Western Undead

Here are my two latest 28mm figures. Both from different companies, yet both wild west zombies. Starting on the left we have another figure from the AINSTY CASTINGS Villains Weird West pack. Two days ago I finished the werewolf from that pack so only 1 more from that pack to paint. I will undercoat him this afternoon so maybe over the weekend. The figure on the right is from Reaper Miniatures it is less versatile as it is totally in western dress from head to toe and even carrying a pistol.

 While I have no use at the moment for wild west zombies I did like both figures so that moved them up the painting schedule quite swiftly.  Maybe I will sort a game out featuring western zombies sometime in the future.

That's it for today thanks for tuning in and I'll post again on Thursday. Until then take care all the best Clint.

  2. The Foundry zombie gunfighters are an excellent set of figures. Very characterful. As for the two figures you've posted, what's not to like about them? I think they're great.

    1. It's a very different Victorian adventure! Would fit with EotD and IHMN well kind of.

  6. This is how the lead pile grows Clint. We begin by buying something we don't need, then create a need for those figures. This in turn results in our buying more figures for our new "thing".

    Nice work on these Clint. I haven't figured out how to do a decent blood effect yet. Yours is very nice.

    1. Oh Anne you are so right! That is how the lead mountain grows. It's worse in clubs as you also want other peoples projects as well.

      I usually don't do blood effects (all my 20th century zombies are grey scale.) SO if these look OK I'll stick to this way.

  7. They look really good, but a zombie with a pistol - now that's plain scary.
    I've a feeling that your subconscience won't leave you alone until you do something with them.

    1. My Subconscious is about 4 steps ahead of you, but I had all the painting time to mull it over.

  8. Nice job on them Clint. I like the Weird West from Ainsty its on my to get list at some point. This isn't anything to do with a certain film you watch recently?

    1. I would like to claim ALL the amendments, every single one of them.

      Would you believe coincidence? (No I wouldn't either!)
