Title: Nosferatu faction for Empire of the Dead
Post by: Skrapwelder on 13 June 2012, 05:42:32 AM: Finally got the finishing touches on my faction.

On to the pictures:

Neculai Strigoin, the Graf of the group

His Consort Adelina Strigoin

When in town the Guardian and drones present a stylish front

But once they're out in the country they tend to dress back to their roots

Finally, what would a Nosferatu family be without pets?

Given some luck on the table I may soon have shillings to field them all

Thanks for looking,

Mike

Post by: obsidian3d on 13 June 2012, 06:44:41 AM: So are any of these from the westwind line or have you collected others to use? I really like the first two models, they've got a lot of character!

Post by: Steve F on 13 June 2012, 09:22:28 AM: Is she the mini Steve Buddle sculpted for the "Chick Challenge" painting competition years back (with added hat)? Always liked that mini: I wish someone would bring it back into production.

Great miniatures and painting :)

Post by: Skrapwelder on 13 June 2012, 02:10:30 PM: Thanks everyone.

The Graf is, as Anatoli said from Westwinds SotR I just added the cavalry sabre and some frogging on his jacket.
Adelina is the Steve Buddle CCIV figure and I am eternally grateful to Mancha for finding one for me.
The Cossacks are from Wargames Foundry. The in-town figures were converted from 2 Artizan Pinkerton Agents and a Black Scorpion Cowboy figure.

I've had it as a 'saved search' on eBay for a long, long time. It's possible one slipped through the net...

Post by: Van-Helsing on 13 June 2012, 03:25:14 PM: It's happened to me with Freebooter Miniatures - I get no alert some days and so take a manual look see.

Only to find half a dozen new auctions that Ebays alert never picked up on!

Post by: Big Frank on 13 June 2012, 09:55:10 PM: A nice collection of mini's and very nice paint jobs.
I like the way you've done 2 versions of the guardians. Look forward to seeing more.

Post by: Svennn on 13 June 2012, 10:05:39 PM: All very nice with some very imaginative touches. Thank you for explaining the Pinkertons, I was having a "they do look familiar but where the hell?" moment with those figures - great conversions
Title: Re: Nosferatu faction for Empire of the Dead
Post by: Mason on 14 June 2012, 12:13:33 AM: Great faction with some wonderful, imaginative conversions!
:-*

I have the Pinkertons staring at me on my table, ready to be converted into 1920's Agents for Strange Aeons.
Slightly different converting to be done, but essentially the same idea.
;)

Inspiring as well.

I think the "consort" was available through Armorcast for a while (without the hat though).

I can't seem to find it on the site anymore. :'(

It is a really nice mini.

Hope to see them in action soon.

Very nice indeed Mike! What's next?

Terrain! Terrain! Terrain! Terrain! (to the tune of the William Tell Overture)

I'm working on a EotD campaign to be played at a convention in September. Players will run factions based on characters from a Dickens book with scenarios set to somewhat follow the storyline. I'm calling it "Night of the Living Doritts". Battles will be played out on six different 4x4 tables.

I'm also going to try and have new, user friendly versions of my cast terrain available over the summer. A couple of shops, a terrace and corner terrace design, and a couple of warehouses.

For figure painting I'm actually trying to slow down a bit and paint fewer figures to a higher standard. I plan on focusing on skirmish gaming for the foreseeable future.

So nothing much, really ;)

http://armorcast.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=724 Not quite the same, but still worth having.

Yes indeed, kind of looks like they were sad about the first one being unavailable and made a version almost as good :)

Thanks for the link!

Again, sweet warband. I really like your concept and color scheme.

There she is! That was driving me crazy.

She's very nice, but not as good as the original. :D
