I recently received a copy of the Gutshot Western Skirmish rules that I’ll be reviewing for Tabletop Gaming News – so keep an eye out for that if you’re interested. Unfortunately I have absolutely no suitable terrain for a Western game. So I picked up a $15.99us copy of Eric Hotz’s ‘Whitewash City‘ PDFs from RPG Now.

This ‘Pioneer City‘ set gives you an entire 30mm scale Western town and I’m quite impressed with Mr Hotz’s work. These designs are apparently all based on historic buildings and it certainly shows once you put a few together. All you need is a hot dry wind and a few tumbleweeds to complete the feel of a miniature Western town.

The signage on the front of the buildings adds a lot to that feel as well, however I do wonder if it detracts from the general usefulness of each building. Mind you with a bit of work with your favourite image editor I’m sure you could create some suitable replacements to add more variety to the buildings.

Later: Actually I see Mr Hotz already has an several extra sets of signs for sale.

Verdammnis is a great ‘alternate history’ WWII 28mm website with a very pulp feel and it includes a custom set of rules to use with Devil Dog’s ‘Dogs of War’ system.

Unfortunately Devil Dog Design no longer seem to have a web site – at least none that I can find. That doesn’t really matter because I’ll be playing .45 Adventures and just using this great site for ideas.

Verdammnis has some excellent galleries with superb terrain. I find pictures like these are always great inspiration for my own terrain efforts and let’s face it how could you dislike well painted Zombie Hitler Youth, or Nazi UFOs?

The figures on this site are from the ‘Graven Images‘ UK manufacturer. In particular the Gotterrustung and Gotterdamerung lines.
