For retail, I was hoping for August, but now it's looking like it will be September. Ran into a lot of delays with sculpting. We just have those 2 more figures for Brother Vinni to finish then we'll be all set. After I get those greens, it'll be a month or so to finally get them cast and get a set painted for box photos. We wanted to release all 4 starter sets and the printed rulebook all at once. But in the meantime we'll be getting the first 2 (Clancys and Bloodwolves) done and packaged and out of the way, so Kickstarters can get them sooner. But we don't have packaging finalized yet.. everything takes so long :/
But anyway, we'll be selling everything on shop.gamesalute.com (I canceled my own online store, no need for it now) ... and it will also be available in game shops everywhere. The shops that get signed on to deal directly with Game Salute will be able to get stuff earlier too I think
wow those are great looking sculpts! I particularly like the Doc.

For the second one, it'd be cool if it came with a few hand options, in case you wanted something a little different... I like the sculpt of the body but the hands/guns seem a little awkward.
Supposed to be like a standoff, he's aiming at 2 guys at once, daring em to shoot first
But, with the arms outstretched like that, they'll be pretty easy to convert if you want to. You can snip off a gun hand and swap it with another weapon, or even swap a whole arm out
And here's something else .. Battle Flag (wargame-buildings.com) has a series of wild west buildings. They're going to be customizing a lot of them with new decals and signs for Blackwater Gulch. Should be available soon, but here's some previews
The Blackwater Palace hotel was customized based on their trinity palace.. they changed it to have a flat roof, for sharpshooters here's they'r flier...
And here's Dr. Trent Dougall's office and home (instead of the trinity undertaker).. and the local sheriff's office
I'll be showing them off along with GameCraft's buildings at GenCon

Yeah their buildings are really great. Get a few of them, add in a couple from GameCraft and Sarissa and you'll have a nice looking town. The hotel is kinda pricey, but it is really huge and has a removable 2nd floor and roof, and lots of fine details too. Makes a really nice centerpiece. The other battle flag buildings are all a lot cheaper.
You've got an awesome set of miniatures and terrain for your game - hopefully you end up doing really, really well because you've certainly put the effort into this, and the results show it!
Necros, what is the planned time table for everything being released? By the start of 2013 will Blackwater Gulch be a fully realized game with 4 starter gangs, extra models in blisters, and a full like of terrain?
What are the plans once everything is released? You will you have regular updates featuring battle reports or new scenerios or hobby articles?
Or will you take some time off and relax for a few months after all the crazyness of this year!
Just curious to see what the plan is since everything seems to be going smoothly so far.
Won't have any time to relax Lots of stuff planned
So we're going to start off with the 4 starter sets from the kickstarter plus a 3-man add-on box set of Hired Guns that will be the Norwegian plus bounty hunter and gambler figs I made originally, and we'll have a printed rulebook (plus a PDF). Planning for late summer/early fall retail release for all of that, and Kickstarters will get their orders earlier.
After that will be a 5th gang starter of yet to be named drifters, from the high level Kickstarter backer (they couldn't think of a good name for the gang) .. And then a 2nd set of 3 Hired Guns that will be from the $500 kickstarter backer's characters. No idea when those will be released, we didn't even start sculpting yet.
And then after that there will be a series of 3-man add on packs to expand each gang. These will come with 1 professional and 2 henchmen. We'll do 3 different add ons for each gang each with a pro that's not in the starter set, so in the end we'll have a full 14-man gang with all 6 professions represented. I'd like to also do a full gang box set maybe with a special 15th figure who could be an alternate gang leader as a bonus fig for the big box.
And then, there's cavalry models... I'd like to some day do mounted and unmounted versions of every figure, or at least the leaders and professionals. And if we do horses, we gotta do stage coaches too Need an excuse to mount an old fashioned gatling gun to something...
And then.. there's the whole fantasy/folklore boxed game thing that will be happening mixed in with all these other releases too.
So that's my overall plan for world domination. No idea when future things will be made and released at this point though, still too early Eventually I would like to get to the point where I could have a few new sets of figures coming out every month, for a few different games. I do plan to do lots of game aids and hobby guides and all that stuff too.
I'll be making that live soon, but I still have a lot to add to the game guide section. I'd like to be able to do some how to play videos, but I don't have a camera yet :/
Got my Blackwater Palace model today.. this thing is HUGE. I can see why it costs £100, lots of detail and it's really like a centerpiece model. Definitely worth it too, IMO.
Probably too big for my 2x2 demo boards, but I'll be using it for demos anyway Tried messing with the video setting on my digital camera.. nowhere near HD, but here's a quick video I shot so you can see all the angles and what's inside.
Uncle Paco FTW!

