Title: New "Werewolf/Wolfman film.

It was meant to be another Wolfman remake/reboot from Universal but instead it is a werewolf/van Helsing straight to disk film.

Suspension of disbelief in the anachronistic required, at the very least.

But, hey, goggles/flamethrower...

Lacepunk?

With luck, either a friends purchase or Netflix will let me give it a look.

A Stetson hat, a Gatling MG... Steampunk, rather (the flamethrower reminds me the gadgetry in the old 'Wild Wild West TV series).
But indeed could easily be turned (as could 'Van Helsing', btw) into a Lacepulp adventure, with a touch of Lacepunk: fire siphon (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hUP4_qyXja0/UBK3O9whhXI/AAAAAAAADnM/n5Z5VTpwAKw/s400/MelnFsi%25C6%2592.jpg)

Puckle machine-gun

Post by: abdul666lw on 14 August 2012, 12:32:01 PM: Possible Lacepunk complementary source of inspiration (http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=277651).
In an alternate 18th C. where monsters exist a (secret) society of professional, alchemically-enhanced monster hunters is almost compulsory :'(

My thought exactly.
Unfortunately, now that Shadowforge minis are sold by Eureka the 'Laughing Monk' range seemingly is no longer available; too bad, it included a few 'NOT Brotherhood of the Wolf' minis
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Dilwnimo0MI/SVNd7EkjvPI/AAAAAAAABLc/0kIlHxK70eY/s400/Shadowforge.jpg)
Brigade Games had (still has?) a 'Characters of Gévaudan' set.
Yet other potentially fitting miniatures (http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=278634) are available, some hidden in unexpected places (http://www.drunkendragoonproductions.com/18thcentimagi-nation/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=46), and I did not even mention the numerous 'Pirates' ranges, e.g. Black Scorpion
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ih5rwnHCgso/TnLNfHTcO_I/AAAAAAAACek/879GhObFgO0/s400/Chasseur%252Bde%252Bloup.jpg)

For a more 'unusual' beast than a lion under the armor, several good possibilities (http://passageoflines.50.forumer.com/syw-pulp-t363901-28.html#p2201033) spring to mind.

Post by: abdul666lw on 13 September 2012, 12:38:54 PM: Thanks, great to know they are still available somewhere for the moment.
Great minis (if a little 'larger than life' for 30mm, let's say all the women are Sigourney Weaver-sized ;)),

unfortunately the razorblades-edged fan of the 'Not Monica Bellucci' Scarlet Woman is thicker than a waffle iron : same problem with the Freebooter Assassin (http://www.freebooterminiatures.de/en/catalog/421) of similar (if less blatant) inspiration.
Not to revive a current controversy, but resin would allow a far thinner (if brittle) fan, I remember details of many old Fenryll minis.
