Here's the first gang I've painted up for Dead Man's Hand: The Jackson Gang. I'm using them as Desperados, though I guess they could also be used as Outlaws. They're all from Black Scorpion Miniatures' Tombstone range (the 'Outlaws' and 'Tombstone 2' packs). I'm a huge fan of the Adam Clarke's Black Scorpion sculpts, they're the perfect blend of the realistic and the cinematic. To me this lot look like they're straight out of Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider.
They're 32mm scale but they don't look too out of place alongside the 4Ground buildings and fit inside without problems (thought they'd have to duck to get through the doors). I've deviated slightly from the Pale Rider 'uniform' dusters to help distinguish between the Boss ('Pretty Boy' Jackson) and the Killer (Garrett Cady). All of them, bar Jackson, named courtesy of Mithril and Mage's Old West name generator.
Overall I'm pleased with the way they've come out, though I'm keen to find a decent method of painting faded denim and in retrospect I think it'd have been better to add some variety to the colours of their shirts and trousers. Here are a few close-ups to finish.
