Friend asked me to do his Pony Wars kit now that Baccus have taken it over.
Started off with the two bags of Native mounted figures. Over 200 of them!
72 in the first three bases of 24s.

The rules suggest bases of up to 50! I went for breakable multiples such as 24.

Wow, that looks great. The mass of swirling natives really looks impressive. Very nice job. I've been tempted by that range from Baccus. The Pony Wars rulebook looks tempting too. Maybe I will invest in Plains Wars project one day.
They look really effective Will. =D> =D>
Great work in all those painting updates that you have posted today :-bd
Looks like your daughter has inherited your painting skill too...those models she has done are very good.
Those look really cool! 8)
Love the first few photo's bases and miniatures - they, especially, look great.
Will there be a herd of thousands of buffalo, painted next? :D
Inspirational stuff!
I backed the rulebook eons ago and only recently got around to buying all the required figures from Baccus - a daunting pile of lead...
My wife has stepped up and said she will paint them all! Her first foray into 6mm after only previously painting figures for D&D (28mm).
Cant wait to see your take on the US cavalry.
Mounted US troopers for Keith.

That is a lot more small figures to add to the already large collection!
That's a lot of figures!
I really like how you done the smoke signal vingettes and the red horse and black bird (crow?) designs on the teepees. :-bd
