Gangs of New York project
« on: December 20, 2014, 01:13:19 PM »
Not sure if this is the correct forum for these but i will prob use some of the figs in the project foor EotD.

Painted the 6 of these last night for my planned Gangs of New York game. I quite enjoyed painting these figures.

These are first 6 figures that will make up my Gang of Natives or Bowery Boys. My Bill The Butcher will be getting a repaint to lead these guys into battle for the Five Points.

Virtual Armchair General figures are really nice. Some of the poses are a bit static but i really enjoyed painting the figures and the sculpting is good. The figures are made for Gangs of New York games and they have a quite a few in the range.

I'm glad i liked them as these are first figures ive bought from the US that got me stung for Tax annd add ons.

West Wind London mob figures are also very nice. I love the sculpts that West Wind produce. I bought these along with a load of figures for Empire of the Dead which i will also be playing at soome point once i get some stuff sorted. The West Wind figure is more chunky but I think it looks ook next to the VAG figures. Ive only painted 1 West Wind figure just now as i need i want them to have more weapons so im going to have a shot at the sculpting putting.



More pics on the blog.

Was on television tonight, watched the opening scene. Forgot how brutally violent it was.

I am tempted to do something similar. Maybe using LotOW or Mordheim.

Gotta love those strides!

I have a few fellas at the casters who are perfectly dressed for this, although they are armed with shooters.

An interesting concept with much potential, many different ethnicities = lot's of mythological things/supernatural creatures immigrating to the new world.

London may be the trading center but New York is where you go for a fresh start.

Going to start work on5 points terrain board as well. These figures will be used to play test a new set of rules hopefully out next year.
