Got back into painting after a hiatus for most of the Summer, over the past few days I turned my attention to the pile of Wild West minis that have been waiting for paint for quite a while.
I did them quite quickly, in batches, my main main goal was to create a few small gangs that can be used in various skirmish style scenarios.
First up are some Mexicans. I painted the female many years ago. She's from Copplestone, and the rest are from Artizan (I think).

Next up a few Cavalry figures from Foundry.

A few Native Americans, I did the female a couple of years ago. The minis in the first picture are Deadlands minis (I think) with the remainder from Artizan.

Finally, for now, a few 'town' type minis. Again, I did the female a while back, she's a Deadlands mini, and the rest are from Artizan/Foundry (not sure). Need to finish some of the bases.

Painting these has rekindled my Wild West mojo, so I'll press on with doing a couple more gangs - I have some Pinkerton types, some Rustlers, and a load more townsfolk to do!
Thanks for looking :)
-
Wonderful brushwork :-*
-
Yep, excellent paintwork. I like Swearingen. Or "Swejjin". lol
-
WOW! Your painting is phenomenal!
-
Wonderful work: crisp style, great color palette, and figures are full of character! :-* :-* :-*
If you find you ever have any excess mojo, kindly shoot a little my way: my brushwork could surely use it!
-
Very nicely done, sir.
:-* :-*
I wish my 'quick' paintjobs looked like that!
:o
-
Really like your Indians in particular. Wonderful work.
-
Very nice. Hopefully they will all soon be shootin' at each other!

Thanks for all the kind words - very motivating! :)
And yes, I want to get a game together as soon as possible... hopefully a multi-ganged affair with overlapping objectives.
-
Those are absolutely stunning. They will certainly perk up any gaming table. Thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Hitman

Really lovely painting, I love them all and especially the stripes on Al Swearengen! :-*
Could you or anyone else identify the minis in the last photo? I'm looking for a couple of reporter-type figures for my town.
-
Thanks.
The doc and the reporter are from the first pack on this page.

Thanks, Supercollider, they are just what I want, thanks.

Wonderful. I've painted some of these but probably not with the same quality

Hey, there, "neighbor", that is some mighty fancy brushwork you've been applying to them sundry folk. Now, I don't mean to question, but allow me to question - just where did that Spanish lass find a bottle of red hair dye back in the Old West, or did somebody just now spill a real bottle of redeye and she's a lookin' for a bath house? If that latter be the case ain't no wonder she's roaming about in her undergarments. Doesn't she know better? There just might be some gentlemen about for whom that moniker is a pronounced misnomer. Oh, and if she can't find no wheres else, I know of a spot she can bathe, and I'll wash her back for her, too. Now step away from that spittoon unless you want my tabaccy to splash on them fancy new boots.

lol lol
Her hair is a bit on the red side isn't it, yes. I painted her many years ago when I was getting back into minis after years lost in the wilderness of drink, women and clubbing. I only had half a dozen colours, so I had to make do with what I had. I thought about touching her up (shh). But as it is, she stands out nicely in games, regularly becoming the focal point of fire fights. But luckily 'Red' is often as tough as nails, and is often one of the last, if not the last one standing :)
In the fiction of my Mexican Gang, Jorge Mourhino (the guy with the grey hair) thinks he's in charge, but in reality Red is ;)

Who is selling these two civilians ?
-
They're from Foundry - first pack on this page:

In my mind these are OW11 are true 25mm. How do they look compare to Artizan ?
-
Here's a very quick comparison photo:
(https://c4.staticflickr.com/9/8048/29251782283_e86bc8a260_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/LyT2KR)
Left to Right; Reaper, Artizan, Foundry, Reaper, Foundry, Artizan.
The Foundry figures are definitely shorter, and the Reaper definitely taller. But when they are all painted, based and in play I think they mix pretty well.
Hope that helps.

Painted up a building I made a while ago over the past coupe of evenings.
It uses a cardboard chassis covered with coffee stirrers and other bits of wood. The roof is cheap plastic sheeting.

The roof lifts off for interior access, still need to finish the floor, which is a square of foamcore. Working doors!

As space is at a premium, it folds flat for easier storage.

(Similar to the shanties I made for sci-fi games: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=86856.msg1074179#msg1074179)
Thanks for looking :)

Thanks for the comparison shot. Very useful.
Very clever folding building. I might steal the idea.
-
Really great work there. Very impressive.

Those are fantastic love especially the bases and cacti.
