The Vampire's Castle: A Pulp Alley Horror AAR

[oabee]

Thanks for all the very kind comments!

Beautiful table and minis, great scenario concept...first rate all around!  I have that same castle, and always enjoy seeing it in use.

Rags, it was reading your AARs using the castle that convinced me to purchase one!  

Lovely set up and very impressive report. I do like that castle, I'm guessing OG is Old Glory?

Yes. Just search for "Dracula's Castle." I got mine at Noble Knight games. Right now they have one for $56 off:

Thanks for that. I had not personally come across this character, so the pun floated right over my head. I am familiar with the Count from Sesame Street, but not this guy.

I am every glad that it occurred to me not to assume that Count Chocula cereal was available world-wide. Although it is one of American civilization's crowning achievements...

What a thriller! Not many scenarios beat a fistful of different cults all going at it for sheer insanity.

I originally had purchased the Vampire Hunters from Annie's Kickstarter and meant to use those, but I had always wanted to do an all-cult scenario so went ahead with that. They were already painted and ready to go, after all. But I am sure those Vampire Hunters, fine minis that they are, will make an appearance sooner or later...

Again, I can't say enough good things about Annie and her lightning-fast service, especially considering I am in the states. As I recall, I made the decision to pick up the brides and werewolf after the Kickstarter, yet still got everything in plenty of time for the game.

Wow, that looks superb! Great table and figures. Sounds like it was a hoot to play as well.

Fantastic! Wish we could have been there.

AWESOME AAR, minis and scenery, CONGRATULATIONS!!! 

Nice to see some of the Bad Squiddo Gothic Minis being used, well painted and in clear bases!

Can I ask who makes that cool vampire's castle?

The castle is on the Old Glory Miniatures website:

Nice table and I enjoyed the read. Using the 4 cults was a nice touch.

I have the same problem as Panama when using a tablet to view the pictures, only see about 60%, so only just got to read this on the laptop.

I liked the ghouls, who makes them, I've not seen them before.

Cheers

The ghouls are a personal favorite of mine, and I've been waiting for a chance to use them. 

Crocodile Games, WarGods of Aegyptus, in the Undead Range. You can find them at Crocodile Games here:

You can find them from a few other vendors as well.

I've reduced the size of the photos so they should display easier. If they still don't fully display, you should be able to scroll them left and right to view them. I know, it's a pain to have to do that.  Or you could download the PDF link in the first post, then delete it off your device when finished with it.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the link, brilliant sculpts.

Another thing about Crocodile Games is that they have about 6 dozen items under the heading Icons & Artifacts that make great plot points and/or are very useful to add more pizzazz to your terrain. Most are Egyptian-themed, but not all.

A particular favorite of mine are the ravens, on the left in this photo:
