Multi part plastic Cowboys?!?!

[AKULA]

Can someone with a sprue tell me how tall the finished figures are...say from soles of their boots to eye level?

Might have another use for them

Dont have a ruler to hand but they scale perfectly with Aritizan cowboys. What user are you thinking? I have so many kits for kitbashing I might be able to tell you if it'll work

Not the original poster, but I'd be very interested how well they match up with the WA Resistance fighters

I’m not looking to use with cowboys at all...completely different genre.

If you’ve got a crooked dice figure to hand, that would be a good benchmark though.

Absolutely perfect with the crooked dice I have (the not Centurions) - would work for bits conversion. They’d kitbash nicely with the Wargames Atlantic resistance too - even more plastic pulp options. They’re a touch off the stargrave minis (a little less chunky) but still fairly easily workable especially head and arm swaps.

Thanks, good to know

Got mine, and they're excellent looking.  Not planning on building them too soon - but I think it's a great purchase.  As I'd argued in other threads/discussions for years...I was always shocked a generic multi-part cowboy box didn't exist....so GEG has stepped up.  It's a smart move, I believe.

As someone who sees a lot of people playing Old West games and with many new players showing up, this box just became the starter package - regardless of the rules you're using.  I'd recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone starting OW gaming.

Got mine the other day.  Assembled 5 today - the rest will get assembled this weekend, and the whole lot will get primed straightaway after that.  I'll post pics of them once painted up.

And I'll measure one or 2 up for you AKULA, if you still want actual measurements......

If you wouldn’t mind mate, that would be great...so many ideas about how to use these, and none of them involve cowboys

Okay.  I finished assembling all 10 of Great Escape Game's (GEG) plastic cowboys.  I measured the standing figures, and they measure just about 28mm to their eyes.  I also kit-bashed a couple, using Wargames Atlantic (WA) French Resistance fighters' bodies.  I took a shot of 2 of the GEG cowboys, with the 2 WA/GEG kit-bashed figures, and a Crooked Dice figure (I only have the modern US police...).  The figs in the pic below are, left to right:

1.  GEG plastic cowboy, straight from the box.
2.  A kit-bashed fig.  WA plastic French fighter body, with GEG head and cowboy shotgun arms.  The arms fit fine, but the head took just a bit of minor surgery to fit the body.
3.  GEG plastic cowboy, again, straight from the box.
4.  Another kit-bashed figure.  WA plastic French fighter body, pointing arm, and head, with GEG pistol arm.
5.  A Crooked Dice police officer.

I must say, I really enjoyed assembling these figs.  I have 10 completely different poses.  Just gotta finish prepping and priming, then get them painted up.  I'll post pics after they are done with painting.

Those plastic cowboys look very crisp and nice. It sounds like the GEG and WA use different methods of mounting the heads on the torsos?

Yes, they do.  The GEG cowboys use the same way Warlord does, with the bottom of the neck a bit rounded that fits into a little well on the body.  WA uses a flat-top neck as part of the body, and the head fits on accordingly.  Just had to take the Xacto knife to the GEG head, and do a little shaping to fit the neck on the WA bodies.

Thank you Jim for measuring them, and the photos - they look perfect for what I have in mind

No worries.  Glad I could help!
