Title: Legionnaire newbie Old West stuff.
Post by: Legionnaire on March 18, 2013, 11:52:06 PM: Here goes, I have seen some really astounding stuff here and I have got nothing that can compete. Still, I wanted to show some of my humble efforts, comments and critique are more than welcome. The minis are awaiting varnishing and basing.

:-*

The Lawman may use the same tailor, but the other guys have a certain flair about them.
;)

Really glad to see that the Artizan are not dwarfed too much by the Scorpion fellas as I have a few Artizans that I really like and now I know that they will work fine with the stuff ZZ sent me.
:D

If you put them next to each other there's a size difference but on the gaming table it become hard to see the difference.

Post by: Legionnaire on March 19, 2013, 07:31:23 PM: As so many of you have correctly pointed out, my Old West minis are Black Scorpion and a few Artizan. The collection is but small at the moment (20 odd minis) but I plan on buying more soon...

Thanks for the positive comments on the colours. I just feel it gets a bit... boring to only paint in drab brown/ black/ dark colours, still try to keep them somewhat dark in tone.

Little did I anticipate my three lawmen to be the subject of so much discussion :), the way I see it, they could be the Earps (or any other similarly close knitted family) and with "Tombstone" in mind I opted for a simple, similar colour scheme, the difference is the colour of their tashes...

The tailor in my town may be colour blind at times and constructing garish combinations, but the good citizens have to take it or be seen in their Unmentionables (bare lead!!!) His brother is the barber and together they rule with an iron fist (purple shoes and puke green scarf with a haircut just like so... muahaha)
