Going Wild In The West

It’s slow progress on the western table, but I have painted a 3×2 board after texturing it a bit and stuck some tea dyed posters on a few buildings.

Of course you can’t see much of that as I bought some remote controlled lights to put inside the buildings and turned the main room light off.

The lights are a bit chunky, but they are for effect, not realism.

Assembled everything I have so far and slapped paint on the roof of most buildings. Still got a pile of miniatures to paint.

Battlemat is 6×4, but that’s not full width of table (40 inches, I have an extension piece I tag on one side) and from one end of town to the other is about 40 inches.

I am tempted to buy a few more MDF buildings to add some variety.

First game of Dead Man’s Hand Redux should be tomorrow night.

Although there are three buildings in the DMH starter set they are all the same and I want variety on the table, so bought some MDF by TT Combat to add to the ones I had lying around from a western RPG I ran a few years ago.

However… the Pitchstone Municipal set that I bought had no floor on the ground level and I didn’t want to see battlemat when the roof comes off.

I bought some A3 mdf sheets for a different project and decided to cut some sheets down to use as base and spray painted it…

But it was too boring to look at… so I scratched some planks into the surface.

That left the outside border which was too dark for a desert theme, so I used some Diorama FX Desert Sand by Vallejo to add some texture.

This is the result… which is still a work in progress… it’s a prototype.
