Title: Fistful of Lead: Tales of Horror- The Black Heart of Darkness
Post by: BaronVonJ on March 15, 2019, 03:15:43 PM

"Hello, my Dearies. Grandpa Gruesome here with another Tale of Horror.
It seems that nasty vampire Baron Blackheart is up to his old tricks, feeding on the locals, stealing young girls to make into his brides and generally terrorizing the countryside.
You know, having fun.
But the regional powers are trying to enter the 20th century and they just can't this sort of thing going on. Enter the do gooders. They're trying to destroy Baron Blackheart's tombs, leaving him with nowhere to go come sun up."

Splendid read. ;D

We have the same trouble with dispatching the Undead and hunter mortality.

 The temptation is to charge in straight away brandishing stakes etc, which usually ends badly for the hunter. lol

Wearing them down with shock first is by far the most sensible suggestion. ;) :)

Really good, I enjoyed that. Nice to see the rules used in that setting too.

Or in the case of small, troublesome boys, roll really high.

If you're at SALUTE, you can try them out! Otherwise, they core book and the Tales of Horror supplement come out that same weekend.

I’ve been wanting a Fistful of Lead rule set and this will definitley be the one.

I understand Highgate Miniatures will be releasing some 28mm figs to go with these rules.

They certainly are, and very nice they are too. They will be released at Salute and they will be available from Oshiro Model Terrain. I can't make Salute, unfortunately but I'll definitely be ordering them.

Just remember this IS NOT a stand alone ruleset. You'll need the Fistful of Lead Core book or at least Galactic Heroes to play. The Core book will be available same time as ToH.

I'm a big fan of the Fistful of Lead rules. Highly recommended.  Looking forward to getting my hands on this set.

Not to pick a nit with a very nicely sculpted set of figures, but the tophatted gentleman with the revolver and lantern could use a half size bigger hat.

It was his father's. He was brutally killed by vampires and the hat was all that was left. He treasures that hat.  :'(

I don't know whether it's significant, but the (presumed) vampires all appear to be either dancing or singing, while the armed and equipped gentlemen give the impression that they're patiently waiting for them to finish so that they can administer the panel's judgement. I assume a character with stake and hammer will be making an appearance?

Somewhat wandering off topic now so back to the game; will this be part of a bigger campaign you are playing?

As promised, ordered my copy (along with Galactic Heroes and Codex Galactica) first thing this morning!
