Rollo Sullivan

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.

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.

One of the Pinkerton Men

I was looking for some other stuff when I found some more Wargames Foundry Old West figures. This is one of the Pinkerton Men from the OW9/1 Shootists set.

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.

"Excuse me sir…"

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.

Old West Civvies

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.

Painting more Old West Gunfighters

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.

Basing the Old West

I mentioned before that I wasn’t initially happy with my basing of my Old West miniatures so have been adding green stuff to the coins I was using for bases.

This should mean that when I come to paint the bases with textured paint it should mean the bases don’t look so coin-like.

Basing the Gunfighters

Though I was quite pleased how Emmet Gates turned out, I was less pleased with his base.

I first gave it a basecoat of Citadel Texture: Armageddon Dust. Once the paint was dry, I drybrushed with Citadel Layer: Ushabti Bone and then used some Citadel Mordheim Turf.

Base for Emmet Gates

What I did note was that it didn’t quite cover the coin as well as I thought it would. So for my other Foundry models I decided to use a bit of green stuff to texture the base.

This will combined with the Citadel Texture make the base look more like a base and less like a coin.
