Do cowboy wars have UK/European distribustion?
-
Binman,
I have spoken to a guy at Old Glory UK (who's name I cannot unfortunately remember) and at the time he was happy to add some of these to his order from the states. Cannot remember P&P charges etc but I do remember it seemed pretty fair. All old stockists I've found are down to a few random packs so for full choice contact OGUK and they should be able to help.
Cholly
(let us know what the results are as there are still a couple of packs I'm after)
-
Cholly, what would you consider to be 'must have' packs from that range?
-
The European hunter packs are really awesome. Dont forget that Andy at OGUK have this buy 6 pay for 5 offer.
-
Now thats a tricky one, and will depend on what you're trying to acheive. For me, I'm a bit of a stickler for WYSIWYG so some packs are out of the running due to weapons mismatch between the mounted and on-foot versions but the one's I'm after include Ranchers Posse 2, the cattle baron & boys 2, both packs of Mexican Rancheria & Vacqueros, Pinkertons 1 and Long Riders 1. A nice mix of weapons and outfits plus matching arms for infantry and cavalry. Still, gonna have to wait for those as my wild west lead pile has grown (again) and I need to at least try to lessen my backlog. Fat chance!!

I have the Long Riders, vaqueros and rancheria packs too and I love them. My all-time favorite is the sherrif and deputies pack #1 with the "not John Wayne" from Rio Bravo.
-

that's the ones I had in mind, are they all women?
-
nope, if I remeber correctly there is one male and one woman in each pack. My favourites are the prussian and the Russians
-
Thanks for the replies.
I have all the European Hunters, the Buffalo Hunter #2, and both Train Robber sets. The train robbers are so-so, not my favorite. I agree about the European hunters; they are great. IIRC, there are the Prussian and the French guy in one set, 2 Russian sets, one of which has a woman and a hound of some sort (Afghan or deer hound possibly), and a set with a dutchman and a Brit I think.
I will have to add the ranchers, cattle baron, sheriff and long riders to my list as well.
-
Those are great models some I would like to add to my collection. It's such a shame about the websites :-(
-
I'm sure I purchased a hefty box of the Cowboy Wars range from Westwind direct a few years ago. They were selling them off when they decided to stop stocking them. I'm sure I've still got them buried in one of my numerous lead piles somewhere. I'll have a rummage around & see if I've got any of the ones you chaps are looking for.
Might take me a couple of days to track them down so hope you're not in any hurry.
-
Stavros, i'm a patient man :)

Me too

Ok chaps, after much rummaging & shouts of "I don't remember buying those either..." I finally found my box of Cowboy Wars figures. Didn't have as many as I thought so can only assume I traded some away already. Sorry, I'm getting old & my memory's not what it once was ;)
Anyhow, here's what I've got left. Codes are those shown on the Old Glory website:
ZCW-16 Mexican Rancheria #2 - Jarrissse and Yonan the Kid
ZCW-29 Long Riders #1 - Stachow & Terzinski
ZCW-23 Women of the West #1 - Mystery & Hykeley
ZCW-10 Marshalls & Deputies #2 - Vandergundt & Marion
ZCW-11 Cattle Baron & Boys #1 - Fisher & Brewsters
XCW-02 Snake Oil Salesman & Medicine Wagon (5 figures, a resin cast wagon & 2 horses)
Also turned up an unopened pack of The Earp Sisters & Doctor Holly Daye - 4 figs from Shadowforge. A tiny bit smaller than the Cowboys Wars stuff but they are girlies so would fit in.
A further rummage also unearthed 2 packs of Black Scorpion figures - Outlaws & Tombstone3. They are 32mm but great looking figs.
Oooh & finally a bag of 6 loose guys that are either Foundry or Artizan or a mix of both.
I know it was only the Cowboy Wars stuff you were looking for but thought I'd mention my other discoveries, just in case :D
-
What would you accept in trade?
Love to fill those gaps :)

I'll have a look at the OG website and get back to you, but depending on what you want/need I certainly be interested in the Cowboy wars and the Shadowforge! After Cholly of course. Any idea on the wagon in particular?
-
Depending on what you'd like I'd be interested in:
ZCW-16 Mexican Rancheria #2 - Jarrissse and Yonan the Kid
ZCW-29 Long Riders #1 - Stachow & Terzinski
ZCW-23 Women of the West #1 - Mystery & Hykeley
XCW-02 Snake Oil Salesman & Medicine Wagon (5 figures, a resin cast wagon & 2 horses), have you got pics?
The Earp Sisters & Doctor Holly Daye - 4 figs from Shadowforge
Any idea waht the artizan/foundry are?
thanks
-
I'm a bit pushed for time today but will try & get some pics up tomorrow of the Snake Oil Salesman & Wagon as well as the Artizan/Foundry odds & ends.
I would be happy to trade for any Gothic/Modern Horror, Cthulhuesqe, Pulp or Post apocalypse stuff. Failing that, cold hard cash is always welcome ;)
Now, does anybody want any 15mm WW2 Germans, 28mm WW2 Germans & Americans, 28mm WW1 Germans & British, 6mm ACW, 10mm Ancients... etc... etc... etc... I really must stop buying stuff :D
-
Here's a pic of the Artizan/Foundry figs. Turned out to be 5 not 6 as one was a Black Scorpion fig in hiding.

A quick shot of the Shadowforge Gals...

Sorry to be a pain, but have decided to hang on to the Snake Oil Salesman & Wagon. I've suddenly got the urge to do some Old West gaming again & could make use of it myself.
Pics of the Cowboy Wars stuff can be found on the Old Glory Website.
ZCW-16 Mexican Rancheria #2 - Jarrissse and Yonan the Kid
ZCW-29 Long Riders #1 - Stachow & Terzinski
ZCW-23 Women of the West #1 - Mystery & Hykeley
ZCW-10 Marshalls & Deputies #2 - Vandergundt & Marion
ZCW-11 Cattle Baron & Boys #1 - Fisher & Brewsters
-

ZCW-29 Long Riders #1 - Stachow & Terzinski
ZCW-23 Women of the West #1 - Mystery & Hykeley
The Earp Sisters & Doctor Holly Daye - 4 figs from Shadowforge
And perhaps the artizan/fiundry
Can you still post a pic of the XCW-02 Snake Oil Salesman & Medicine Wagon as the site doesn't have one and it sounds very useful, perhaps even for fantasy crossover....
Thanks

Nah that's not how we do it in the west:

DRAW YA YELLOW BELLIED VARMITS!!!
:D

....I'm standing back. This could get messy :D
For those that asked, here's a couple of pics of the Cowboy Wars Snake Oil Salesman & Wagon. It comes with 5 figures but I've just noticed that two are identical. Not sure if that's how they're supposed to be or if I just got a duff set. I was going to dry fit the wagon so you could see how it looks fully assembled but it will need a bit of work to get the pieces to fit first.

I'd like captain spadey from the artizan pic if no one wants him, will go well with my mining group.
:D
-
:o the wagon looks great! seems to have a lot of possibilities even for other settings than the old west.
-
agreed on the wagon!
