To wake up the locals I need a posse. I am unsure whether to take an all mounted bushwhacker posse or crack on and finish the renegade Indians I started a while back.<br /> I know Dave will be using his mountain men which have an awesome mix of long range fire power and close combat skills. so it may be good to close in quick on horse back then blast a way with 6 shooters. Or i could use lots of sneaky braves which can be hard to hit then close in an use tomahawks to scalp the hairy headed mountain men.<br /> Other people may also be playing so its probably best to take a well rounded force. Whatever i decide it is sure to be fun and the updates will be coming in thick and fast.Steve hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08079284842321565503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130397536505801550.post-90761283470950630062010-03-11T16:58:00.001+00:002010-03-11T17:05:42.228+00:00Colins new blogColin has just launched his long awaited blog.<br /><br />for some great inspirational buildings have a ganders at<br /><br /><a href="http://www.wargamingbuildings.blogspot.com/">www.wargamingbuildings.blogspot.com</a>Steve hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08079284842321565503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130397536505801550.post-54084229581907173532009-12-21T09:08:00.003+00:002009-12-21T09:18:14.029+00:00Native American posse<div>Stephen the heathen used to ride with Rob Johnsons rebs, now he is leading his own outfit of renegade Injuns.

Without my left thumb I cant do anything. All my hobby related interests use my thumb, painting, writing, weight training , martial arts. The only thing I have managed to do is go running with my dog.<br /> I went back to the hospital for some more Xrays and they reckon I will have my cast off in three weeks. I dont know if my sanity will last that long?!?!?!<br /> So what have I been doing...? well not a lot......<br /> I have started a few articles for the blog, they all just need finishing off. Mainly I have been watching DVDs. Western wise I watched Appolosa, a very good film based around a lovely town, plenty of ideas for extra buildings when the time is right. Not a lot really happens but some great characters in it. If you havnt seen it do!<br /> I have just started on the prison break DVD box set. Just watched season 1, now I am on to the season 2. I dont know if I will make it all the way through season 2 and 3. Hopefully my hand will get better so I can do something more constructive..... <br /> Although I cant paint I have been planning more posses and have orders ready to go with Foundry, Artisan and Dixons. The good thing is the enthusiasm is still there (for wargaming not prison break.)Steve hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08079284842321565503noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130397536505801550.post-35148175405036325432009-02-25T15:30:00.007+00:002009-02-25T15:44:49.239+00:00i dont think i will be painting for a while.....Howdy,<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div>last night i dislocated my thumb, just my luck i am left handed.....</div><div>So no painting for me for a while, which is a real bummer as i have a very busy schedule of commisions to get through before i treat myself to painting my next posse.<br /></div><div>it didnt hurt at the time but it sure did when the doctor with the help of 2 nurses at A&E pulled it finally back into place,<br /></div><div>heres a picture for the not to squemish...<br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306758565847193074" style="DISPLAY: block;

The first game was a now "infamous Stinky Pete" scenario. He had been drinking to hard again like every other time he comes down from the hills with bags of gold...<br /> This was a multipler game, each posse had to grab as many bags of gold from the centre of town whilst dodging lead from Stinkys buffallo gun as well as each others. We started the game at 2100 and finished at 0230!! <br /><br />Since it was so long ago and my notes have disappeared here are some pics of the action.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb7LHGva8u_eiDw82k0Y6V4aO7mAfAoPK_dtCKR7oe_n2wi4hVKgUOe6mypIj0kU8wMsIVv6_U9bsYAoNv5PcdbwoP-yO8BnDoyQEU3-jy4yjVP5SZmnwSwxuF0C5434BSNYOYcjtmyfmI/s1600-h/wildwestxmas08+040.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301113685802413730" style="DISPLAY: block;

