Are you not tempted to try EotD in the 18th C., as you did with Strange Aeons?
Foundry 'Revenant Elves' (specially the female) would easily make great 18th C. vampires.

Not at the moment, EotD is a bit more strict when it comes to miniatures and I have a larger collection of miniatures that would pass for 19th century than 18th century in this regard. But I don't think swapping back a century or two would pose any problem for the rules. it would however require some work to rewrite the existing special weapons that are very Steam Punk'ish.

Let's hope, wait and see, then...
Since I come from (quasi: Hyboria &c...) 'historical' gaming, the concept of a 'compulsory' association between a setting, a set of rules and a range of miniatures looks quite 'strange' for me (if a neat marketing trick  :D)
As for weapons, could not the stats of 'steampunk' ones be used for odd 'lacepunk' ones?

Great painting on the zombies, love them.
It's getting harder not to buy EotD.

Been super busy writing my OOB book for Flames of War the past 6 weeks, but with that finished yesterday I should have more spare time to dedicate on painting.
This is the limited edition Professor Erazmus for Empire of the Dead, really great sculpt. You can either use him as the character he is, or as a Gentlemen's Club secretary "hero" character. I used him as a regular Gentlemen's Club "Secretary" in my game last weekend.

Awesome paint job. I have the figure but haven't really even looked that closely at it. Too much stuff to paint and not enough time/skill to make it happen.

I also agree with the abdul, there's a lot of possibilities in that batch of minis for some cool vampire conversions.

Well I'm torn between half a dozen projects myself at the time so painting on the last couple of EotD miniatures goes painfully slow.

Here is the other Limited Edition miniature, the butler type - which I imagine is actually one of the "Infernium" powered servants that are hinted on in the main rulebook. There are no rules for him yet, so you could either use him as a regular "Membership" for your Gentlemen's Club, a member of the "public" (civilians walking about on the streets - or why not at the Gent. Club?).

As I often have problems with painting black, I wanted to try something different for the butler suit. I also painted the eyes completely blue to make him stand out as “not quite human”.

Shamed myself into getting started with the Gentlemen's club miniatures which have been sitting on my desk for what seems forever. Truth to be told I wasn't inspired enough to paint them and I tried to come up with ideas on colors and such. As it turns out that solved itself once I started painting. Now it's full steam ahead and I will probably be done with the whole gang next week :-)

First "membership" painted up. More pictures on my blog:

Thanks  :)

Another Gentlemen's Club member, I also fixed the bases on Professor Erazmus and the Clockwork servant so that they fit in with my Gentlemen's Club faction.

Second rifleman for the Gentlemen's club, the more miniatures I paint in these "chocolate candy colors" the more pleased I am with the direction. More pictures on the blog:
