore turbans. |

Warlord and Conquest are the same.Warlord bought the rights to produce Conquest under their banner.

So can these without the Indian Department officer fit into either the FIW or AWI? And that would be both packs I am asking about. |

From Wikipedia -which is what I call research… 
The Indian Department
This consisted of 100 officers, whose purpose was to act as agents, envoys or interpreters to the various Native tribes and nations (nowadays referred to in Canada as First Nations). Many of its personnel took part in actions in which the peoples to whom they were attached participated. They were supposed to wear full dress in action, to prevent their being mistaken for Americans by excited warriors (or being taken for "blue-eyed Indians", renegades and rogue fur traders, by American soldiers). Indian Department officers were indeed often of mixed Native and European ancestry. Some claimed to speak little or no English. The most well known victory won by Natives fighting directly under British command was the Battle of Beaver Dams in 1813.
Interpreter, Indian Department, 1812-1815 Officers and interpreters of the British Indian Department in Canada were often found in action with warriors during the War of 1812, the most famous instance being possibly at Beaver Dams in June 1813. At that time, the department's uniform scarlet was faced with green. Interpreters, not being commisioned officers, did not have epaulettes. |
