Emmet Gates

Here is a step by step guide to how Emmet Gates was painted.

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 and for Christmas 2008 I was lucky enough to get some Foundry Old West miniatures.

Emmet Gates is part of VOW231 which includes Emmet Gates, Judge Guthrie Prentice, Tucson Bob & Huck Klosterman, The Reverend John Wesley Carrington & Earl Jones.

As you might expect the models come in a blister pack.

The model was based on a two pence coin and given a white undercoat.

I painted the base with Citadel Texture: Armageddon Dust. I think there is too much coin showing, so I might add some texture when I come round to doing the bases for the other gunfighters.

I drybrushed the base with Citadel Ushbati Bone. I then stuck on some Citadel Mordheim Turf.
