WWX painted outlaws

I've  been itching to paint these guys ever since I stuck them togeather, but held back and  the last of the warzone done and dusted it was time!

I wanted a rag tag look to my outlaws this is mainly down to recently watching 3:10 to yuma and the outlaw gang fashion gave me a few ideas, If you've not seen the remake its worth watching.

For once I actually did a test model to see how the overall look would well look!



and with the feedback that I got from my muse's I continued on with the rest of the hired hands, all 19 of them!



long range hired hands, both wave one & two mixed in, not sure on the differance model wise?



another load of long ranged guys



and the combat type chaps, again wave one & two,  wave two seems to be better stats wise but more expensive of course.


and the other 5


and all 20 good to go!

I also manged to get some other odds and sods done as well, in the form of Jesse James, a couple of specialists and side kicks and underbosses,





 The bases I've stolen the idea from Matt (Mr Evil) via the facebook group for UK fans of WWX, so huge thanks to Matt for doing the hard work and coming up with the idea ;)


this is his magic recipe....

paint base a dark gold,
use the gw stuff  (nihilakh oxide) with a bit of water,
let dry, drybrush with a lighter gold.
then put down a shade for base,
spray varnish so it doesnt lift (I didn't bother with the varnish personally)
then aff the gw crackling stuff (agrellan earth)

with these boys done, the pledge is looking stupidly good for month one....

Bought -8
Painted - 92 (nearly half was the jungle terrain)

So I nearly managed a whole month without buying a model but caved in on a good deal for a firestorm armada start set.

so on to the goals for 2014.....

4x4 Jungle board - in progress....
4x4 old west/wild west exodus board - still outstanding

Finish off some projects:
Cybertronic for warzone - Done
Enforcers for deadzone - Done
Terrain for deadzone - still outstanding 
Enlightened & Outlaws for WWX - in progress....
Zee dreadball team - still outstanding
Malifaux Gremlins - still outstanding
Plague reaper for 40K escalation - still outstanding
Orks for 40K (not finish but do enough for 2K) - still outstanding
Finish off the 5th Company including the drop pods - still outstanding
Orcnar for Relics - still outstanding

New systems & Projects that I've not kickstarted:
Judge Dredd -  Have the rulebook models needed possible salute pick up?
Muskets & Tomahawks - Have the rulebook models needed possible salute pick up?
Italians for boltaction - still outstanding

so two ticked off in a single month, the WWX well on the way to being completed as well its a fantastic start to the new year, I just need to maintain the focus on the list and not get side tracked!
