For Texas! - New Sculpts from Boot Hill Miniatures

[Malamute]

Here are the latest greens from the extremely talented Matthew Bickley.  

He has done it again in recreating the character of the period.

More Texian civilains fighting for independence from Mexico in 1836.

These will be appearing in the Boot Hill Miniatures online shop very soon.

 Artillerymen manning the cannons at the Alamo, or the Twin Sisters at San Jacinto




Texians in shirtsleeves and waistcoats

A Tejano fighting against his native Mexican brothers.


Texians in Tail coats




Apologies for some of these images not being crisp enough, I took them at 07.30 this morning without my glasses on!

Lovely models, May get a few for a Posse in Masons Upsheet Creek BLAM game.
Any possible excuse to buy a few of these will do.

[Gutbukkit]

Fantastic stuff. Bags of character. I suppose now I'm building myself an adobe town these will be even harder to resist or make excuses for not getting them.

[Helen]

Very nice miniatures. Matthew has really captured the period in question.

Cheers,

Helen

[Svennn]

Tremendous, peachy even!!

There must be some crossover potential for use later in an IHMN or EotD team with some of these too.

[Mason]

Ooooh!
Lovely sculpts.

Zigacly what I was thinking.

Those are some seriously good sculpts. Lots of character.

[Silent Invader]

Wonderful! 

[Bugsda]

Fuck me! He's surpassed himself again, bags of character in this bunch 

I can see the geezer with the rammer has got conversion potential written all over him 

[The Dozing Dragon]

Damned fine sculpting.

[Blue in vt]

Really nice as always Nick...I must return to these figures in the near future!

Cheers,

Well, I do like those and only wish I could justify a few myself...Well done Matt, and Nic of course for sticking with the project.

[Conquistador]

Those are every nice.  If they were 15 mm you would be making money off my account...

Quite "period" in appearance indeed.  Well done.

"... A Tejano fighting against his native Mexican brothers..."

I would note that the "Anglo" Texans were technically Mexican Citizens in rebellion not just the Hispanic "natives" (which my Apache friend would refer to as the 'first interlopers'...)

(All the usual wikipedia caveats apply)

"... Tejano or Texano (Spanish for "Texan") is a term used to identify a Texan of Criollo Spanish or Mexican heritage.

Historically, the Spanish term Tejano has been used to identify different groups of people. During the Spanish Colonial times and pre-Anglo colonization, the term primarily applied to Spanish settlers of the region now known as Texas (first as part of the New Spain and then in 1821 as part of Mexico).[2] During the times of independent south Texas, the term also applied to Spanish-speaking Texans and Hispanicized Germans and other Europeans.[2] In modern times, the term is more broadly used to identify a Texan of Mexican descent. It is also a term used to identify the natives of those regions settled..."


Gracias,

Thank you Glenn, I am aware what a Tejano is, I have done my research

[Deedles]
