I WISH I WAS . . . . A WILDWEST HERO . . . .

Deciding to take a crack at Dracula's America has awakened something in me, so I've been looking at suitable Old West Miniatures Ranges to expand my existing collection of Historical (and Semi Historical) Western Miniatures.

I've got almost all of the older styled Blackwater Gulch Miniatures, plus loads of Artizan too - but the "lead hoarder" in me always wins out in the end.

I'm not planning to buy any additional Wargames Foundry, as they scale fairly small compared to other ranges - and the Black Scorpion Tombstone Range is leans towards the large side when it comes to compatibility (32mm) with the rest of my Collection.

So I plumped on some of the Dead Man's Hand Range - starting with "The Seven".

I'm not entirely sure about which ruleset to use, I actually own them all in one form or another - so it really is dealers choice. The Leading Contenders are Dead Man's Hand and the old Legends of the Old West.

The Seven are still "processing" atm, so it will be a while before they Arrive (my Dracula's America Nickstarter will be arriving first) - even so, my excitement remains quite high over taking this particular journey.
