This second batch of mounted warriors is the last for now as I´ve run out of figures for this group. Most of the figures and horses are very old GIANT figures. Even if these figures are not up to nowadays standards they can be painted in a colorful way and look nice on the table or on the shelves. Also one Atlantic stand was added and can be seen at the back but that was covered in part 1 of this series.
In this stand the GIANT horses can be seen with their legs shortened and their bellies filled with hot glue. The figure firing a rifle is Revell. Even if with only 3 poses of the Sioux and Cheyenne and one pose of horse the stands can be quite colorful and diverse with the introduction of a different figure and some sort of individul painting to each model. Another thing that helps diversity is the fact that the Plains Indians horses had many colors.
The horses both to the left and right are Atlantic from the Greek cavalry. These are ideal models for the Plains Indians as they have no harness or cloth on the back.
The War Bonnets (AKA Eagle Feather Headdresses) are the trademark of highly respected Indians, not only chiefs, but also warriors that accomplished great deeds. Their usage in combat was obviously rare but even so they look great as miniature models.
Next: foot Indian warriors
