Title: New figures for Drake's Branch...
Post by: Elbows on March 01, 2016, 08:40:57 PM
After a long hiatus I've started adding some characters to my town of Drake's Branch.

A Great Escape Games cavalry soldier, a couple of Conquest Plains Indians and three of the glorious new Knuckleduster 32mm's.  My painting doesn't do them justice, but the pictures always bring out the worst don't they?

More pics on the blog (my photobucket is already at bursting point!)

The Knuckleduster 32's are the finest figures I've ever received from a company.  I have another dozen or so.  Truly wonderful.  The pics on the website do them zero justice.  Crisp clean, wonderful detail, beautiful detail on the firearms (accurate), and none of the random "disappearing stuff" points like you find on most models.  Can't recommend them enough!

Forrest does a really great job on his figures.

They all looks great. The scale between the range is very good.

Thanks, they also scale well with Black Scorpion (though I've just changed my basing, so now they'll be at slightly different heights).  I've ditched the small and poorly cast figures I got from Brigade Games.

What did you get from Brigade? Ive just started, and my Brigade stuff is lovely, clean casts and perfectly to scale w/ my Artizan minis.

The Bushwackers I received were really...boring and small.  Just not enthused with the casts.  The fellas with the cloaks/hoods etc.  Compared to my other Old West stuff they failed to impress.
