Recent commission for a 'new' company, Black Sheep Miniatures

Size and heft they'll fit in nicely with Artizan....

Very nice, figures & painting.
Are they metal, resin or printed?

Some very nice figures and very well painted.  But it seems as if the cowboys in pictures 4 and 6 all patronised the same haberdashery.  A little variation across the range (pun intended) would have been nice (it is not as jarring for the banditos). I know that they are called "vacqueros," but only 1 figure in Vacqueros B and two figures in Vacqueros are actually dressed as Vacqueros (with the short jacket); the rest look like cowboys and would have benefited from different headgear.

Yeah, it's fair to say there has been a bit of digital cut and paste  probably to keep initial costs down. Sensibly priced though so forgivable in my book.

If I didn't already have more Wild West figures than I will ever use I would grab several of those .... who am I kidding, I'm already hankering after the Mexicans ... and prospectors .... and bank robbers .... and vaqueros .... OK, I see one pack of each in my future :-)

As to the similarity of dress ... it depends how many tailors/ seamstresses you think your imaginary town has I guess.

Ooooooooooooo...some really nice figures in there. Not a big fan of the guy dragging his rifle through the dirt pose, but otherwise some really nice figures.

Those look very nice.  I've always painted a few cowboys here and there, but think I want to take the plunge into the Old West in the upcoming year.

Those are some lovely figs you've painted up there.  I may have to look into that line...

Just when you thought it was safe to look at wargaming pages...

Every time I think I'm out...they pull me back in.

Guilty as charged I'm afraid.  Glad I didn't make any foolish Ney Year's Resolutions about not buying more figs I don't need.  Especially good looking figs with character and excellently painted.

Thanks for the post!

Nice job on those figures.  Looks like a promising range - thanks for bringing them to my attention.
