I ve played some CiC the other day. And had lots of fun. Though it was quite hard to remember all the special rules.
We where all lucky that Tom Weiss was present to help us with the rules...
Was a great evening... :)
Here is a pic from my Romanian Vamps, lead by Lord Orloc, his to sons Herbert and Bruno and some evil Cossacks with a cossak leader.

Very cool.
I see you got your wagon in the shot.
Well done.
Will we be seeing more photos, (I hope)?
-
Please say you took more photos. Looks great. The Blue Moon vamps look really good. Who makes the Cossacks?

@jet
I did take some pics, but they came out pretty dark. I tried to pimp them with photoshop, so to no really good result. But you can see at least some things...
We had 2 big tables at the gaming-night. One wilderness thmed and on called "the red village". This fabulous table was made by a good friend of mine. It has a red theme from houses to trees...
(http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad126/DonVoss_photos/Gothic%20Horror/G1-1.jpg)
The houses are maily scratchbuild and a lot of things come from the new GW-graveyard set. The whole table is full of details.

The first game here was Nosferatu vs. Werewolfs. The wolfs smashed the Vampires with ease... :D
The vampire has a henchmengroup of choireboys... :-*

I couldn't take any ingame pics because I was doing an introduction-game on my small 50x50cm garveyard.
Here was a small 175 GBP Frankensteins creations vs. Gypsies.

Couldn't take any more ingame pics here either, because rules, the game and the redwine where to much a distraction... :D
I'll promise to do better next time... ;)

Very nice board. Looks like everyone had a really good time.
It exciting to see other peoples Gothic Horror AAR's.
Choirboys. lol
-
Excellent stuff, the first photo is my favourite. The graveyard is superb. Your gypsey wagon is pretty good too. ;D
-
Hey, don't sell yourself short.
The pics are fine.
We all get to see a very cool setup.
Love the "Red Village", neat idea.
Thanks for sharing.
-
Excellent shots all around. Were the choirboys a unit of "Human Slaves" henchmen from the Nosferatu list? If so, what an excellent idea.
Anyway, great tables and models and, yes, take more photos next time! It's very refreshing to see photos here of Gothic Horror games that aren't mine! ;)
-
I like them, very well.
-
What a colourful (both meanings intended) table. Looks like you guys had a blast.
Who makes the Cossacks?
I believe they are Foundry, Jet.
-
I love the look of you gypsy wagon.
Your board has some nice detailing especially on the grave yard.
-
I have been looking through LAF for posts on Chaos in Carpathia, and I am very tempted to try the game.
Out of curiosity, who makes the choir boy miniatures?

VERY COOL STUFF...the gaming boards are BEAUTIFUL.
-
I just ordered the choirboys from Westwind... and a Brotherhood warband. ::) Because, let's face it, the FOUR warbands I have painted for CinC aren't enough!
-
Tonight we had our next CiC-get-together.
We where 4 players on 2 tables.
Lots of fun and great dicerolling and aaah some good redwine... :D
I was again too confused to take any ingame-pics, but anyway I show you the pics I did take...
Setup of table 1:

A closeup of my new windmill.

Table 2 and the cool houses by Tom W.

(http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad126/DonVoss_photos/Gothic%20Horror/GA7.jpg)
And here the warbands how were gamed.
French Hunters. Lost both games due to very unlucky dicerolling.
(http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad126/DonVoss_photos/Gothic%20Horror/GA4.jpg)
Gypsies. Won everything due to very lucky dicerolling.
(http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad126/DonVoss_photos/Gothic%20Horror/GA5.jpg)
Tom's cool vampirehunters (british), fantasticly painted, sorry for the dim light.
(http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad126/DonVoss_photos/Gothic%20Horror/GA6.jpg)
And my Nosferatu (the ghoulking with retinue). I played my romanians in the first game and tried out these in the second. They are just some Warhammer miniatures but were fun to play with... :)
(http://i928.photobucket.com/albums/ad126/DonVoss_photos/Gothic%20Horror/GA8.jpg)
Stay tuned for more action. Try to take actionpics next time... ;D

Great update!
Very nice terrain.
I love the different warbands. :-*
-
Wonderful warbands all round. How many points were you playing? The French Hunters seem rather numerous.
-
350 BGP.
The french are not too big I think. There are henchmen in the back, so I think its just 7 activating things.
Really big where the british, with resources: 375p are tough nut to crack... :o
And that played by a guy who writes the house-rules... :D

-
Great stuff. I love the windmill. :-*
I have been thinking about building one for ages, they seem to crop up often in Gothic Horror films: Frankenstein (1930) Brides of Dracula (1960) and the more recent Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman. Might have to make one now lol
-
The windmill is from the gamingset: Dorf des Grauens.

I just planked the walls with balsawood. The wheel or how is it called an the roof, are made of plastic and very sturdy.

The french hunters include a henchmen group.
I played the british who were lead by an Expedition Leader and consisted of:
Expedition Leader
Hunter Rifle
Hunter Pistol and Sword
Holy Man
Proffessor
Expedition Member Handweapon (Axe, Mace etc DN5, can't be parried by sword, cost 5GBP)
Expedition Member Spear
Expedition Member Sword
and a dog.
We're playing slightly updated lists and the supporting characters for the humans (Prof, Scholar and Holy Man) are a bit cheaper in these.
During the game the Vampires kindly presented themselves in a group of three and I was able to throw two viles of holy water at them and got all three vampires under the blast marker. :D

Really... any plans to update the pdf on your website? Just curious. We're fine with the way the lists are.
-
I'll update the .pdf when I'm through with the corrections. There are many typos and copy and paste errors in the .pdf and I needed to clarify some of the additional rules. There are very few changes to the lists, mainly adjusted GBP costs. The "Holy Man" costs 44GBP at the moment whilst a Slayer, who is the much more efficient character, costs only 43GBP.
The changes won't affect the playability of any excisting warband.
