There's an Iron Creek in South Dakota and an Iron Creek in Alaska, there's an Iron Creek in Idaho and an Iron Creek in southwest Washington State.
This here is a different Iron Creek, an entirely fictitious Iron Creek that stakes its claim to being the wildest town in the Old West...

Black Scorpion's New Earps

"Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything." - Wyatt Earp.

Iron Creek's lawmen have called in reinforcements in the shape of the Earps! These four are the new sculpts from Black Scorpion Miniatures that replace their long-serving originals. These guys look just that bit bigger and bolder than their forebears -- they've got bigger and fancier coats and their legs are spread just a little wider to accomodate the massive (historically appropriate) balls of these legends of the Old West.

As you can see the models are resin. The moulds look good, nice and clean with little cleaning up to do before the paint goes on. Hopefully they'll  be painted up and on the blog in the next week or two.

Inside the package (which arrived very quickly and which included sweets from my local favourite, Swizzles of New Mills) was this flier for the the new game Tombstone, scheduled to hit Kickstarter this year.


I'm excited to see the game itself and even more so for the miniatures it promises, some of which can be seen on the other side of the flier....

  1. Nice more miniatures! I love those BS sculpts but they are making the Brigade, DMH, and Artizan figs I have look like runts :( . Good to see they are expanding their range becuase they are beautiful sculpts that ooze character.

  2. They are grand, in style and scale! I was relieved to see that they fit the 4Ground terrain ok (sometimes they're a little hard to fit under the awnings but it's not been a big deal). The arrival of the Tombstone game looks set to bring in a load more models too which is great news.
