20 X DEAD MANS HAND FIGURES FINISHED
« on: 02 January 2024, 09:33:21 PM »
Finished painting 20 Dead Man's Hand, 28mm plastic figures for "WHAT A COWBOY" rules set.
I decided to model each character twice, one with a pistol the other with a rifle. This would allow me to switch figures when I change weapons, giving a visual representation of the current weapon in use by a players figure on the gaming table.

Great idea to do variations on the figure and very well painted too. :)

Agree with the comments on the painting.  Looking good in the hood!

As for the two versions, it's a great idea.  Doing it for mounted ones as well?

They're excellent and I really like the idea of having the two different figs to represent weapon options.
