Latest Cowboys

These are the latest additions to my cowboy posse. I've been trying to vary colours and techniques as well as be bolder with highlights. I do struggle with saturation and colours in general, but they just need practise.

In her majesty's name. Round 2.

IHMN campaign's 2nd mission was to get out of the board with a boat. The boats started activating randomly from turn 1 onwards, and sailed offboard with growing speed unless boarded and taken into player control.

To get to the boats, one had to use a rowboat. It moved 1" for every model that elected to row, rowing models could not do anything else thet turn. So if 5/7 models would row, the remaining 2 could stil fire/move etc. Also swimming was 1".

Very fun mission! Many thanks to Mikko from smallcuts for setting it up.

In her Majestys Name battle report

Our "In Her Majestys Name" campaign started with a clash of my wild west posse against Hassan and his strange bunch.
The rules are fun and fast, we got 2 games played within 4 hours even with all the rule reading and all. I can recommend them to casual gamers who want to have some fun and play that one group that has not existed in any other game.

As for my posse, Wild West Show seems to rely on it's speed and medicore firepower, the old hunter is really good with his rifle though. I think I'll remove some of the horses and get more boots on the ground for those points in future.. If i get to around painting them..

Big thanks to Mikko for setting up the games, they were really balanced and entertaining.

Following battle report of the first game has really no enemy movements or tactics, its more or less a narrative of my posse's actions.

Wild west posse 80% done

Today is the first game in our Club's IHMN campaign, and Ive been painting 250pts Wild West Show posse for it.

Productive day

Its been a while since I have managed to sit here enough to get as much done as today. I started learning faster painting to get stuff colored for fantasy battle tournament I registered today. One of my painpoints has been too slow painting style, I try to change that with my dark elves. I try to find optimal order and not care too much for mistakes.

So, at the end I got 8 elves, the test squad, finished. Also my wild west posse is cleaned and pinned for basing, they get basecoat tomorrow, and I get another batch of elves to the painting line.

Here's the day's work

Colours are too bland, but they are finished

 

Basing for desert

I suddenly remembered that I had one sample mini from Foundry that could be used in my upcoming posse of Wild West Show for In Her Majesty's Name. I slapped in some paint, but started working on creating a basing theme for the posse. As their numbers stay lowish, I thought I'd go on and do a bit extra, and try new stuff out.
