Very nice. The Wargames Atlantic horses look much better than I thought they would. It may be the dab hand that painted them but they do look good.

Likewise. I was 'dreading' them tbh - not a huge fan of plastic - but they went together well without the need to break out the filler. Just needed a quick run over with a sanding stick. However, the poses aren't quite right and the manes are very stylised. But, despite that, using them make sense, especially for a small manufacturer starting out; keeping sculpting and casting costs down (and postage for the punter).

They look great, figures and painting. Does seem like a good idea to use the WA horses.
Who sculpts the figures at Black Sheep? I checked the site and couldn't find it. Just wondering how they would fit with other Old West miniatures?

Apologies, mate, only just seen this.
Not sure who the pixel pusher is - they're digital sculpts - will try and find out.
Size wise they fit just fine with Artizan or the GE placcy ones.

Very nice painting.

I got the initial release to add to my Pulp Figures Mexican Revolution project, and while they are a bit less chonky than those, in general size and heft, they are a good match.
I think they might be a bit bulkier than the older Foundry Old West stuff, and very different in style to Dixon, though. But a lot of that could be compensated by a unifying painting style.
