Empire of the Dead: Requiem Kickstarter box received!

   And my goodness, there is a lot of really neat stuff in there. Just to list out what I received:

  • Lycaon Faction (8) - werewolves faction
  • Gentlemen's Club Faction (8) - upper crust human faction. Hunting monsters is jolly good fun, what?
  • Gentlemen with Guns (5) - more upper crust, with guns, special weapons, and stiff upper lips.
  • Bobbies (8) - armed with truncheons and grit. Will convert some truncheons to electric.
  • More Bobbies (8) - armed with revolvers, shotguns, Gatling gun and netgun. Includes Infernium hound. I love the Infernium hound like a fat kid loves cupcakes.
  • Nadezhda Durova, Kickstarter exclusive Vampire Slayer. Nice fig.
  • Tatu, female (Polynesian?)
  • The Jade Dragon, Chinese female. Definite keeper.
  • Aisha, Werewolf Huntress
  • Red, Daughter of the Goddess
  • Iron Head Ned. Ned Kelly. Gotta have.
  • Deathlocke Bones (undead Holmes)
  • The Bad Doctor (undead Watson)
  • White Rabbit
  • Tom Gaunt
  • The Specimen
  • Great Uncle Thulu. Awesome figure, possibly my favorite of the bunch.
  • Raphael
  • The Phantom
  • Her Majesty (God Bless Her) Queen Victoria, with a Gatling Gun. Already own an unarmed version of Her Majesty (God Bless Her).
  • Steam Cannon
  • Tesla Projector
  • Clockwork Butler
  • Lightning Jack
  • Additional Weapon Sprues
  • Token set for the game

   That would be a grand total of 56 new 28mm miniatures. Not all of which I am totally enamoured; some may find their way to the marketplace. With these, and all the IHMN minis still to finish, and two steam tanks needing finishing, and a set of plastic Zouaves still in the box... I have a LOT of 28mm VSF painting to do.

   In the future, I want to get The Brotherhood for my own faction. Plus the Order of the Dragon, I think, for another evil faction. Maybe a horde of Victorian zombies as well. Perhaps the Clickers - I quite like the flying one, in particular. Get the servants pack for civilian zombie chow. And the vehicles - in particular the Hansom cab. And the Omnibus. And the steam exo-skeleton. Maybe the Fire Engine.

   I was planning on using these bobbies with my IHMN forces, but they look too skinny to match up well. Not that they are bad figures; I quite like them, actually. But I may have to buy the Scotland Yard set for IHMN as well, now. Oh well... *grin*

Sounds like quite the haul. I'm about to get the Martian Front KS dumped on me in December. That's going to be a crap ton of 15mm stuff.

Congrat's! My order is likely still paddling over the pond. Looking forward to seeing them unfold
