Snakessss!
Sometimes you need to ramp up your gunfights with snakes. Wagon Finale
Half way through painting the base with Army Painter Desert Yellow. 
Next I drybrushed the base with Army Painter Skeleton Bone and used PVC glue to add some clump foliage. 
I used superglue to glue the wagon into place. 
Finished! More Wagon Stuff
With the base covered in PVC glue, I covered it in sand. I briefly added the wagon to mark where the wheels will make contact with the base. 
With the contact points marked, I removed the wagon to make it easier to paint when the glue dries. Back to the Wagon
Finished up the team of horses. I also base coated the wagon’s MDF base in Army Painter Desert Yellow, then positioned the wagon and horses, then glued the horses in place and removed the wagon. I then used some base filler to even out the puddle bases in the horses before going to the next step.
I positioned the horses and wagon to work out where everything should go. Once satisfied I glued one horse into place and let the superglue dry before going on to the next step. 
Here I just repeated the first step with the second horse. Once I glued the second horse in place, I removed the wagon again. 
Once the glue dried, I added basing compound. Once it dries, I’ll paint it Desert Yellow, then add the sand, paint that, the finally glue the wagon back in place. 
Lawmen Pt 2
I’ve started applying washes on most of the minis. Once that’s finished I’ll start drybrushing and finish up the bases. They’re all pretty glossy at this point but will look better once they get a matte coat.
Lawmen Pt 1
Generally speaking when painting figures, I generally start from the skin and work out. So after the skin, shirts, beards, ties are usually next. Then vests, jackets and hats. Specific details like holsters and belts get worked in depending in location and surrounding details.
First pass, just a couple of colors laid in. 
Most of the basic colors are laid in. Cleanup, washes and dry brushing are next.
First Posse Started
With the terrain and civilians mostly done, I’ve started on the first posse, the Lawmen. In Fistful of Lead, you usually only have five people but the Dead Man’s Hand posses are seven figures, so I’ll have a variety of figures to choose from.
The Great Escape Games figures are pretty good but removing seam lines and flas is required on all figures. Fortunately it only takes five to ten minutes each.
Once cleaned up, I super glued the figures to the bases. I then used a base filler to blend the puddle bases into the rest of the base. 
Once the base filler dried, I spread PVC glue on the base and dipped the bases in sand. Once that dried, I primed everything white.
