WHAT A COWBOY - COWBOYS

Finished painting 20 Dead Man's Hand, 28mm plastic figures for "WHAT A COWBOY" rules set.

I decided to model each character twice, one with a pistol the other with a rifle. This would allow me to switch figures when I change weapons, giving a visual representation of the current weapon in use by a players figure on the gaming table.

I also attempted to paint the eyes on these figures with mixed success. 
A little bit of manipulation was needed with the hobby knife to help accommodate the pistol gun holsters onto the figures and liquid Green stuff came in handy to fill in some gaps between the arms and body of the figures. 
 

Overall I like the figures and grabbing them at a discounted price on Black Friday sale was a bonus.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 
All the best. 

Cheers John

MOAB 2023

 Another successful 3 day Chain of Command event at MOAB this year here in Sydney, Australia. 12 players split into 2 teams, Germans vs US/British battling "Across the Rhine" over 6 table for 2 days followed by 2 big Chain of Command tables with 6 players on one and 4 players on the other on the third day. 

Much time was spent setting up the tables, playtesting and prepping  the scenarios by Steve, Chris and myself. I supplied the terrain.

This MOAB I was also able to visit the Lard Zone and experience some of the other TooFatLardies games, Mark's Sharp Practice table, Michel's What a Cowboy table and Peter's Cold war game . 

As a bonus we scored the best gaming room at the event known as the "the Lounge". The room was isolated from the crowds in the main halls which meant that we could hear and talk to each other in a normal voice, it had its own aircon, a mini kitchen and grand views over the other gaming tables.

THE FIRST 2 DAYS 



THE THIRD DAYS BIG CHAIN OF COMMAND GAMES

 

GAMING WITH THE MAHDIST ON MARK'S SUDAN TABLE  the Mahdist managed to charge at the British and capture the camel train. 

I ALSO PARTICIPATED WITH MICHEL'S WHAT A COWBOY set in the Australian outback against the Ned Kelly game.
