Post by: OSHIROmodels on March 06, 2022, 01:55:10 PM

Blood Bath in London!

Strange Cultists seen in Limehouse!

Missing Fanny Mystery!

Welcome, Dear Reader to a Tale of Horror!

Your humble servant, Archibald Harris-Hampton reporting on the strange goings on in Limehouse.

Reports came in last week of the abduction of London socialite, Fanny Fitznizentite. Rumours were abound regarding the details of her abduction but your humble servant has managed to discover the truth!

Just yesterday, a mysterious group, reportedly going by the name of The Sons of Anubis forced Miss Fitznizentite into a waiting carriage as she exited her local Temperance Hall.

Taking her to a destination unknown, the cultists formed a macabre procession around the coach as it made it's way through the streets of Limehouse.

Unbeknownst to the cultists, an infamous Limehouse denizen and his gang was nearby, watching a bareknuckle fist fight.

Fortunately, Big Jim Bibbly has never been keen on cultists and set forth with his boys to see what was afoot...

A melee was soon at hand and Big Jim Bibbly set to about the cultists.

But what occurred next was enough to make a man disbelieve his own eyes! A chanting came from the coach and to my amazement, Jim was sent hurtling through the air many, many feet where he was, in his dazed condition, set upon by two of the cultists!

The rest of Jim's gang tried to come to his rescue, but too late...

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/54/2619-060322133648-54445504.jpeg)

Many shots rang out from Jim's boys but with little effect. Even a mad rush by two of the younger members ended up in misery. But not without some success.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/54/2619-060322133648-544461590.jpeg)

Too late to save the day and Miss Fitznizentite (who had been dragged out of the coach by what seemed to be the leader of the cultists mob) 'Whimsical' Fredrick and 'Rifles' McFee managed to down the last cultists before being hideously brought to a premature end by the cult leader...

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/54/2619-060322133649-544471926.jpeg)

A shocking turn of events and in my rush to try and save Big Jim and his boys from bleeding out I never saw what happened to the cultist leader and the poor Miss Fitznizentite...

I will keep my ear to the ground and hope I can discover the whereabouts of the cults lair...

As ever, your servant

Archibald Harris-Hampton (ILN)

Great report. A brave soul to risk his life to bring us the report.

So, all the buildings and most of the scatter are either from the below link or have been scratchbuilt. The figures are mainly Foundry or NorthStar and the cultists are from Eureka. The carriages are from West Wind. Rules were Tales of Horror by Wiley Games.

Cracking set up with great terrain and figures. Looks like a lot of fun was had, even for those cruelly robbed of victory.

Those buildings are lovely. I bet the rules were great too. You don’t happen to sell them both, do you? Really? What luck ;) lol

I actually like the Anubis cultists… Lord of the sacred land, the dog that swallows millions…

Are the recent reports of Big Jim Bibblys death in Limehouse greatly exaggerated.

Will he pick himself up from the gutter and return to rescue Fanny Fitznizentite the Socialite.

All London awaits the answers with baited breath.


An entertaining story from the pen of Archibald Harris-Hampton (ILN), and although the enterprising Photographer's identity remains a mystery for the moment the quality of his work is in no doubt.

These battle reports are just things of beauty.

The terrain and miniatures are to die for. I’m so jealous.

A beautiful table and wonderful report.  Hope Big Jim doesn't get a new nickname such as the gimp, or lefty or...
