Knuckleduster Showcase New Wild West Sidekicks

September 7, 2021 by brennon

Knuckleduster Miniatures has showcased a couple of new Wild West models coming to Gunfighter's Ball in the next few weeks. We start with some more of the characters coming to their Sidekick Pack which will offer up companions and hangers-on for your gunfighters.

This range of characters will add more nuance to your games and provide you with interesting individuals for you to bump into during your games. Perhaps you've been sent to save and/or stop Spangles from whatever weirdness he is getting up to in a backwater town?

Alternatively, perhaps you find yourself fighting alongside Chief Old Wohali (Eagle) who knows the local area like the back of his hand.

I could imagine folks rousing him from his slumber so that they can head out into the wild to hunt down bandits and cattle rustlers. I always like the amount of detail that Knuckleduster put into their sculpts and they often straddle the line between the Historical Wild West and the Hollywood version.

Last of the miniatures from the Sidekick previews (so far) is Malachi here. This diminutive fellow doesn't let their size dissuade them from shooting anyone who comes a'knockin.

There are some really fun miniatures in the works from the folks at Knuckleduster. All of them are around the 28mm scale but they are slightly more heroic in proportion. This makes them trend slightly towards 32mm in scale if you're eager to do some comparisons.

Last but not least, we have the Mounted Texas Ranger here which is coming out to sit alongside their on-foot Texas Rangers.

It is always good to have a selection of mounted and on-foot options for Wild West games. There are plenty of moments where combatants get knocked off their mounts due to an errant shot from a window.

If you're interested in the range, don't forget that Knuckleduster also has a game, Gunfighter's Ball. It's always neat to look at different alternatives for a Wild West shootout.
