After seeing some of the great work here I am moved to submit some of my own Gothic Horror miniatures. They're a ongoing off-again/on-again project without any specific set fo rules in mind. That said, they have had a bit of an outing in Fear and Faith Games, but that's about it so far.

Anyway, here's a few of my Gothic Horror miniatures, I hope you like them.

Teenaged Vampire Slayer:



A fun little miniature from GZG. The 'true 25mm' works well to suggest this slayer has not yet reached adulthood.

Alice with Gun:



I painted this for a friend, but liked it so much I got one for myself and used a slightly different colour scheme:



Opposing our heroes is a pale Nosferatu:



Not the greatest photo I'm afraid.

Finally, here's a two photo series of a vampire prowling and about to strike only to have to flee as the first rays of dawn arrive.





So, there we go. I'll add more photos as I take them.

Nicely done, always good to see peoples different takes on the Westwind miniatures. :)

Nice.  I especially like the vampires.

What is the (what appears to be a) church in the background?

Thanks for the kind words. I do like the Westwind stuff - most f the miniatures have a heap of character.

The church is an old Hornby HO or HO/OO church I used for 20mm games but works well at this scale too. It came with the stained glass windows but I modified the roof to be removable and put a floor in the top of the tower to accommodate a sniper of a forward observation team.  The gravestones are, I think, from Steve Barber.

Westwind Vampire children:





I quite like these miniatures. The drop of blood in the lolly looks a bit rubbish but it seemed like a good idea at the time and was what the chap I painted them for wanted.

Here's a Reaper (I think) Vampy Vampress:





Quite a good miniature to paint but not the most practical pose for gaming - unless she always lugs about a headstone shaped folding chair.

Victor F & Creature (Adam Frankenstein?):





Both miniatures are from Eureka.  Quite fun to paint, though I probably went a bit overboard with the handprint on the labcoat. I have the Westwind creature in a box somewhere and look forward to painting it up when I find it.

The hand print is brilliant! Not "overboard" in any way as it tells a story at a glance!

I've let this go onto the back burner lately with the BoB Painting Club. Painted up this chap, a Westwind 'Vampire out of time', which was rather fun a fun miniature:
