I already have quite a few miniatures suitable for the Old West style game. At GamesDay 2008 I did purchase the Warhammer Historical Old West rules, I also found some other Foundry Old West models to complement the blisters I already had.
Wild Bill Hickok is part of the OW9/1 Shootists pack.
The model was based on a two pence piece and then given a white undercoat.
I also have some of the original 25mm Gunslingers from Foundry (probaly Guernsey Foundry if my memory serves me correctly). I don’t have their original codes (or names) so I have made them up.
The next stage will be a white undercoat.
I have continued to paint my Old West Gunslingers, I am hoping to get a few more finished, despite having started to paint some more.
This is how far I have got with Judge Guthrie Prentice.

Rollo Sullivan is part of OW9/1 Shootists.
I based the model on a two pence piece. The next stage will be a white undercoat.
Another one of the Wargames Foundry Old West figures I found. This is one of the Pinkerton Men from the OW9/1 Shootists set.
I will use the same technique on this model as I have used with my other Old West figures.

You can originally see that I had based them on a penny, but I couldn’t work out how to get it off the coin easily without damaging the model.
I think my models were packaged differently when I bought them. Currently this model is available in the following pack.
I was looking for some other stuff when I found some more Wargames Foundry Old West figures. This is Cemetery Sam.
He is from the Old West Townsfolk – The Town Vigilance Committee – OW117 set.
I was thinking of buying some Victorian models to go alongside my Victorian Science Fiction vehicles, but here I had some all the time. My intention after painting them is to use them with the Old West rules.
While going through an old box of stuff, in the main to find stuff I no longer want to sell on eBay, I found some more Foundry Old West figures.
I am pretty sure they are Foundry, but can’t find them on the website at the moment, I will post photographs at a later date.
I have now based them on two pence pieces, they were originally based on pennies, but in order to match my other gunfighters I needed to base them on larger coins.
I had mentioned in a previous blog post that I was thinking about painting my Sarissa Precision buildings for the Old West. I took the plunge and painted the flat roof of the store.
I used a Citadel grey to paint the roof to represent that it had been pitched with tar and then faded in the sun. Black paint would have been too dark.
You can see in this image how it looked before I painted the roof.
The downside of this kind of painting I think will be that it will obscure the laser etching of the roof tiles on my other Sarissa Precision building.
I have been painting more of my Foundry gunfighters to get more of them finished for a future game of Old West. In the main I have been using Citdeal and Vallejo paints, using browns and the odd green. I need to get some blue for jeans though.
So far I have only finished Emmet Gates, but hope to get most of them finished soon.
