Cowboys riding in!

 

Above are eighteen cowboys in a mounted, on foot, and dead version for each.  Also one standing horse and one dead horse for each of six 'sets' of three (same horse color for each set).  The sets to the left and the right are white men, the sets in the center are the half dozen black cowboys.  And next up in my painting queue are the dozen individually based Mexicans in four sets, half good guys and half desperadoes - though could all be one or the other in a given scenario.

Not shown - yet - are The Legends and the Demi-Legends, though they are painted and seal coated awaiting bases getting textured.  Four additional mounted, on foot, and dead - but with two standing horses and two dead horses and all horses different colors for the mounted figures, the standing and dead match one-for-one though might not be used that way; those are the legends.  The demi-legends are three famous historical women on foot plus matching dead for each, one cinematic woman in two variants each with a dead version plus one mule and then a prospector and his brother each with matching dead and two mules, one for each brother.  Also painted five dead draft horses but also not shown yet.

All told that adds up to 120 'pieces' and all painted in the last ten days.  Working towards a game scheduled for Saturday, December 14th.

Obviously, the figures in the photo still need to have their bases textured after getting seal coated.

More figures to get painted and still need to build the stock yard.  And hopefully another eight mounted/foot/dead and 24 unarmed individually based civilians will be delivered painted tomorrow.

If all goes according to plan, I will have 58 named characters in the mounted/foot/dead variant, 6 on foot/dead only, and 24 unarmed men and women individually based.  Don't need them all for the game on the 14th.  Debating about adding (from existing figures in my collection) a group of individually based US cavalry as well as some individually based native folk - Lakota and Apache and probably some villagers.

Edit: A bit late in the evening and adding a couple more photos.

The above four mounted/foot/dead - plus standing and dead horses were painted for me by John W.  And he is expected to deliver a bunch more tomorrow.

And the above shows the Legends and Demi-legends and the dead draft horses.

Eventually, once all of the figures are ready, I will give all the figures a 'close-up' - though perhaps in groups of three.
