The one in the right is my favourite, it's very Irene Adler. Very useful figures. If like how austere the faces are, that bit of uptight Victorian menace!

So does the Fistful of Lead along with Tales of Horror address all the types of figures you are creating or will there be gaps on how to handle certain figures?

Yes all the figures  can be used in FFOL ToH.  (other rules sets are available, ;)) You have options to construct your hunting party around any type of figure you choose to use and you can arm them as you like. The rules allow for firearms, melee weapons, bows etc. ToH has rules for creature specific weapons such as stakes, silver weapons, crosses, garlic and holy water.

Ffol ToH also has options for all the traditional Hollywood monsters, Zombies, Ghouls, werewolves etc, its not tied to my range of figures.  I hope that helps.

Yes it helps. I am new to this genre so I wanted to make certain the rules I purchased would dovetail with your addictive figure line.  :)

They will dovetail in just fine with my figures, you won't need to rewrite or add anything to ToH to make them fit. :)

 Part of the fun with ToH and FFoL in general is creating your groups.Each member of the group can be any type of person - Professor, Priest, Adventurer, villager, soldier etc. They will have various traits which can help or hinder their actions or their enemies during the game.
You then get to arm the team member with whatever weapons you choose from the rules. All types are listed.

As an example taking the new Resourceful Ladies pack.

Amelie the Crossbow armed lady might be a D12 leader so she gets the leader trait and the veteran trait (enabling her to use a D12). She then gets to chose other traits, one might be good shot which gives her a +1 to on her to hit roll. She is wearing a cross so might take the devout trait giving her a +1 to resist mesmerism and the Occult expert trait which gives her another +1 to her to hit roll.

Aryanne her twin sister is a swordswoman, so she gets the swordman trait +1 in Close combat, she might also choose the Ferocious trait which gives a +1 to wound rolls.

Now take one of the figures from the Professors pack and give him traits that fit with him being a learned scholar and expert Vampire HUnter. Then arm him with cross and stake etc.

The Vampires in the rules cover various types of Vampire from the all powerful Vampire Lords and Queens, lower class Acolytes to the newly turned Fledglings. So far the Lords are available and the first pack of Fledglings is due in from the casters next week. Vampire Queens and more fledglings will be along soon. A Vampire coven in ToH usually comprises five figures, so you could use any combination of the available figures to make up this group.

Gypsy henchmen are up next to be sculpted and not surprisingly Henchmen are included in the rules.

I hope that gives you some ideas. The FFoL system is a very versatile rules set, you'll need to core set to be able to play, the TOH supplement gives you everything you need to create a Gothic Horror game.
