Boot Hill Miniatures - New sculpts - CASTINGS IN STOCK 05/02/10

[Malamute]

Oh, that's gone and torn it. I've been wavering these last few months, but now I'm catching the distinctive scent of a New Project. Might as well just go and write a bloody cheque payable to the Malamute Mortgage Fund right now then... 

Beautiful figures Nick. 

 

I thought the grizzled Sgt figure would fit in nicely with your Seminole project.

[warhammergrimace]

Hmmm, I'm tempted, an alamo army for Black Powder.......

[Ray Earle]

Now Commanches - there's a thought....

Commanches. Now there would be a range I'd happily dive straight into. I've been waiting forever and a day for the conquest mounted figures. 

[warbeads]

 

Great figures.

Alas,    I have enough Gringos.  But when the Mexican Army starts being available in the March-April Time line...

Oh, I need... okay, want... vaqueros.

Gracias,

Glenn

Lovely , lovely figures

[Christian]

These are great!

Really , really nice. I haven't seen Old West figs this good since the Foundry mounted and dismounted figs. The horses looks a little rough, but I'm sure they paint up well.

[Leapsnbounds]

 these are definitely on must have.  I enjoy "Personality Sets" like this as it lets you have a role-playing adventurer and a mounted general.  Thank you very much.

Some lovely looking figures there.

Luckily Glynis hasn't seen this thread yet - she has the Hudson & Allen Alamo model (full layout, chapel, walls, long barracks & other buildings, it's about 6' x 4') but no Alamo figures, so I get to use it for colonial (Indian Mutiny or Boxer) and Alasdair has used it for LoTR.

[silvana]

They look amazing. Great sculps.
I prefer the figures standing as the thought of painting horses terrifies me.

[Smokeyrone]

Must resist the temptation, and stay on 15mm Colonials, but your making it tough!

I love Gutshot in 28mm, with character heavy figs like these!

[Galloping Major]

Lovely stuff Malamute, this is turning into the definitive Early Texas range. 

Excellent miniatures. They capture the spirit of that time. Very realistic look.
Have you read Larry Mc Murtrys Dead Mans Walk and Comanche Moon... ? You should would inspire you even more.
Cheers
Björn

Hey chaps, in case any of you have missed them both the above McMurtry classics are available on DVD.
Re Comanches, if you don't have Fehrenbach's book on them (I read it about 1980, and recently bought a very reasonably priced paperback copy from Amazon), I'd highly recommend it.

Now I am distracted again! I thought I had forgotten about the old west!

 These figures are awesome.

Unique and well sculpted.

Do you have any plans to sell these in the US?

Matt I will ship these anywhere in the world

I am not using a US distributor, but you can order via the website and I will happily send them to you,  I have sent quite a few to the States so far.

I love these figs and will probably end up getting them no matter what, but I am not really an "Alamo" gamer. What else could they be used for? I suppose the Flintlock pistols rule them out for The American Civil War. It's interesting cause the dress is definitely 19th century but the weapons seem more 18th century to me.
