In Her Majesty's Name

[Mason]

I think all the sets have got something going for them.

Just not keen on that yeti and those Prussian zombies are a big no-no to me.
Flitting around all of them as I cant decide.

In fact the Prussians are the only set that I know that I do not want.


Egyptians- Great, but I already have enough cultists.

Chinese- All great except for the yeti, but I already have some Tong types....

Currs mob- Love these fellas, even the one with the 'chest and weapon' that M keeps having nightmares about. (Crazy secret weapon for my planned Sikh contingent for SA/Pulp).

Coppers- Waiting to see the sculpts, but dare say I will think of some reason that I MUST have them.


Ohh, the perils of being a butterfly.....

So the Scotland Yard Company will be available from 20th May, right? If one preorders it before 18th April it can still count towards the £37/64/118 rewards though?

That's what I did.

The Scotland Yard Company is made up of a Chief Inspector, a Sergeant and Seven Constables, plus the Dectective and Doctor assistant

[Red Orc]

My understanding is 'seven Constables, Sergeant, Inspector, Detective and Doctor companion'...

[nicknorthstar]

Oh, I've created the confusion on the Scotland Yard set. 

I'm still waiting for a final input from the authors, but I've started the sculptor on:
Chief Inspector (Ripper st)
Sergeant (ripper st)
4 Constables
3 Special Branch (ripper st, Anarchist episode)
1 Consulting Detective
1 Companion Doctor.

I hope everyone knows what the Ripper St ref is about.

Hi Nick,

The Company list is just undergoing an edit and should be with you tomorrow.

I can assure you that both Charles and I are diehard fans of Ripper Street, so i hope you like our interpretation.

Cheers,
Craig.

I haven't watched Ripper street yet. But have seen a couple of trailers for it.

I was hoping for an Inspector Lestrade from the Sherlock Holmes movies to be honest. Maybe as a later release. 

[The_Beast]

...so I hope they are sold seperately later on, even at a higher price....

My thoughts are, and I'm assuming Nick will be quite busy with the roll-out of sets for awhile, some of us will pick up some of those sets wanting a limited number of figs, and sell off the rest.

If the Yeti is the least favored of the Tong, I know I've got my hopes up for a proper re-coup. 

On the other hand, once IN hand... *sigh*

It is better than the trailers, a full-on BBC Drama. Btw don't watch it while eating your tea...

I've been researching that period for the last couple of years while writing IHMN with Charles. I have yet to spot an anachronism.

I don't understand this downer on the Yeti. Not only is is a unique and fitting model for the period and the game, but the effect of a Yeti on the field of play is incredible. You can hear your opponents audibly gulp when it marches on.

Because they know that if they hurt it it gets more dangerous not less, but if you don't hurt it it will pull your arms off and beat you to death with the soggy ends.

I think the Yeti has very little use on the streets of Victorian London, which is often the choosen setting for many LAFers. The model in itself is fine, hjust limited use...

The Dragon Lady is based in London, where she keeps the chinese community in a grip of terror. This is partially because she has had a Yeti imported so she can take on some of the technological marvels being fielded by other companies.

Go on, you know you want to see a Yeti emerging out of the fog chasing Holmes and Watson in a speeding Steam Hansom... 

[thebinmann]

I like the Yeti, and intend to match it (somehow) to the more feral Copplestone Yetis (and their babies), indeed Kevin's paint job makes a clear link too (?). I have no worries about using it, but I can see the points of views of the other LAFers....

[thebinmann]

I do see ot as kind of a King Kong curisoty/pet.....

Quoting myself from a Gothic Horror thread suggesting a proper sculpt of Mr. Holmes in robe with violin...

'Oh, hell yes!'

However, much as I love revealed hidden horrors, it's the imagined transport of same TO London that has me stymied...

Tis the sad lot of a creator; not everyone shares your dream.

I dont see the problem myself.
What with all those travelling circuses and freak shows at the time......
