The below named figures are either all painted or in process of being painted for me (the Mexicans) except for the two last named legends which I need to prep and paint. There are 60 mounted/foot/dead characters and six foot/dead only characters though three of those have an 'assigned' mule. Naturally, all of these figures can be assigned differently in varied scenarios. Also, unlikely they will all appear in a single game together.

Sorted and ready to be worked on once some standing and dead horses arrive - which are on their way to me through the mail already - are the following:

The Zuya Sunka War Party of the Winyan Wowapĩ Warrior Society of the Fuh-qahr-wii sept of the Lakota nation:
Six bands of six warriors each to honor the six sacred directions of the Lakota - other tribes being absent, the Northern Cheyenne fill in the sixth band

Oglala - south
Takoda Buffalo Knapper Dancing Bear
Laughing Wolf Stinking Farts * Willow Tall Tree

Rabbit Runs Sneaky Fox Puzzled Panther
Still need to make some decisions and do some sorting on Apaches - and villagers for both the Lakota and the Apache. The warriors need to be, at least mostly, mounted/foot/dead though some could be just foot/dead.
Another need is to sort out some scouts for US Cavalry - and maybe some mountain men. Perhaps some of these figures can do double duty as either scouts or mountain men.
Already have plenty of figures, just need to do the sorting.
And part of what is on its way to me are some additional unarmed civilians as well as some armed civilians (both men and women) to add that element to the invidually based element of my Old West collection. For the armed, will be foot/dead sets; for the unarmed, will be so many foot per dead figure - but not one-for-one. There are certain scenarios in my future where such figures will be necessary.
As a for instance, for the Battle of Whiskey Hills (the namesake for this blog) from the movie Hallelujah Trail requires my variation of the Denver Free Militia - which will be the Anachronism Free Militia. Have those figures as well though may need to resort on the dead a bit. I just seem to have a great need/desire to have lots of casualty figures for this set up.
The year 2025 will continue to see more Old West figures painted, more wagons painted, more wild life painted and lots of buildings painted. Or so is the hope.
An 'ultimate goal' is to have all of the named figures whether mounted/foot/dead, foot/dead, or some-many-foot/only-so-many-dead to be 100% unique figures - but I will, if necessary, compromise a bit and go with different paint jobs if I can't get all the way there on the unique sculpts. To get there may require dropping out some already painted figures and replacing them with owned but not yet painted figures. I guess it might be better termed a hoped for goal than an ultimate one.
And, courtesy of a LAF post, in future, I will do some minor modifications of dead figures to better represent female casualties, simple use of white glue soaked bits of tissue paper to create skirts/dresses.
