Black Scorpion Townsfolk 01
In this, the first of two posts, I'm reviewing a couple of sets of Black Scorpion 32mm scale Townsfolk from their Tombstone range of resin cast figures.
The four figures to the left are the Civilians 1 set, consisting of a miner/prospector, a store owner with broom, an elderly fat gentleman and a young lady with umbrella. I haven't named any of these yet. This set costs £9.60 for the four figures.
At the far right is a rambler and Humphrey the dog. I named the rambler as Russell Tucker, or as most folk call him, "Ole Man Tucker." He and Humphrey are inseparable, which is rather appropriate given that they are a one-piece casting. Together, they cost £4.50.
Next up are Civilians 2, which also consists of four figures - a blacksmith, a bartender, a doctor and a middle-aged lady. This set also costs £9.60.
All of these figures are crisply sculpted and were a joy to paint. I will be using them in my Six Gun Sound games and I will name them all and give them character record cards.

Excellent collection of townsfolk Bryan, and your brushwork has really brought out their character - every single one of them looks ready to spark off plot lines :-)
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the kind words, Greg. I totally agree with you about sparking off plot lines from them.
DeleteGood stuff Bryan, I recognise one or two of these figures, I agree they are excellent sculpts, and as Greg says will all spark a scenario or two, or three.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing them on the table.
Thank you kindly. I certainly recognise some of these figures from your own Wild West posts. Another Wild West batrep of my own is long overdue.
DeleteOddly enough there are 3 sets by I only have two which just happens to be the two above Bryan but mine look different from your as my painting is not as good :(
ReplyDeleteYou are far too kind, Frank. Blushes! I'll be showcasing the third set of civilians along with the town watch some time next week.
DeleteGreat looking townsfolk Bryan, and very nicely painted
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Dave.
DeleteSome great sculpted and painting there Bryan!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ray. Nice of you to say so.
DeleteWow, what an assortment of colourful characters you've assembled there, Bryan. Hard to pick a favourite, albeit the blacksmith and doctor look especially good imho. Awesome sculpts and a corking post to tempt the unwary with ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreatly appreciated, Simon. I don't know if it's clear from my photo but the doctor is checking his pocket watch, which is a nice touch.
DeleteThese look amazing dude. Great job
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, good buddy!
DeleteA very nice selection of town-pokes! I am sure they will add much to your games.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Clint. You can never have too many civilians and townsfolk.
DeleteI do like the look of the Black Scorpion models. However they're advertised as 32mm and I'm really concerned that they wouldn't fit well with pretty much any other manufacturer's offerings...
ReplyDeleteIt all depends upon the manufacturer, Hugh. They are certainly very compatible with the likes of Belt Fed Miniatures, Knuckleduster Miniatures, Reaper Miniatures and Shadows of Brimstone, to name but a few.
DeleteCracking looking citizen's Bryan they will flesh out the table nicely.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Simon.
DeleteSorry late to the party again, lovely figures Bryan, strangely I have only a couple of resin figures in my collection, mostly its metal or nothing for me, those these are lovely sculpts. Love the one with the dog best I think, though I notice the young lady has been done in "Vampy" colours coincidence??
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger.
Oops. I almost missed your comment, Roger. It is pure coincidence that the lady in the red dress looks like Vampirella. I simply copied her colour scheme from the Black scorpion website. Still, she most certainly could double up as Vampi. Food for thought!
DeleteHi Everyone,This was how me and my Boyfriend became VAMPIRES. I got a guy from the internet called Lord who was a VAMPIRE so i told him that me and my boyfriend would love to become a VAMPIRES so he asked me of my Name ,Country, Age ,State , address and in the next 3 days i got the blood sample through the DHL which me and my boyfriend took in the blood into our body and in the next 30 minutes we turned into a VAMPIRE so if you are interested in becoming a VAMPIRE. First: Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books, Sure. I understand. You are young; you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, but how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com
