Knuckleduster Start A Mexican Revolution With New Skirmishers
July 23, 2024 by brennon
Knuckleduster Miniatures are starting a Mexican Revolution with a couple of new sets of miniatures for use in your Wild West-era wargames. These new Mexican Irregulars would be good for the likes of Gunfighter's Ball and beyond.
Mexican Irregulars Skirmishing // Knuckleduster Miniatures
There are two sets of six miniatures for you to choose from, both feature Irregulars skirmishing and getting into a bit of a scrap. They represent the civilian militia of the period that would have been fighting during the Mexican Revolution. As Knuckleduster mentioned, they could be used to represent the likes of the Villistas and the Zapitas.
Both sets come with rifles and those classic bandoliers that you imagine when you think of Mexican gunfighters. They also come with their kit for fighting on the move.

Most of the miniatures also sport some impressive facial hair and seem like a pair of ace sets for making a characterful skirmishing gang. I like that there's also a mixture of footwear in this set too as some of them are rocking boots whilst others have gone for sandals.
Could you be tempted to pick up these Mexican Irregulars?

Hollywood has a lot to answer for with the distortion of history 🙁 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy So put… Read more »
