Gunfighter’s Ball Outlaws from Knuckleduster

 

Next up, The Outlaws, another great pack of minis from Knuckleduster Miniature’s Gunfighter’s Ball range.

I started painting these right after the Gunfighter’s Ball Lawmen’s faction pack, in which nearly every character wore black.

So my goal was to add some color to the gaming table without getting too garish.

I was particularly happy with the way the yellow shirt turned out on the Doboy Taylor figure.

I’d used the same technique to make white shirts look not so tidy, so why not try it with a really light yellow color. It worked, I think.

Here’s the painting recipe I used for this set. All paints are Vallejo unless otherwise noted.
