Title: Dracula's Cossack Minions in 15mm
Post by: Whitewolf on 08 November 2011, 06:15:42 PM
Having been bit (ha ha) by the 15mm Blue Moon horror line, can someone point me to some dismounted proxies for Dracula's Cossack guards? I think they need to have matchlock firearms and look especially ornery.  lol

Thanks for any help.

Sorry if this is far afield the topic, but were they called Cossacks in the novel? In the movies? I think they were given other identities, but I can neither recall nor find references on the web. Re-reading the novel is a bit off, unfortunately.

In the novel Dracula is assisted by 'Gypsies'.In the final battle the vampire hunting heroes have to fight their way through the 'Gypsies' to get to Dracula himself.

They also pack his boxes of dirt for him before he sets off to England.

Thanks so much! I thought they were so attributed, but also that a band/tribe/nationality was also invoked at some point, but even the Coppola movie has 'gypsies'. And no 'Romany', as I might have assumed.