His brother Rich grunted , turning in his bedroll, Pat Kennedy snored and Stitch lay on his back staring silently into the sky's limitless depths.<br />It was not a happy camp up in the foothills of the Dark Peak. Wint seethed with bitterness and frustration, sucking at the taste of jack rabbit in his whiskers and sipping at a tin cup of Arbuckles. Losing Mike O'Neill had been a blow. Such a good man, hard as nails, he had deserved better. His brother would be arriving to learn bad news, but Brendan himself was a tough man.<br />It was not just a matter, now, of freeing Jimmy Mac before the fateful day, it was a matter of revenge. That Sheriff would be a pushover without those Pinkertons to back him up, but Pinkertons or no they were going to have their say pretty soon.<br />He settled uneasily down to drift off to sleep in thoughts of the impending clash and this affair's bloody resolution...The hanging was set for the second of September... in a few more days it would not be a blackened stick stirring ashes, but hot lead and cold steel stirring up all kinds of Hell in Imelda...<br />I hope that Wint has the date right. Was everything cleared with Imelda’s mayoress?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253638602438383490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_HpLDTeMdu7EqDtqZ3CpD-srZ6rLzTDC63zRsguant5GBqZwVTljRiJJHNepG_Bjw_aeLFa8KQ15twep43yULfoq_sI1QmPyRdnGq9MMI2kMQFgvpXibNv15o8Szb5TCnYDEt65r62Phk/s400/PATRICKSBOYS1.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br />Monday broke clear and, rising fresh from a sound sleep, Wint Geoghan surveyed the landscape from a rocky promontory. The town of Imelda seemed to be asleep still, though he knew that folks would be up and about their morning chores. Later the place would bustle and maybe Pat Kennedy would make his way down for a look around... to see how things lay.<br />Stitch Schneider's visit on Saturday had revealed that the hanging had been postponed for a week, but he'd been pleased to report that the Sheriff's face still bore the marks left by Michael's fists, giving the lie to his cockiness.<br />Another week. Time for their anger to cool. Wint's eyes narrowed as he felt not a cooling, but a cold certainty crystallising behind them. He could keep his boys in check, soothe them like the cool touch of a gun barrel against their cheeks, but once the trigger was squeezed... they would boil up fast and whip like bullets into the town of Imelda. Wake it to living nightmare!<br /><br /><br /><br /><em></em><br /><em>Patrick has been champing at the bit since our initial encounter in Imelda, he hopes to settle a score soon.</em><br /><em>so watch this space!!</em>Steve hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08079284842321565503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130397536505801550.post-67706539251817229902008-09-17T15:19:00.023+01:002008-10-01T12:03:40.643+01:00Games day 2008<p>At 0500 on the 28<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> September I was waiting eagerly by my front door sheltering from the wind, which seemed to be attempting to blow over the terrain boards stacked up against my fence.

New pal and enthusiast PATRICK SERJEANT and I had an introductory shootout, It being Pats first game of LoToW. I played with my Pinkerton models using the lawmen posse rules and Pat used outlaws.

