A long-awaited plastic set is going to be making its way to Kickstarter soon via the folks at Great Escape Games. The US Cavalry will be popping up for use in Dead Man's Hand and beyond in 28mm scale.

This set of dismounted US Cavalry will feature two frames. Each frame will allow you to make five plastic miniatures with options for arming them with carbines and revolvers. You'll also get parts to make an Officer and they even included a trademark Beagle!

The sprue shot that we have here shows off the array of different components available on the sprue for you to play around with. You have a great selection of heads to choose from, plus the torsos and legs are separate, so that you can mix and match the figures into a selection of different poses.

This should be another great plastic kit for you to play around with, especially when you use it alongside the existing plastic sets for Dead Man's Hand. You'll also note that the set comes with heads, allowing you to make Native Americans fighting alongside the US Cavalry and the "Buffalo Soldiers" of the period.

The Kickstarter will allow you to get the US Cavalry in December, ahead of the full release in January 2026. This dismounted set will also be joined by a mounted set later next year.

What do you make of another plastic set for Dead Man's Hand?
