With the Week One videos in the mix (check the link to see them), we thought we'd have a look at some of the folks in the community who have been working on their miniatures.
TheHobbyLodge's Project
First up we're checking out TheHobbyLodge, also known as laughingboy, who has been going deeeeep into the Wild West Exodus Global Gunslinger League. He has done some fantastic work on th various units from the Showdown At Retribution box as you can see!
The miniatures came to life in no time and I think they look fantastic. TheHobbyLodge has not just painted up The Union though, he has also done a sterling job on The Enlightened as well. If you were looking to try and get some of those an important achievements then this is an example to follow.
It is pretty awesome how different each of the factions in the box are, meaning they should cater to different crowds. So, if you're someone who has decided to split their copy of Showdown At Retribution, you should be able to work out who has which.
As well as painting up the two factions, TheHobbyLodge has also done some great work on building a tabletop fit for the game.
If you want to see all of these miniatures in action then you can actually watch the Let's Play down below which shows off a game in full swing. Some great examples that you might want to follow if you're getting involved in the Global Gunslinger League.
It has been neat seeing someone get into the game from the ground up and enjoy the process of painting up that Starter Set. It will be intriguing to see how things go with the other five weeks of the league!
Elmir's Project
Next up, we're looking at someone who has been working away on all sorts of fun miniatures from Showdown At Retribution.
Elmir, also known as Speed Demon Painting, has been working on some fantastic paint jobs for the various characters in the game. I was really impressed by the stubble work on the character above and the glow effect too.
If you're looking to knock someone out then you can't go too wrong when it comes to Union Belle. Another fantastic paint job which shows off beautiful blues and whites.
Much like with TheHobbyLodge, we also have some videos to check out. See what you make of this painting tutorial showing off how Nikolaï Tesla came to life.
It's neat to see that we have people putting together painting videos and gaming videos in equal measure. Hopefully, we get to see loads more from the community working away on bits and pieces from their collection over the next few weeks.
Benjammin1978's Project
This also turns my attention to the work by benjammin1978. They have been doing something a little different to get inspired for the Global Gunslinger League. They cracked out some of their old miniatures to paint up.
As you can see a lot of work has gone into the blue of the Union here but not much else! So, with the Union being one of the main focuses of the Showdown At Retribution box, it seems apt that they would be getting painted up right now.
Hopefully, these miniatures will find themselves hitting the tabletop soon alongside some of the newer miniatures. Perhaps this is a good way to spur yourself onto painting up some of your Wild West Exodus collection too?

The Project System allows you to upload photos of your miniatures, information on why and how you painted a particular scheme and even show off your Battle Reports! It’s a perfect way to keep track of your hobby!
When you create a project you will see a dropdown option called “Related Contest” click that and choose “Global Gunslinger League” from the dropdown list that appears to attach your project to the League.
All of this starts with the Showdown At Retribution Two-Player Starter Set which you can pick up right now!

Isn’t an influencer someone who scams free stuff by posting on social media?
Well yes but no…. depends on how you look at it and who it is.
But in all seriousness: the term “influencer” really is burned for me. And not only because I read it as influenza. 😉
Actually, it is all “no” there is no “yes”. I never asked anyone for anything or was asked/committed to doing anything. I was offered to get involved I said yes that sounds cool, that was the extent of it. There is not a single person on this site if offered the same wouldn’t say yes (unless they really didn’t like the product).
A real shame when the old green-eyed monsters show up just because some was thrown a slither of generosity. What a shame people cant just “oh that’s cool”.
Yup – this is just cool people doing cool things 🙂
Martin I don’t think there is anything green eyed here. As I take it pagan8th just doesn’t likes the term “influencer” as such. Personally I don’t see any of the ones who joined the content creator hub as “influencers”. We’re all hobbyist who want to share our passion. That’s all. 🙂
ah right…. much like I don’t like the word “scam” then.
yes. I guess it’s just a case of “Comment out of context” and like with most written words on social media can be read (and interpreted) in many ways.
Words, dangerous little things…
great well painted figures an vehicles.
Really well done stuff. I have also been enjoying some of the Youtubes from laughingboy.
