Empress- The Wild Bunch.
« on: July 02, 2024, 06:37:21 PM »
Been perusing these figures, they're great. Be nice if they did the Cavalry from 'She Wore A Yellow Ribbon'. I'd have 'em in a heartbeat.
Next project will be their 28mm Stagecoach, complete with the Ringo Kid on the roof, with his Winchester!

A very good evening to you Sir, I recently invested in said stagecoach and must say I'm well pleased with it. Nice clean casting and figures. Just need to get on with putting it together and painting it! The second edition of DMH has some rules as discussed but haven't been able to source anything else. You had any luck?

Knuckleduster do John Fords cavalry, complete with Quincannon, Colonel Fonda, Sgt Tiree and the rest. No Shirley Temple though☹️
They also do the General from the Wild Bunch, firing a maxim from the hip! Lovely figures but far from cheap.
Brigade games in the US are releasing a cavalry range - might be worth a look as well. Dont know if they fit as Captain Brittles’ troop though - that aint my department.

Ted, one of my wargaming buds, has the KD John Ford cavalry fellas, all painted up.  I could easily pick out the named characters, they are that well done...

Harry, I bought the KD Cavalry and they are a joy to behold with the mounted and dismounted figures properly matched. I just need to make time to get them done. Caliver stock them but they are brutally expensive, probably import fees etc.

Bought some Knuckleduster on some misguided advice some years ago that they might work for larger 15s - not even close, HO scale in size.  The figures did not have any sort of stand just the feet to 'the ground' so give that consideration before ordering - just in case.  Otherwise very nice figures.  Actually, still have them.

I've only bought the GB codes which are the more recent and 28mm. They match nicely with Artizan Blacksheep and DMH. Also it's all slotteded bases for the food figures and the cavalry are resin with traditional bases. I really like the range as its covering all those figures you always wanted from the movies etc. In fact I've got Five different versions of the Duke himself!!
