In a recent game of Legends of the Old West I actually used all four Robot Mummies from my collection of Doctor Who models, as hired thugs.
They didn’t have weapons, but fought in hand to hand combat, by squeezing their opponents.
You can see how I painted them on the workbench feature.
Here are some of Simon’s Darkest Africa figures.

Mules
We used them in a recent game of Legends of the Old West where they were trounced by my posse of cowboys and robot mummies…
Though I was quite pleased how Emmet Gates turned out, I was less pleased with his base.
I first gave it a basecoat of Citadel Texture: Armageddon Dust. Once the paint was dry, I drybrushed with Citadel Layer: Ushabti Bone and then used some Citadel Mordheim Turf.
What I did note was that it didn’t quite cover the coin as well as I thought it would. So for my other Foundry models I decided to use a bit of green stuff to texture the base.
This will combined with the Citadel Texture make the base look more like a base and less like a coin.
Tally Ho! has been an idea of mine for many years now, and sadly hasn’t got very far.
The concept was based around the 1930s pulp fiction, combined with the best of the Indiana Jones films, a smattering of Darkest Africa and potentially some steampunk in there too.
Having finished my Victorian Science Fiction Steam Tank and Emmet Gates, I knew that I did need some more figures. Though I was still painting my Foundry Gunfighters, sorting through some boxes I found some Foundry Darkest Africa figures that I must have bought in the 1990s at some point.
I decided that I would try and paint these up, mainly for use with the Old West rules, but also to inspire me to revisit and think about the Tally Ho! rules and background.
Here are some more photographs of my Victorian Science Fiction Steam Tank from Ironclad Miniatures, with helping support from two Old West figures.
See how the Steam Tank was painted. More photographs of the Steam Tank. See the Old West Miniatures Gallery.
