 I was idly browsing the Plains War figures... (actually looking for possible 'proxy' figs for something else!)... when I realised that there are NO 'Indians' with 'Bow & Arrow'! Surely a 'Must'?  :)
There is a kneeling bowman in the Aztec range, but...

So, maybe a Brave bowman on foot... (but, more like what I was searching for)... a mounted  Brave shooting bow.... PREFERABLY bare chested and with no fancy Head-dress, hair in a plait down back... ?  :D

(Ok, I confess!  :o I was sort of looking for 'Dothraki Screamers' ! lol. No 'plans' for a GOT project... but just looking at possible proxy figs. There IS a thread elsewhere where someone was amassing GOT force lists... but I was idly  browsing for myself).  ;)

Yeah, I had the same thought a few years ago, decided the existing figures were not suitable :(

Dunno. If someone was happy for VERY 'proxy' forces,... and had the time and patience for weapon change / etc., there IS scope. This IS 10mm...and armies would not be 'competition standard', but...

Mounted Plains Indian with Tomahawk... very fiddly weapon conversion to 'Arrak'... but a similar Bow armed fig  def needed for Dothraki!
Other figs 'might do'...with cutting and shield additions as appropriate!
Samurai for Lannister inf... etc.  LOADS of figs are 'possibles' for the various forces... iF someone really wanted to have a go!

In 10mm, it would be the 'paint job'... overall 'effect', that COULD work pretty well.

LOL! Seen the price for FOUR 'Dothraki Screamers' in 28mm ? !!!   :o ;D
