I look forward to cyber-stetsons, native shamanistic "aliens" and dumb deputies showing up here soon.<br />cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-66085966976037284112015-10-14T09:03:19.720+01:002015-10-14T09:03:19.720+01:00Thanks!

Something about gunslingers in frontier towns (with or without wide-brimmed hats) really appeals to me ;)<br /><br />And no problem for the shout-out.

I'm just picking figures which fit the character :)<br /><br />I'm settled on 3 of my other minis, but still undecided about #6 ;)axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-48727881679515035042015-10-14T05:38:18.944+01:002015-10-14T05:38:18.944+01:00I'm a little confused Axiom.

I thought that you had to choose a fantasy mini and RT him/her into a 40K equivalent of a D&D character?<br /><br />Or have I completely missed something? :D<br /><br />Anyway, misunderstanding aside, he looks great! Your right too, his hat looks quite silly, but fits in with the aesthetic really well.<br /><br />Have you got your next mini for this challenge sorted yet?<br /><br />Oh, and thanks for the link to Lead ballony. His stuff is quite good isn't it!<br /><br />Cheers.Mr Papafakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449586265828153638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-64627080083564964262015-10-13T20:52:14.518+01:002015-10-13T20:52:14.518+01:00Ah, your paintjob is great JB.
