Title: Terror on the Moscow Road - Forces of Darkness
Post by: Bogdanwaz on 30 October 2013, 05:10:46 PM

As I posted on another forum, I'm putting together a horror game set during the Retreat from Moscow.  Here's some pictures of the forces, natural as well as supernatural that are opposing the Grande Armee:

Nice idea.

When I first saw your thread I was thinking you were going to go with Vampires as in the book Twelve:

Twelve was definitely an inspiration but the back-story for this game is somewhat different.  Twelve had a great concept but I was a bit disappointed with it as a novel.  I thought there was too much navel-gazing by the author and the protions of the book dealing with the retreat were too brief.

This looks interesting and all those Wolves/Werewolves look great!

Nice work Jeff.  Taking it to Fall In?

Thanks.

I'll probably be running at Cold Wars and Historicon.  I'm running my Weird Science Roman game at Fall In.

I think that is a lot of of supernatural for the French to fight. Why not just go with one Vampire leader for the Cossacks. Like Vladimir Giurescu from the Wake the Devil Hellboy series?

Most excellent! I really love those Blue Moon Timber Wolves. If there was only a way to get them shipped to Canada without paying a fortune.

Got the PM SM. Just one more question for Bogdanwaz - Are those Blue Moon wolves on the same size bases as the werewolves?

Jet, yes the bigger Blue Moon wolves are on the same size fender washer as the werewolves.  I forget the exact size I used.  The smaller wolves are on pennies.

Cool. I have eight of the Westwind wolves in my collection right now. They are beautiful models but they are rather large. I am looking to get some smaller models so that I can field multiple units on the table when I play my werewolves for Chaos in Carpathia.
