I painted up a gang of Black Scorpion minis for a western historicals game a little while ago, and haven't had time to post it up until now. Anyway, here you go:

If anyone is wondering what you play these with, Games Workshop has a historicals line of rulebooks (but no miniatures). One of them is a small scale skirmish game based on the Lord of the Rings combat called Legends of the Old West.

**Enzephalon**

I definetly like them.
Refreshing to see something different.

**Teeffless**

awesome work as always

**Mister Feral**

Very cool! I have the second one shown, but I do rather like the look of the outlaw at the bottom.

**DarkTraveler777**

Pretty cool. How does Legends of the Old West play? Are the game mechanics similar to other GW games?

**Nicorex**

Were they looking for a Preacher on a Pale horse?

They look very good.

Think of something like Mordhiem or Necromunda, but with the Lord of the Rings system as its basis. Small scale games like this make every die roll into a heart attack.

The cowboy in the white hat reminds me of Wilford Brimley, maybe it is the moustache.

great work

Check your blood sugar and check it often

**Sevenups**

Where on earth did you get these!? They would look awesome in a Legion Squad! As the "Desperdos" Anyone got a link to where they can be bought?

**sphynx**

Agreed Seven, i'd love to use them as inquisitorial henchmen...

**kenshin620**

Thanks, and they are. I believe that the War Store carries them in the US. Black Scorpion minis are, in my opinion, the best western historicals you can find, and they're also a good size to mix with minis from Fantasy game lines (a lot of historical minis are just a little too small).

I can see that. To me, he looks like Sam Elliott's character from The Big Lebowski.

Gotta love those mustaches.

I am the guy who commissioned these (and a few more).

Garden Ninja did a GREAT job on them. I use "The Rules With No Name" and "Gutshot" as my wild west rules of choice. Both are great sets.

Thanks for the great figures. I can't wait to see the banditos!

I'm excited for those banditos too.
