Can't wait to shoot up the town again!

Station looks awesome! It needs a sign.

....and a train!

Great Job here.

I loved it before but that new roof makes it look even better. Good call that man.

Thanks , I'm really glad I repainted the roof.

Final product looks great.  I have a stack of Ainsty detritus waiting to be painted...I will be going with some based piles of goods as opposed to the ziploc bag of barrels and boxes I currently have! 
Very slick.

It seems the pile of Ainstey detritus just keeps growing and growing 

Yes, in my taste it looks better
more natural but less colourful
and the red wall-paint comes out better

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction, it looks way better.

Station looks awesome! It needs a sign.

You are right and looking for a sign now... thanks just more work  . Will have to take revenge next week  .

LOVE IT!
Can't wait to shoot up the town again!

OI  .... You can't win every time (bring the dice you used last time, they seemed to roll 1 just well enough )

....and a train!
 

Train is on the way, a cheap toy train I bought for 5 euro's. Almost right scale, but for that kind of money I can't complain.

Great Job here.

Thank you, the only thing is that the job seems to be never ending (and a money pit  )

I had  a lot of work to do this weekend (correction work as I am a teacher) and I started a little project to avoid work... (don't worry I finished the corrections just now).

On page one of this thread I mentioned I ruined the Sarissa water tower   It was just to flimsy. Now that my train station is up and running I decided I really need a water tower so I scratch build one using some glue, paper, and some coffee stirrers. This is the result and I must say for a quick build (1 hour or so) without a plan it turned out quite OK (it is just a tad on the big side being slightly bigger than the Sarissa one).

Hope you like it C&C as always more then welcome

Nicely done, Za!

An hour, you say?

Very nicely done, indeed!

Gorgeous stuff - way better than mine (and also encouraging me to actually finish mine...)

Cool
I'd be tempted to lift the roof and see if Will Smith is having a bath inside 

Is the pipe missing?

Thanks guys for the compliments on the water tower, it was a nice little project and I'm getting more and more pleased about it.

I just played a game of FFOL this afternoon and Groove and I had tons of fun. I made a different set-up for my town. I made the following table.

The train station, water tower and the HF Corral



I played the Outlaws and Groove played his Pinkerton lead by one eyed Jack (lost his eye to the vulture in an earlier game). My objective was to steal the cattle and the Pinkerton had to stop me.

I made a template that made it possible to play inside the train carriage.



The game was hilarious mostly because there was a possibility of a stampede.

The Stampede rules:
If shots are fired within 2" of the Corral or if shots are fired into the Corral role a D6.
On a roll of 2-5 nothing happens
On a roll of 1 and 6 the cows panic and there is a stampede.

Roll a D3, this is how wide the stampede is. (I use 40mm Hexbases so on a 3 the stampede is 3 hexes broad.)
Than roll a scatter die and a D10. The cows run D10"
If the cows run into miniatures roll a D6, on a 6 the miniature jumps into safety just in time. on a 1-5 roll on the to wound chart.

(I hope this all makes sense, it worked for us though   big time  )

In turn one the outlaw stormed the train and stunned the Pinkerton sniper on the water tower.
In side the train the outlaws reeked havoc with some very well placed shotgun shots. Billy Bob rushed to the Corral to steal some cows. another outlaw was on the roof of the train and shot a Pinkerton through the roof inside the train. Then my luck changed. Another outlaw jumped of the train and broke his foot and was stunned. The pinkerton started shooting at Billy Bob inside the Corral and you guessed it the cows panicked... Resulting an a STAMPEDE.
Both Billy Bob and another outlaw fled the board when confronted with a horde of cows coming towards them.

In the end the Pinkerton saved the cattle and all the outlaws fled or were killed. It was a blast of a game.

Here are some action pictures.







STAMPEDE

Hurrah! The first Pinkerton win! Once again not because of my tactical skill, but because the outlaws got trampled by a stampeding herd of cows. . Brilliant game and I can't wait to play with a full sized town.

[Elbows]

Awesome stuff - super atmospheric pictures! 

[Mason]

Wonderful, Za, just wonderful!
 

Great eye-candy and the stampede idea is top drawer.
 

Sounds like you had a great time.
As for train interiors, I discovered this wonderful freebie on the Pulp28's website the other day.

And i seem to remember you were wining about starting on the side where the corral was. "O no now I have a bigger chance to get trampled" 

Awesome stuff - super atmospheric pictures! 

I remembered this time to pick up the camera and finally make some pictures of the game 

Wonderful, Za, just wonderful!

Thanks for the compliment. The stampede was brilliant. On of the best ways I ever lost a game.
Thanks for the PDF link. That train is brilliant and I will certainly pint and use it.

Looked to have been a nice enjoyable game! 

How long did it take you to finish a scenario like that?

It was a very fun game, it took about 60 minutes from start to finish. We both played a 5 men team and after each round we randomized  movement for the civilians. It got real bloody real soon 
The game before this we played with three persons, each with 5 miniatures and it took about 2 and a half hours.
