That Mr. Sellack packs quite the caliber of shootin' iron based on that shell by his side!
Them longhorns look the part and never mind the uni-pose - sometimes it just works out that way.
Great looking game! Glad everyone had fun.
Great looking town, I like the way you've tied the building bases into the baseboard, it makes a huge difference in my opinion.
The Dixon longhorns look fantastic, very nicely painted as well, the sculpts not much good in the corral but once they start to run, then just look out, they are the business. I have some warbase ones, good in the corral but they can't run at all. You pays your money etc
You have to have cactus, I think it's in the LAF regulations or something, do you mind me asking where yours came from, mine are DAS and they look it I'm sorry to say.
Only 12 cattle? I had to go back and count because it seemed like more. Makes me want to get mine painted - and the newer ones assembled and ready for painting. Peter Pig recently released long horns with separate heads which means they can be glued on at slightly different angles to add a little variety. I have 98 of them critters to paint up, 48 already primed and the 50 bought from Peter Pig - 2 of the latter destined for unknown purposes, maybe turn them into dead longhorns. Now if I can just get a good 15 mm longhorn skull - and a buffalo skull, too, for that matter!
Good grief, I've heard of button counters but now we've become cow counters and on that note there were 12 of them in the corral but only 10 running along the street. I didn't see any barbecuing going on!
LAF Western Town regulation 15a states quite clearly that there will always be cows in a western town, and 15b states they have to be texas longhorns, painted with that cool mottled browney, redish tan colour.. no other cows are admissible. The one refering to cactus is 5a, 5b and 5c. 5a There will always be cactus. 5b While it is not obligatory for them to be the 3 pointy finger ones (whoes name escapes me) but it is highly desirable. 5c states that cactus have to be purchased at a high cost but that for poor wargamers it is permissible to make them from DAS clay, but only if you use flock so that no one is under the illusion that you bought them.Regulation 9b states the ground texture shall always represent desert, grass is very undesirable as there was none in the desert regions of Spain where all true westerns were filmed, I belive the is a disputed regulation about spaghetti but I can't remember it offhand..I hope that clarifies the situation. Although maybe I should just refer you to 1a all Western Towns are set in the SW except when they're not.
Great idea about the separate bases for dry or temperate climates. An inspired idea.
