Title: Old West Vampires
Post by: Inkpaduta on July 29, 2017, 01:51:28 AM
I know that there is a company that makes a set of Old West
vampires but can't remember who? Can anyone help me out?
Yes, I know about the new ones coming from North Star this was
an older line.

Thanks

An interesting idea for a sub-plot, vampire prostitutes stream out of nearby gentlemens club ''twister de mama'' to attack both sides!

They don't look great in the 'flesh', anyone have then painted up?

Quick google search turns up nothing...  :'(

I'm looking for a small vampirish contingent for an 1895 VSF genre graveyard scenario for Pulp Alley to make full use of their Horror rules, so I turned to North Star's Dracula's America Nickstarter. Everything discounted, plus a few extras. North Star offers all figures individually, so that's the direction I went. Am picking up the lovely lady to the right, below, plus the gentlemen in the top row left and right, plus Dr. Everett the lich, bottom photo, to form my four-character league.

And I had to order the rules as well...just can't resist ordering still another new rules set...   o_o o_o o_o o_o

Chap with the top hat at the bottom is calling me, which range was he from?
*found him under 'Horror stories* on Northstar.

They're selling him with the Nickstarter, so he's discounted.  :D

I got the Newline ones at in point and found them to be pretty bad. The new Northstar stuff is definitely the way to go.

I did a bit of searching and apparently these pontoonier miniatures are tiny, almost true 25 mm.
The various monsters look okay though, there are more but Newline doesn't have all of them.

Yes, Very good to know. I will likely go with the Northstar figures.
Thanks for the heads up everyone.

I have that set & they actually scale up to 28's pretty well, I'll post some pictures if anyone would like to see a few comparisons.

Good!
I found this blog with some of their miniatures. No vampires but hodags and chupacabras.
