Known for the excellence of their Wild West range, Knuckleduster Miniatures have added a touch of the ‘Weird’ to the Wildness with some recent releases. The ‘Orc Amigos’ blister consists of three tough looking Western types, whom just happen to be Orcs in the classic fantasy style. One wears a long coat and wide brimmed hat, armed with a VERY large caliber revolver and a wicked looking blade. The second has a waistcoat, Stetson, with a revolver held loft and what looks like a thick piece of metal worn over his chest. The last wears a sombrero and poncho, in the act of fanning the action of another large revolver with a vicious looking blade stuck through its belt. These are nicely done Wild West miniatures with

Our friends at Warcradle Studios sent us a bumper bundle of box sets for their Wild West Exodus game, an ever-expanding range of figures and scenery for a sci-fi Steampunk background that is full of deadly adventure. The boxed sets sent our way represent factions or Posses from a number of origins. The Wayward Eight and the Deadly Seven are humans, heroes and / or villains of the Wild West with advanced techno-Steampunk weaponry mixed with more traditional trappings. This blend of technology with the more mundane is challenged by the upcoming Absolute Power, part of the Hex faction and the posse of the Third Man. Alongside this formidable Hex Boss is his loyal guardian Kreechur, the insidious Garratt Morden, the scheming Megan Wild, the vengeful Maria

North Star Miniatures continues to add to the Dracula's America range with the Plains Tribe Skinwalker Posse. These are exclusively Native Americans, modeled upon the Sioux. In the Dracula's America supernatural setting, these are the main opponents of the Crossroads Cult. The Dracula’s America: Shadows of the West rulebook has at its heart a set of Wild West rules which work for ‘standard’ games between different groups. However, the core rulebook also contains an entire Weird West background with Dracula and his minions in charge and factions vying for their own objectives. The first supplement, Hunting Grounds, adds to the rules and this Weird West background with new weaponry, supernatural elements and Posses. These new Posses include some drawn from the Native American tribes and acting

GEG continue to release new figures for their horror variant of Dead Man’s Hand - The Curse of Dead Man’s Hand. This new blister pack contains three ‘Cursed' figures (AKA Wild West Zombies). We have a female child, woman and an unfortunate fellow who has had half his body ripped off and is being pecked at by a crow.

Mike Owen of Artizan Designs has created his own take upon the Weird Wild West. He’s added a Victorian Science Fiction element, blended with facets of the supernatural and practitioners of the Dark Arts. The premise is that the Union, using chemical weapons and firebombs, laid waste to the Confederate States using airships and ornithopters. Although the Union won this phase of the war, the Union are horrified when the Southern States use the powers of Necromancy to return the dead to the battlefield. By 1870, the Southern States are a poisoned wasteland inhabited by desperate people. But Confederate necromancy has seen a resurgence, with the undead unleashed in raids on Northern border towns. The war begins again, with Union troops facing off against the risen

The ever-enthusiastic Joe Corsaro popped over to the stand at Cold Wars and handed over some of his latest miniatures from his Kickstarter. These are the ‘add-on’ pieces for those backing the Venus 1888 project but will eventually be made available to all. Each miniature is intended to represent a single female character, so we have a Wild West themed warrior, a London flower girl and her faithful hound, a Victorian reporter with pad and pen and a Victorian era photographer with a ‘Box Brownie’ camera. All are well sculpted by David Soderquist and help to populate the unique take on Victorian Science Fiction from this company. Take a look at our previous post on this range here.

As Great Escape Games build up to the release of the latest sourcebook for their Wild West skirmish game Dead Man’s Hand – The Curse of Dead Man’s Hand - we take a final WIPrime look at some of the new figures and buildings for the game. Figures These first couple of figures represent quite an unusual variant on the undead; zombified animals! The first is a zombie bear, a gruesome and ferocious creature modelled after a Kodiak or Grizzly. These creatures are dangerous to man at the best of times but one can only imagine how zombification will have changed this one’s demeanour! No doubt raised from the dead by Dark Magic, who knows what can be done to vanquish this fell creature? Next is a Storm crow,

If you are a fan of the Jonah Hex and Weird Western Tales comics from DC, then these latest offerings from Great Escape Games will be right up your dusty, windswept and suspiciously quiet Main Street… Expanding upon their original rulebook once more, this expansion for Dead Man’s Hand takes the Wild West in a more supernatural direction, adding zombies, monsters and more. This first figure takes as it’s inspiration the Native American legends of the Wendigo, a sprit creature that corrupts the host, turning him from a civilized man into a ravenous killing machine, seeking to slake its endless hunger with the flesh of others. With a hideous visage and bloodstained hands and mouth, this depiction of a man turned into a monster should be enough
