Also, I hope that we can find a pre-painted figure to use, since one of the many reasons that I love Heroscape is that I stink at painting figures. |

By the way, keep in mind stats and stuff, too. We have a cowboy with eight range - some kind of long range weapon makes the most sense, right? With two defense, it would make much sense to use a heavily armored fellow.
...and scale, too. It can be kind hard to research a figure's scale, but it's good to know either way. JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: Create-A-Unit 2: Part 8.0 - Figure Discussion
Uhh, we decided on a lawMAN. Actually, I wouldn't mind an Annie Oakley in HS, if we could find one that fit the bill. Like johnny139 said, with a range of 8 they really ought to have a rifle. Could be easier said then done, though. I just looked for half an hour and didn't come up with much (all the best figs seem to be riding horses). |

Re: Create-A-Unit 2: Part 8.0 - Figure Discussion
I did some research on lawmen who had something to do with Indians (Aquilla connection), posse's, died in a gunfight, and/or had a cool name. This is what I came up with...
Thomas I. Cloud (18??-1885) - A captain of the Seminole Lighthorse Police. http://www.legendsofamerica.com/we-l...s%20I.%20Cloud Wild Bill Hickok( 1837-1876) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Bill_Hickok John "Turkey Creek Jack" Johnson (1852?-1887?) - A lawman and gunfighter, Johnson was known to be in Deadwood, South Dakota and Dodge City, Kansas before arriving in Tombstone, Arizona. He worked as a deputy marshal with the Earps and was part of the posse that killed Frank Stillwell in Tucson, Arizona. Peter R. "Rattlesnake Pete" Lanahan (18??-1871) ) - In 1861, Lanahan was employed by the Quartermaster’s Department at Fort Hays, Kansas. On February 22, 1868, he was hired as a city policeman for the newly incorporated Hays City, a position he held until August, when he returned to Fort Hays. In August, 1869, he went to work for James B. "Wild Bill" Hickok as a deputy, but In November, ran against the infamous gunfighter in the Sheriff's election. Defeating Hickok, Lanahan assumed the new position in January, 1870 and Wild Bill moved on. However, some of the rowdy crowd of Hays City were none to happy at the replacement and soon began to plot an assassination. On the night of July 16, 1871, several of these assassins started a fight in the Tenth Street Saloon, knowing that Sheriff Lanahan would come running. When Lanahan arrived an tried to stop the violence, he was shot twice in the chest for his efforts. The Sheriff was then taken to his quarters in the court house and tended to by a doctor, but he died a couple of days later Edward "Ed" Masterson (1852-187 - Born in Henryville, Ontario, Canada on September 22, 1852, Ed and his family moved to Wichita, Kansas in 1869. Three years later, Ed, along with brothers, Bat and James, became buffalo hunters. In July, 1877, Ed became an assistant marshal in Dodge City. Later that year, he was shot in the chest by Bob Shaw during an altercation at the Lone Star Dance Hall. Though severely wounded, he lived to become Dodge City's marshal. On March 15, 1878, he joined with his brother, Bat , who was by then the Sheriff of Charles Bassett to capture two train robbers. However, the very next month found Ed shot on April 9th, while trying to disarm a drunken cowboy by the name of Jack Wagner. Masterson was able to shoot back, hitting Wagner in the chest. Ed then walked across the street to George M. Hoover's saloon, where he told the tale, before sinking. He was taken to his room, where he died 30 minutes later. Jack Wagner also died the next day. Ed was buried in the at Fort Dodge Military Cemetery. Andrew L. Roberts, aka: Buckshot Roberts, Bill Williams (18??-187 - A Texas Ranger, outlaw, and member of King Fisher's Gang in New Mexico, Roberts heroically stood up against Billy the Kid and the Regulators in 1878 in what's known as Buckshot Roberts Last Stand. Sam Sixkiller (1842-1886) - One of the most outstanding members of the Longhorse Police in Indian Territory , Sixkiller was born in the Going Snake District (now Adair County) of the Cherokee Nation in 1842. At the age of 19, he joined a Union Indian artillery company, commanded by his father, 1st Lt. Redbird Sixkiller, during the Civil War. In 1875, Sixkiller was appointed high sheriff of the Cherokee Nation and warden of the National Penitentiary. Five years later, in February, 1880, Sixkiller became the first captain of the United States Indian Police headquartered at Muskogee, Indian Territory . He also held a U.S. Deputy Marshal’s commission that allowed him to pursue these outlaws out of Indian Territory into Texas , Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas, as well as being a special agent for the Missouri-Pacific Railroad, which gave him access to any railroad property in pursuit of any bandit. With forty men under his command, tasked with policing Muskogee, one of the most dangerous towns in the Wild West, Sixkiller and his men dealt with bootleggers, cattle rustlers, murderers, train robbers, and all manner of lawless characters. During his six years as captain, Sixkiller’s most famous event was when he attempted to arrest Dick Glass, a notorious outlaw who led a gang of horse rustlers and bootleggers. In June, 1885, Sixkiller and his posse set up an ambush for Glass and his gang near Colbert in the Chickasaw Nation. When the outlaws arrived, the six-shooters began to go off and in the melee, Sixkiller shot Glass. The rest of the gang were either killed or arrested shortly thereafter. On December 24, 1886, Captain Sixkiller was murdered in Muskogee by two men named Dick Vann and Alf Cunningham. Supposedly holding a grudge against the lawman for a prior run-in, the pair fired on Sixkiller without notice before escaping. |
