Cracking episode tonight. No spoilers,but it contains some very modern themes.

May be the best episode yet to repliclate on the tabletop.

Yep, really enjoying this series and so pleased to hear they have commissioned a second one. :)
Now with those forthcoming North Star Miniatures I think I'll be revisiting my Victorian games. ;D

I've been planning to return to my Victorian adventure/Gothic Horror roots for a while now.
I lost focus for ages but Ripper Street has really inspired me to dig the figures out again and the New North Star ones (the British faction only) will be perfect additions to my collection.

I'm also seriously considering expanding Boot Hill Miniatures to include a small range of Victorian Heroes/Villian's this year.

Thundercheeks is popping over next week for a game of EOTD, so expect a photo report in due course, that should also get my creative juices flowing. :D

I think I have finally  rediscovered my Victorian Mojo. ;)

I answered first so I get first dibs on trying on the corsets and bustles.  :D

There are a few pics of some of Glynis's latest costumes on this thread:

Has anyone seen Murdoch Mysteries? Set in Canada at a similar time, not quite as rough and with more technology.

I did mention Murdoch (on page 3 of this link) I only watched it because my wife likes detective programmes. I prefered the earlier episodes when he solved crimes with a good deal of common sense, good observation & being up to date with what was then cutting edge discoveries. It later became silly, including famous historical figures & technology way beyond the time frame for the series. Ironically the later makes for better wargames.

Is that the one with Iain Glenn in it? I'm still playing catch up.

Iain Glen was in the pervious one. That too was a great ep and very gameable.

Nooooooooo!

I am really trying to stay away from anything bigger than 1/600th!

You are not helping!

Have you seen the Hell Division concept art on the EOTD kickstarter, two very usable minis there!
