Can anyone ID these miniatures?
« on: 17 April 2011, 04:27:04 PM »
I know these are Chiltern, but since there are no pictures on the website since SHQ took over I cannot find what packs these are in. I would be grateful for any help!

Yep, they are definitely Chiltern figures. Originally sold as a set of Victorian Vampire Hunters.

Are these still available?
If so, can you add a link?
Thanks!

Chiltern sold the range onto SHQ but they don't have any pictures up  ::)

They're in the Fantasy -> Victorian Characters section

These look great!  Any idea on their size?  I've heard Chiltern can be big- would they look completly out of place with my Westwind Gothic Horror collection?

They are big and bulky - but nice.

I guess it depends on how anal you are about different sized minatures on the same games table. For Gothic Horror type games where is very much character driven I freely mix all sorts and am happy to do so.

The Chilterns will be slightly bulkier and larger than the westwind stuff, but not much of a difference.

Can't believe I've never seen these before.

Found some decent pics here:

Malamute,
Thanks for the ID. It seems to be the pack VV2501 but something is wrong as it looks like a Mina Harker is included?

How have I never seen these? Great-looking models. And as Malamute said, in a low-model count adventure game it's easy to get away with different sizes and builds. I must have some of these.
