Howdy, are there any or cowboy-esc stuff in warhammer

[Witherking17]

I like cowboys as next as the next guy, I literally live in Oklahoma dude, I got plenty of hats and boots, I'm wondering if there's any faction that has cowboy miniatures or should I just make a fan-made chapter in the imperium. I really like the blood angels and Krieg but if I possibly could play with sum cowboys that would be awesome. But I gotta go protect my home from bandits and forest demons, just sum normal Oklahoman stuff, and then I'm set to wrangle up a tornado or 2 while drinking sum good old jack on my horse with the rest of my posse.

Can't think of any space marine cowboy related chapters - the most "cowboy" 40K models are all xenos.  The ones that come to mind are the Leagues of Votann Yaegers with their dusters and revolvers, plus the Genestealer Cults Kellermorph with his revolvers, a model that is frequently converted to have the hat as well (I a seem to remember a previous version that did have a hat, though that might just have been a GW featured conversion).

 

And welcome!

A themed space marine chapter would be very cool but quite difficult to create.

 

As @Dr_Ruminahuisaid, I think your best chance would be leagues of votann or genestealer cults. With some kitbashing you can create some pretty neat "cowboy" army.

 

Also Imperial guard, come to think of it.

 

See you space cowboy.

Also keep in mind the 40k galaxy has more than a million different planets inhabited by humans, and a lot of those have Imperial Guard regiments. One of them might wear cowboy hats!

 

If you find some good cowboy-themed bits you can always kitbash them with GW kits to make your own cowboy regiment.

 

Closest example I can think of is Victoria Miniatures space Aussies. Not exactly the same, but you can see how that kind of rugged look might translate over to 40k.

When Vanguard Vets could take two pistols, they would've been your opportunity.

Thunderwolf Cavalry are bitey horses :)

Out of left field a bit, but a sisters army with imperial agents support might do with some conversion work. While they don’t really do mounted units, both armies showcase a number of units and minis that dual wield pistols.

 

heh, could even paint the armoured stuff in splotched black and white Holstein pattern camo ;)

 

pretty sure you would need to source cowboy heads from a 3rd party site though, if you wanted hats. Anvil industries has some.

It all depends what you count as "cowboy" really.
Some models like Admechs pistol bois surely can be counted as one and i´ve seen some conversions with kellermorph wearing cowboyhat

If its the background that you are more interested in rather than the aethetic (it doesn't sound like that's the case, but if), then Necromunda may be the setting for you - its essentially the Wild West but 40K and in the ancient ruined underbelly of a city.  None of the models (except maybe the hive scum) really have that aesthetic, though - older versions had ratskins, which were essentially native american Indians, but those have been removed in the current edition, likely due to their depiction being problematic as it contained many of the tropes and stereotypes of Indians inherent to the wild west mythos.
