Gothic Horror miniatures. Where to get them?
« on: October 16, 2010, 07:43:56 AM »
Ok, a couple of you suggested a sticky for miniatures suitable for Gothic Horror games.

I'll start the list with the excellent West Wind Productions. A most comprehensive range.

I'll add the old Gothic Horror range from Citadel Miniatures:





Come up on ebay from time to time, I got a few extras I'll be looking to get rid of soon, most of them not on that release and a few very rare ones who had an unknown release.

Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but the Mantic Games ghouls and zombies are rather good:

For gravestones, there's Mississinewa Miniatures. They make three terrific sets and sell them separately:

Scenery-wise there's also UK-based Fantascene's excellent Gothic line, from which a pretty impressive cemetery could be constructed. 

NP Models (again UK-based) likewise produce some extremely well-done and evocative graveyard pieces, some at very affordable price too.

That's all for the moment...
