This was one of the more humorous Artizan miniatures. I instantly thought of Colonel Sanders.
He will make a very interesting civilian for our Wild West Exodus games! We might have to create a chicken shack!

First rule of Book Club: we never talk about Book Club
Grab your library cards and your reading spectacles folks!!! Some serious book learnin' is coming to Wappelville!!
This is Carolina's Books, the newest establishment in Wappelville.
Yes, Lathan has been at it again, creating a truly amazing structure. Just look at all the places where you can play peek a boo!!!
There's plenty of spaces for snipers on the roof, or even some close combat.
You can get to all the various levels by the way of interior ladders and stairways, which is very crucial in a game such as Wild West Exodus.
These covered balconies will allow for a lot of extra action types, as opposed to a more stand and shoot tete a tete.
The arches on the doors, balconies and windows are really distinctive, as it the roof crown.
These windows look fantastic!!! Again, they go so well with all the other design elements.
Of course, more than looks were considered in the engineering of this marvel. Each level gives you plenty of room to actually fit those miniatures!
I was able to get over a dozen figures on the various porches and overhangs with no problem. That does not even count the roof or the interior!!
Looks like Judge Stern is about to go in and grab some more law books...
Did I mention interior? Check this out! This is the second floor. Note the stairways and the ladders.
And for the ground floor. Yes, those are book shelves!! Hundreds of volumes.
And there's even a counter and register where you can make your purchases.
Sierra seems to have an issue over the reading choices that Judge Stern is making. You know what they say about book club?

A bottle of rum
This is the final miniature in the set created for Clash for a Cure.
The Privateer Press buccaneers were a lot of fun!
I do have a set of group shots coming as well! Stay tuned.

The best cookin' this side of the Mississippi
Mad Max? Nah, how about Chef... and his food delivery service!!
You want it hot, you want it fresh? Well... Chef doesn't guarantee any of those things, but his crew of Outlaws can deliver the pain.
This has become the core of my Outlaw posse from Wild West Exodus.
I think a few more Blackjacks and you will definitely get a Mad Max kinda feel to this posse.
While it does not have quite the bells and whistles of a typical Iron Horse, it does have the sneaky ability to crank out tons of shots. I am starting to visualize these as escorts to the Mercenary Sand Buggy.
The idea is to put lots of up close and personal Outlaw characters in some Sand Buggies, and drive them across the board in among a bunch of Blackjacks.
Not only are we talking about a TON of shots (as the Buggies have some dakka of their own), but you now force that inevitable choice of what the heck do you shoot at?
While the armor on all of these is by no means impregnable, if you scatter all the incoming rounds between 6-8 vehicles, those buggies have a much better chance of getting through!
A beast of a man
Mierce Miniatures strikes again, with beastman number eight.
The same fun colors on the skin. It's already been a while since I painted these, so I'm trying not to forget the combo that was involved. In used a little more yellow in these skin colors, which was balanced out by adding greyish purples.
I hadn't had a chance to do blood effects on more 'primitive' weapons like these. Thus far, it had been on 40k miniatures or WWX.

Dancing with the stars
Well, maybe she won't be participating in that, but she's certainly "cutting a rug", so to speak!
The Dark Sword dancing girl was a blast to paint.
I used a lot of the Reaper clear paints on the costume and the skin tones, mixing that in with touches of 'regular' paint.
The rug was printed out, just like the rug I used for the Sierra Icarus miniature.
She's also here:
Ladies first
This is the second of three Privateer Press figures that I painted for Clash for a Cure.
I love doing mini dioramas or vignettes such as these!!!