I had booked Saturday night off work a few weeks back and was planning to travel down south for a great WAB wargame based on the Macbeth play hosted by Dave "shami" Marks and Sunday i was hosting a LotOW game with Colin to playtest the rules for "Pinkertonmen" posse i have been working on.<br /><div><br /><div>Saturday was a no go when work decided that i hadnt given them enough notice and couldnt authorise my absence. So unless i went AWOL the Norwegian contingent i was hoping to lead into battle would have to count as lost at sea. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220253955971281730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUWyWQFSlAavuIYVF2S4kirVjA_nqV6-FSUkRNdt5_xqGUPjS7KdSzi6DvV7I1cFZaUYvfIzCRUyIhSZjMYunP55KtevL11hFKPA7x7LBNpeFkoFIWukSMABPx2wq_8p16vBXpiL0yI3Nu/s400/vv+022.JPG" border="0" /></div></div><br /><p>a few of my vikings i was hoping to use at the weekend</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220253882773556338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKGUW83ULaPorKjnDrzvBNIqiKUqXU5mjwU1lbMZu5XdL9-RD8lma6tyoyMSxIo5iTAiewQ5Hb_XsIyYkXy3gGGc4DuGM-P5rqg20_ILt016l4oFVgBF0vAzJaaRHjUpTxM3T0_BlE65TZ/s400/vv+021.JPG" border="0" /></p><br /><br /><p>I would of loved to have been there, but it was not the end of the world, As i knew that Sundays game was going to be great fun.</p><p>So after finishing work at 0230 Saturday night/ Sunday morning i decided to put in a few extra hours at my painting station to get a more townsfolk painted up for the coming game.</p><p>I finally put my head down at 0500 only to be woken up two hours later by my 3 year old daughter. Even this i didnt mind as i could sit her down after breakfast painting stones whilst i finished off my townies, and prepared myself for the forthcoming shoot out. </p><p>But it was not meant to be as i received a message from Colin who was unable to make it due to his car breaking down (i was beginning to worry that i smelt like a wargamer). </p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220257334244771266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGSfDUHFPwXYr_iwoLI_13Qf06pLoak9u4a7O50Xz-gYLPIJWjswtFoJKjgPIyL8s36Hgx5okQR6wmabpPo3HMK70oai_iRUOsv6hgfxCVb6y-UJNIJW-nsIQWzjSuou1mTS_sYTnfZPZ-/s400/COLINS+CAR.jpg" border="0" /></p><p>Colins car...........</p><p>All being well, Colin and I will get a game or 2 in next weekend and i will be able to test out the pinks and post some great pics and a battle report from the mean streets of Imelda<br /></p><p></p>Steve hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08079284842321565503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130397536505801550.post-20765883040973295162008-07-07T13:08:00.007+01:002008-12-11T09:18:52.961+00:00WHIRLWIND HITS IMELDA!Whirlwind Milly hit the town of Imelda last night, a quick but deadly assault which took out the water tower and the backyard of "the spirit of the times" newspaper office! <div><div><div><br /><div>I was quietly laying out my town just to check for gaps before commisioning Colin to build a few more fantastic buildings, when Milly my eight month old mastiff puppy lumbered into the room. With one paw she managed to take out the backyard and the water tower, before i managed to grab her and push her out of the room before the whole town was destroyed. I feel i got off quite lightly and have learned my lesson, "Do not put your lovely cherished buildings on the floor where they might be stamped on"!<br /></div><div>Anyway i have now come up with my wishlist, mainly from perusing the fantastic photos which can be found on <a href="http://www.ghosttowngallery.com/">http://www.ghosttowngallery.com/</a> a great site for reference material and a fun idea for a holiday travelling around the US of A photographing old ghost towns (trouble is i dont think my wife would agree). <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220245570581357458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnH62VODdhxPYis8ttEYDiszjwpdZuGqGeUDZzNl2BFXA-mAJTcXOhntvErexLgc1bAKI3SIPYIo5hUWwVR64GWN8jUN8rkjaxVIDXH6WLE14oWOVsNa20Wq9_4BvY5QvCymGEck35V-61/s400/jul+009.JPG" border="0" /></div></div><p>the destruction from above.....</p><p></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220245807861372434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicZnKaDVX5nc1cS7MzYxJSVdvrHquTerZW-ymPPJVCAf2sh_jzbqhkm6u5rwIs5nkOOn56mONiSxUIiq7-2Y_5H06Z5A3J_ipDbBUHbcJacnOa5t07tUWaxYoE7EF8psro8VHX1D6vaLTz/s400/jul+010.JPG" border="0" />The rear yard......<br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220246137448523138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdOhsJPd9aK9hor0x_LjNXvAJVyxlKoqZjY6GE6xOI-pVCsYFDG-j9Xc1czPiTPngAtrWt0jDF3khgaicqG4KEegbIwEtI8XcjH9ycyqhN4Yd349nDOeGThewuX-3vZ3TRMbrthl88pawG/s400/jul+011.JPG" border="0" /></p></div></div><div>The wrecked water tower and yard....</div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220246393761444082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge0B2HLbkbfxGyldRlZKyK4HbhvwJey5NRji1hmcmtuYYTrPZ4PrxBS5XNEfQDhG_R7kRhhdMFU5pYGCKapnmGPZPIMx7FSjEknMpp-jCRKRUuwFPfvfzGaZHRB4V2k99Qx-PUjeuysa9S/s400/jul+004.JPG" border="0" />What MILLY had to say about the incident.....</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220246707334803778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-_TIgDD52i-hzNjWH7YaJcVBtG-nGo7wA8dS3ocyU9nhHP-oYBzHn_uSgt1cd2eewguTwrajaltcCiTqviSfp1cUE5BvFGHpxx0TUwIyuyPB2nbwEflxRufxTYu1CuHel3UWj0LBCpt62/s400/jul+006.JPG" border="0" />MILLY and my Boxer dog ODIN recovering after a game of rugby...<br /><p></p>Steve hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08079284842321565503noreply@blogger.com1
