I did as you suggested and the whole plume lit up like a christmas tree, so I assume that means all those vertices are unassigned.
Sooo... Now I am assuming that I stay under that tab, take those selected vertices and assign them to the head bone (making a logical deduction here... hopefully).
Let me know if I am on the right track, in the mean time I am going to try my proposed solution.
Aaack, learning this model stuff can be a humbling experience...
Most of my mistakes seem to be "duh" ones...
Edit:
The problem goes deeper than I thought. I assigned the crest to the head bone, but the soldiers are still appearing the same way. Also, the plume is appearing on all the helmets, which this probably goes back to some kind of group comment or something. I can post the model somewhere if you have time to look at it.
