Would GW's glaivewraith stalkers and a banshee qualify?

A banshee would be good, though the glaivewraith stalkers are a little on the fantasy side. They could be quite Edgar Allan Poe in the right circumstances, perhaps a few within a group of ghosts?

I'm going to assume that large yellow fungus monsters running amock in a victorian quay and ahrbour constitutes gothic horror. If necessary I shall add top hats and monocles to a couple of them...

american is a little harder for me....

Top hats and monocles for sure. Throw in some frock coats and pipes for good measure.

Anything overtly fantasy will not get the bonus points. If in doubt feel free to ask or pm. The moderators for the board will decide if it's a little unclear.

If they are clearly identifiable as hunters, for example armed with crucifixes and stakes, etc. that would be fine.

Thanks for the clarification.

I may have something suitable.   ::)

The phrase 'things that go bump in the night' appears to derive from the late 19th to early 20th centuries being recorded in a prayer against such things, so it is very much in that period of classic Gothic Horror. If you have a particular cause for confusion please feel free to ask.

Hmm. So, would horrors based on Bram Stoker qualify then? Given Dracula was written 1897 but it's generally had a lot of interpretations which vary in pastiche?

Bram Stoker related Horrors are definitely fine.

Definitely locks down the classic movie monsters for me. I have several I need to put paint on.

I'm looking for an excuse to blast through some Dracula's America stuff - are cowboys ok for round 10? and Vampire/southern gothic OK for the gothic horror?

Thinking I might be able to enter a DA group for each and every round!

Just to double check (apologies if it’s been covered) but can older figures be included in the photos as well as the new ones.

For example, to set a ‘fight’ scene, if I’ve only got time to get one side complete can I use older figures to finish the scene off?
cheers

That is the established practice since before, to help create a scene. You need to add at least five new, however, to get points.
