"Gringo40s: Cherokee Eye Candy" Topic

He looks great. So do the rest.
I have some Blood and Plunder METAL Indians in loincloths. I have used them in battle as Mosquito Indians. Sadly, they seem to have discontinued all their metal lines in favor of %*ۥ* plastic. Grumble. Grumble.
If you don't mind, I mean if it won't affect the Balance of the Universe, and if it's allowed, I think that your Cherokee would jolly well fill my Mosquito expansion needs. 😄🙄
Particularly since both ranges come in on the high side of 28mm+.
👍
I'm sure I can come up with blowgun factors. I've been at this for a while.

Hi John appreciate the kind comments…it was and effective
weapon..when hunting game the cherokees wore a mask similar to the animal they were hunting…clever stuf..one with nature and twice as deadly!!

@John

My first thought too. I too have closed the book on Firelock over their metal betrayal.

I'm happy to see another company taking up the mantle of producing "native Americans" figures. Back when I was 10yo, I heard some elderly aunts discussing that we weren't 100% Irish. There may have been a French Canadian in the woodpile. 60 years later, that implies to me that maybe there is a Magua Or Chingachgook somewhere too. 1/128! Not enough to open a casino, sadly.

Eric Roof's Conquest line is still produced by Warlord, but nothing new has come out lately.
Your figures are continuing that great tradition. The more new and different nations, the better.
Still need a Wes Studi "Toughest Pawnee", though. I'm stuck with one that comes "pretty close, but no cigar".

Have you thought of Alaska Tlingit, wearing wooden armor? With totem poles and Russians to fight too.

thanks John for all your support with
my American Indians…The cherokees
themselves are a fascinating tribe..
with their own alphabet..some fascinating
Leaders..wondeful towns as it were…Actually
i believe Wes Studi was Cherokee..and gave a
speech at one of the Oscars.in that language
cheers Ged gringo40s.com

DeToqueviille points out that while northern tribes were pushed west and so destroyed, the southern tribes, and especially the Cherokee, were SQUEEZED because the Spanish and French had already taken the Mississippi line to their west, so the pressure of Europeans was coming from several directions. So there was extensive intermarriage, one reason for the Cherokee rapid development. By the 1830s their main leaders were 6/8 or 7/8 white. (Which of course was a main fissure in their culture, as the "Traditionals" resented the rich guys like James Vance and John Ross who were basically southern planters and slaveowners.
