into the Wild West

-

 back in December 2023 i was gifted with a set of miniatures from
the Zombicide: Undead or Alive board game.
which is a wild west theme this time around.

these figures are really sculpted well and made of good plastic.
i will mainly use these for Fistful of Lead: Wild West game,
which means some i will have to clip and convert.

these are the first miniatures i've done and not used the Citadel Nuln Oil Gloss
since pretty much Games Workshop discontinued it.
but i wanted to try something else.
i want to have them look like the gritty and dirty as they were back then in the 1800's.
i'll spray them with a varnish to protect the paint so maybe
they'll get a gloss somewhat.


the first batch i got based and completed.
most likely i'll keep the names of the characters from the Zombicide game for any
future Fistful of Lead game battle reports.

these are part of my 3mm base collection so they'll fit with the zombies i did
awhile back and some aliens i want to do in the future.
i'm dreaming of Cowboys vs. Aliens!!


armed townsfolk, Carl and Jeb


dangerous gunslinger from the south, Pablito


some locals Turner and Jimmy


Turner and Jimmy have Pablito cornered,
waiting for the sheriff to arrive.

more to come...

    Those paint-jobs are first-class, and really help bring the figures to life. I didn't get into the Wild West Zombicide, but I might now keep my eye out for a starter set at the shows I plan to visit post Summer. Great work and a nice write-up.

      thank you, i found this new painting technique called slapchop.
      i might do a post about it. its really neat i think but in a way i'm not doing it properly.
      i've been on ebay looking at character pieces i currently don't have, maybe you can find some good deals there.

still plugging away at the mess of undead miniatures i still have. these skeletons are from the Undead Encounter pack from Mantic Games. i went with a simple color scheme, i didn't want to spend a lot of time on them. the so called leader of the group. with the simple color and shading these came out nicely. i might go back and retouch the eyes, maybe add a green glow or redness in the eye sockets. rest of the group. way these came out i might purchase another pack of these, add more to the more ranks. Beholder Zombie. this fellow was fun to paint. cannot wait to unleash this on my D&D group. (insert evil laugh here) Crawling Claws. wanted to make some low CR creatures for this weekend's game, and since the group is heading to a den of evil what better way than this. made from dismembered hands from an old GW zombie plastic set. last year i came across some board games called Dark World, and the miniatures were pretty cool to use elsewhere in my table top games. so i used t...

for the Lord of Wolf, for Russ!

ever since my last game of 40k Kill Team with my buddy Jayson, i've been thinking on a second team for the game. lots of ideas were swirling in my head. and i narrowed it down to the faction i always wanted ever since i first started playing 40k back in 2nd edition. the honorable and ferocious Space Wolves. with all the new material coming out for 9th edition and what has been out already i have to say i am disappointed on how much character the new Primaris space marines lack. i mean yeah there's the upgrade packs you could get but still there isn't much to separate one group of Primaris marines from another of a different chapter except shoulder pads. so deciding on this i went with the classic look of the Space Wolves. but with that also there is only a few units and not much i can use if i do a non-Primaris Kill Team. and with these marine i also tried the Citadel Colour Contrast paints. and i have to say i like them very much. very easy...
