Emailed Wendy over at WestWind to check how things are going with their "Empire of the Dead" rules, and got a tiny bit of information.

The release is scheduled for November. Currently they are working on a demo scenario which will show off the rules and ideas of the game. From what I learned the scenario will revolve around a famous London based detective and his sidekick as well as a certain famous London serial killer.

Expect that demo scenario to be reviewed and played with a battle report following here and on my blog as soon as it is released :-)

From what I gather the game will use a lot of the existing Gothic Horror range.

Well I got my hands on some models intended for the demo scenario. Jack the Ripper, Holmes+Watson, female victims and some London Bobbies for starters. I'll create a new thread for my entire Empire of the Dead project in this section of the forum when I start painting next week  :)

There was also a large blister of London civilians and London gentlemen in the demo pack, I'm trying to figure out exactly how many models are needed so I don't paint up more than "enough" since I already have a few generic civilians painte dup from the Gothic Horror range.

Just love Mr Chop!

I was looking for a monstruous chief for a slaanesh champion's retinue, well he will have the job!

Oh and Steinhammer will perfectly have his place in a "the Goon" game. :)


Thank you for the informations Anatoli, that s cool.

Hmm looks nice. I like Westwind's mini's (I'm also waiting on Incursion from the postman). I'll keep an eye on this.

I'm not really a fan of unrealisticaly large weapons!

Still I hold out hope for this game!
 

That's funny; I had the opposite reaction...I thought the minis were cool, but I don't care about a rules release. One of the things that I find truly attractive about L.A.F. is the diversity of viewpoints.

don't really like those cartoon figures, but I hope the rules are good and usable in different scales. Those figures look like Citadel back in the 80's / early 90's. At least the first ogre type.

Soo...  The demo is just the re-hash of the Vamp Wars Scenario?
