HAPPY NEW YEAR - MORE WILD WEST



I hope everyone had a great break over the holidays and I am hoping everyone has a safe and prosperous New Year 2015 filled full of hobby related fun.*raises a beer in the air*

As you all know I haven't done much on the blog for about a year or so, which of course doesn't mean that I haven't been busy painting and terrain making, so I guess I am saying that I'm back and eager to get stuck back into the blogging side of things this year.

I think in Feb of 2014 I got the Wild West bug back again and painted another ten or so Wild West miniatures and did some work on a Wild West town, three of which I have on display for you today, the first two guys going left to right will be another two Pinkerton guys specializing in the field of personnel protection, being hired as body guards for a Saloon owner or maybe a town banker, the last guy on the right is the first of many town folk who will inhabit my slowly growing but small Wild West town, which can be seen in the back ground, more on the town in another post.

That is it for this time around, coming up next I have Old West Celebrities.

I love Wild West games - what rules are you using (or going to use)?

The Extraordinarii said...

@Vampifan- Thanks and I still have lots to paint.

@Shelldrake- Hi Shelldrake, I want to try a few different rule sets, RWNN (Rules with no name), Gutshot, Boothill and various others....

Great looking Westerners, that's a big piece of terrain too. Best to you for 2015!

@Irqan- Cheers mate, a Pint of beer, BBQ some pig over an open fire.... Yeah

@DeanM- Thanks, all the best to you too.

Shelldrake said...

How many of the rules you mentioned you want to try do you have?

I have the three you mentioned, as well as one or two others floating around somewhere, and I can do a review of them if you are wondering what they are like.

The Extraordinarii said...

@Shelldrake- I only have Boothill at the moment, and any reviews that you would like to do would be very helpful.

Here is a couple of posts on 'Gutshot' that I made on my blog to kick things off for you:
