Hmmm...wife and I are not as excited about new gangs as we would have been the expansions, since we dont even have our first gangs yet. However, we would probably be in for the widowmaker gang and a bunch of character minis, especially if they are Eastwood and Tomb Stone inspired.

I'd be interested in the Doc & McFly...

The expansions will still be in there, just going to be doing the new gangs too The way I had it set up first was to do all of the expansion packs first, then new gangs but we decided if we did that, we could end up with a bunch of big gangs, and then a couple of extra starters that had no extra options. So this way we can do it so all the gangs will have a chance to get some extras added on too. So, we'll do 4 new gangs, then 8 expansion packs, then 8 more, then 8 more

GET INTO IT!

Easy money:

The Serenity Gang
Hal Serenity and his band of outlaws. Expert stagecoach driver Alan "Dry" Dryson and his amazonian wife Gina. Hired gun Sue Corne, who despite putting on a rough persona is smarter than he appears and loves his mamma. All around fix-it girl next door, Jewel Lee.


The Docs
The Hoover clan loves to help people. As such they all ended up going into the medical profession. However when their hometown, Gallant Fray, was razed by thugs, unrelenting mountaineers known as the Khyber Men, loyal to dastardly Theo Masterson and his associate Dave Ross they set out on a course to bring these desperadoes to justice and lend a hand to whomever needs it along the way.

The three brothers: Doctor Hartnell Hoover, Doctor Patrick Hoover and Doctor Jon Hoover. They are the oldest of the Hoovers.

Their sons: Doctor Tom Hoover, Doctor Peter Hoover, Doctor Colin Hoover and Doctor Sylverster Hoover

Their sons: Doctor Christopher Hoover, Doctor David Hoover and Doctor Matt Hoover

Distant cousin: Doctor Paul Hoover

bbb, PLEASE don't take this the wrong way...

I hope that's your own creation there, and isn't official.

I like your overall creations, and you seem to have done it well.... but the names on that last group.. I can't stand them.
"Hoover."
I worked for a Hoover family before, and THEY were the dastards and thugs. To this day, I don't even like that brand of vacuum.
I couldn't even buy that gang in a game, if it existed.

The Docs are a thinly veiled Doctor Who reference. I think a gang of Doctor Who inspired cowboy era characters would bust a kickstarter wide open, that's why I tossed it out there. Ideally they'd all have seperate hand options so you could make a sprue with just sonic screwdrivers for fun.

I think you'd be better of if you just had 1 doctor and named him "The Doctor"...

Or if you named them Whoover... I had a major issue reading Doctor Name Hoover over and over...

We can halve Daleks too, just paint your mom's favorite salt shakers gold and you're all set

Don't really follow the show much, but I was actually thinking about having "The Doc" as a special character, and in the fluff people would refer to his phone booth thingy as his outhouse since it's the same shape. but then I started thinking if I'm going to do a time traveller reference, that Back to the Future would be fun since they went back to the wild west in part 3.

But we'll see I have stretch goals planned out all the way into the 300k's So far there's the 3 high end backer's characters from the last Kickstarter that will be bonus figs, plus Kurt Wyatt, Dr. Kilmer, John W. Duke, Clint Wales, Nevada Dave the treasure hunter, Dr. Emmitt, Martin McFox, and Ashford Campbell (with boomstick ).


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh, also for Dr. Who reference, I was also thinking of having the doctor character in the asian gang named "Dr. Hu"

I think this season of Doctor Who has them going to the old west too.

Got some new art Here is Janey Bower, the other henchman (henchwoman?). She was done by Wayne O'Connor. She'll be with Uncle Zeke and Hugh Brocket in the Clancy Gang Prospecting Team support pack.



And Lorrie Shakes, she'll be with Christian Kluge and Erik Jurgensen in the Vigiliance Committee Town Defenders support pack. Lorrie was done by Heath Foley.



Going to have the artists get started on the new starters now

Is it still possible even though gulch has reached it's funding goal, to conrtibute and get some of the cool stuff on offer? ( I have no idea how kickstarter works)
I had a look at the rules a few months ago and thought they looked cool, The sculpts are awesome, please for the love of god don't add any skulls.

Well, you won't be able to jump in on the old Kickstarter now that it's done. But as soon as the box sets are all ready you'll be able to order them off our website or get them at your local game store. We'll also be doing a new Kickstarter that you can join in on in about a month or so

Man, that Serenity gang would get my money very fast. Especially with stretch goals of a black preacher, a buttoned-up doctor and his dynamically posed sister taking names.

Please Necros? Pwetty pwease?

It depends how high we get I did add it in to the list though, but first we have to unlock the 4 new gangs we planned (Girls, circus, ninjas & US army rejects), then the add on packs for everything, then there will be 4 more new gangs followed by hopefully plastic horses, and then we'll do new sculpts of every gang leader on horseback.

as long as you don't bring out the aliens from "Cowboys and Aliens", I'm fine with it.

Any way of getting in on this one if someone else ducks out, let me know. As usual, great work!!!

The next Blackwater Gulch Kickstarter is about a month away or so - just start saving up now!

I'm going to have to miss it because I think OTLG is giong to be doing a kickstarter at the same time :(

yeah it looks like we'll both be starting around the same time. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of Kickstarters in October. I would have waited, but it's really not worth doing a campaign during xmas shopping season, and we don't want to wait till January since it takes so long to get minis sculpted and stuff. I don't want to do it right now though, because I want to make sure the stuff from our first Kickstarter is at least starting to ship.

Everything you just said, for us too..

Good luck to you!

Sounds like a good plan, Necros! I'm hoping the local Infinity group may be interested. Will the prior boxsets be up for normal sale by the time the KS launches?

Yep Well, we will send them out to the original Kickstarters first, then prepare everything for retail afterwards. The original sets will also be available in the new kickstarter, so people can add them to their pledge and they can ship as soon as the campaign ends, or they can just order them online if they don't want to wait.

We have the character details for the 4 new starter sets all set now. Artists are about to start doing concepts. We splurged and will be doing the concept art in full color as well, so they might take a little longer to finish. I'll post pics as I get em, but here's the characters so far..

Widowmakers - Girl Gunslingers
Nightshade (Leader) - Gambler - 2 colt 45's, 2 tomahawks
Lily - Doctor - machette, winchester repeater
Oleander - Prospector - Dynamite, 2 tomahawks
Buttercup - Henchman - 2 pistols
Wisteria - Henchman - 2 knuckledusters, pistol

The Flying Zarconis - Old timey circus freaks
Mario Zarconi (Leader) - Doctor - Shotgun, 2 bowie knives
The Bladesman - Wrassler - 2 dueling sabres, 2 sets of throwing knives
The Bearded Lady - Gunslinger - 2 pistols, 2 small knives
Mr. Snuggies the Clown- Henchman - Sledgehammer, throwing knives
Twinklenose the Clown - Henchman - 2 pistols

The Secret Fist - Asian themed railroad workers & martial artists
Mr. Foo (Leader) - Wrassler - spiked brass knuckles, shotgun
Chang - Gunslinger - longarm, 2 pistols, hatchet
Dr. Hoo - Doctor - Winchester, 2 bowie knives
Wu Fang - Henchman - 2 small knives, ninja stars (throwing knives)
Jen Choi - Henchman - 2 pistols, bowie knife

Wilde's Rangers - US army themed
Sergeant Wilde (Leader) - Bounty Hunter - 2 Colt 45's, Cavalry Saber
Corporal Thompson - Gunslinger - Winchester repeater, pistol, bowie knife
Private Connors - Henchman - Henry repeater, bowie knife
Private Watson - Henchman - Longarm, bowie knife
Private Ambler - Henchman - Henry repeater, bowie knife
Gatling Gun
(this gang has 3 henchman and 1 professional, instead of the usual 2 & 2 like other starters. The gatling gun is a special weapon that makes up the difference in points)

I am looking forward to this one!

Widowmakers and Wilde's Rangers for certain!

Will there be options to pick up other gangs than the 4 listed above as well?

Yep, like before it'll be $30 per starter set and you can pick any one you want including the original 4. I have another 4 more planned for if we raise enough cash to unlock them

The old starters will also be available to buy normally too when we launch the campaign or soon after, so you could just buy it online. but if you add it to your pledge you can get free goodies And the original starters can ship out as soon as the campaign is over too unless you want to wait and get everything all at once to save on shipping.
