Off The Shelf: Cowboy Wars!

Just saw True Grit today and it was magnificent! An Oscar-worthy performance from Jeff Bridges reprising the role of Rooster Cogburn. Anyway, it motivated me to dig out some of my Cowboy Wars figures from a few years back. We played the hell out of Legends of the Old West (I love that game!) and we mainly used CW figures to do it.

Here are shots of two of my favorites from the line that I use in most of my gangs:



As you can see from the above shot, the best thing about the CW line is that you get the figure both mounted and dismounted. This is perfect for different CW scenarios.







I'll take some more shots of the whole gang at some later date. Definitely more where this came from!

  1. Great Stuff! Peter Pig does a similar range in 15mm and I painted a few some years ago.. But I think western gaming is more suited to 28mm. If I jump scales at any time I love the Black Scorpion western models.

  2. Those Black Scorpion figures are wonderfully sculpted, but they are so big that I think they'd be incompatible with anything in my current collection.
