Kit Foxes Warrior Society-Yellow Ribbon

 

This is my penultimate Warrior Society.  All from Minifigs.

I have painted these as Northern Cheyenne.  That means lots of buckskins.  The Southern Cheyenne used a lot more cloth for leggings and such like.

I have been fairly sparing of using full feather head dresses.  These tended to be the province of truly renowned warriors.  Red Cloud's son Jack Red Cloud borrowed his father's war bonnet and rifle and headed out with the lads to teach Crook what day it was. In reality Jack was just a boy.

The war bonnet attracted the Crow. Promptly, they unhorsed young Jack. He made a run for it. They caught him and whipped him, took his rifle and the war bonnet. They insulted him as an impostor.  Specifically, they mocked him for leaving his bridle on his horse. a thing that no true warrior would ever do.  Jack's bridle was ornamented with Silver Dollars. The Crow took that too.  Jack begged the Crow to either stop insulting him or to kill him.  They did neither.  Duty called elsewhere and  Jack lived to a ripe old age.

Above, the Kit Foxes out for Lunch. Big Buffalo QRF, little ones Peter Pig and Irregular.

Some Packers out of luck with the Kit Foxes. I have about 18 warriors on foot left to paint and then it is project work done. Project play can then begin. 

Next time on the Plains we will see my Indian Village.  However, next week we are returning to the Punjab as another project comes to fruition.