Cool stuff. I've got a smattering of Black Scorpion and Reaper wild west figures, but I really like the character of the masters you've posted, especially Brother Vinni's dynamic sculpts. I'm really looking forward to adding to my collection, the rules seem solid and this game could go over really well with my regular group.
Battle Flag just added a new building, La Maison Rouge, the old west bordello
Going to be giving one of these kits away free to a lucky Kickstarter backer, added the details for how to win on the Kickstarter page in a new update post
At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.
Got a preview of the cover art for the Bloodwolf Tribe Starter Box Set
Also, I know I posted this before, but here’s an updated pic of the Clancy Gang cover. Changed the photo a bit and did some tweaks to the overall template for the box design
Hoping to finally get the updated rulebook done around next week or so
Looking good! Can't wait to have the boxes on my shelf of other boxes of things to paint! (although these will probably get done quick, my girlfriend is really interested in playing)
Also can't wait to go through the new book when its done! Assuming its on PDF at least.
Thanks I may update the photos again still.. Maybe I can find some teepee models at Gencon for the Bloodwolves And I think I'm going to have the Clancys outside the sheriff's office, since I have some mini wanted posters on there. Might fit them better.
And yes the new rules will be a PDF. The new PDF will have less images to be easier on people's printers and make a smaller download. But I have to get the full printed book all finalized first, and then work backwards from there to cut it down for the PDF.
Had some new color artwork done colorized version of El Jefe's concept art plus a bloodwolf guy .. these guys are going to go on the backs of the boxes along with a description of the gang and what's inside and stuff like that
Posted this as a Kickstarter update but just in case you backed and didn't see it .. and you'll be at GenCon
Are you going to be at GenCon? If so, stop by the Game Salute booth and say hi! I'll be running demos on Friday and Saturday.
If you will be there, and you would like to pick up your pledge reward in person, that can be arranged. However, we will only have the figures for the Clancy Gang and Bloodwolf Tribe, plus the Hired Guns (the 3 free reward miniatures). I still have yet to receive the sculpts for the Bandidos Mexicanos and 3 of the Vigilance Committee. They should finally be arriving in the next few days, so I will have those sculpts on display.
So, if you ordered the Clancy Gang or Bloodwolf Tribe (or would like to switch and get them instead) and would like to pick them up at GenCon, please email me (or send me a message on Kickstarter if that's easier) .. and we'll make arrangements and have the miniatures waiting for you. The Character Cards will not be printed until later, so we will mail those to you as soon as they are ready. If you pick up your figures at GenCon, they will be unpackaged.. just the figures and bases. I'll actually be picking up our first big batch of figures there at the show on Friday, so your orders will be ready on Saturday.
Cool I don't think we'll be selling anything though, pretty much just demos and letting some folks pick up their orders ahead of time. Going to be picking up the shipment of figs from Iron Wind on Friday, then packing up whatever orders I have so folks can pick them up saturday

Ah, fair enough then.
We just finished packing/boxing minis last night (aside from our blisters which I'm doing later today). Fun filled tedious work with Penn & Teller on in the background.
and 
WIP
