I've just finished this band of banditos (bandidos) to play Dead Man's Hand, a Wild West skirmish game to play with some friends for a laugh.

The whole group

Calvera and El Mariachi

Exquisite.

I love the figure armed with a guitar. Would he bash an opponent with it or perhaps just strum a few Killer Chords?

You've done a superb paintjob on those very original figures, Javier, I guess they are 25 or 28mm? I especially love the ponchos. :love:

Santi.

Wow these are excellent painted and a very good inspiration for the Weston Toy Company Mexicans I want to paint. Thanks for shariing Javier! :thumbup:

And you painted Vin Diesel undercover (XXX)! :mrgreen:

Thank you all for the kind comment guys.
The painting was quick with just diluted paints on white priming and then a wash of varnish with betumen of Judea. One light on the black and the white clothes and that was all.

Ochoin, the guitar is to kill time, the gun for people ;-)

Santi, they're are indeed 28mm but forgot to mention it.

Peter, Vin Diesel? Nooo :xd:

I think XXX is also a brand of tequila or whisky in the Old West but not sure.

Cheers,

I don't agree. The more they drink the more XXXXXXXXXXX will appear! :lol:
