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.

I'm loving ripper street and these are the words I've bee
Waiting to hear since it started.

Well you can but imagine the joy for Charles and I when Ripper Street was announced by the BBC and then turned out to be so good. There's us doing final edits to the rules and talking through the figure sculpts with Nick and then this turns up with such brilliant characters.

Be assured that the rules will allow you to field H Division in all its gory glory, and I am sure that Steve Saleh's sculpts will do it justice.

Cheers,
Craig.

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

Why not have yetis in Victorian London?
Any Dr Who fan who is old enough to recall the 1960s will remenber that robotic ones were a menace in London in 1968.
I see no problem with using them in a Victorian setting and would be happy to set up a yeti sanctuary for unwanted ones....well, within limits, maybe just 4 or 5

I'm really looking forward to these rules. They will be a refreshing change and the small company size allows multiple forces to be easily and cheaply accumulated.

As for what force to collect, as I'm a big Ripper Street fan the first company I will get has to be the police - but they will need a second uniformed and bearded sergeant "when we catch him can we kill him".

This may be the time to pull a project off the back burner - the Honourable Guild of Steamfitters and Engineers ... ;)

A small manly tear rolled down my cheek when that dratted Pinkerton killed the brave young Constable.

Once you have the rules and have created your Guild list please let us know and we'll feature it on the upcoming IHMN blog.  One of the key design features of the rules is a full points system so that you can create your own companies, equipment, talents and powers.

The Yeti was smuggled off a steamer for the Dragon Lady by Abel Cain, the self-styled 'Lord of the Docks' and infamous white slaver. What he got in return for such a dangerous job can only be imagined.

That's quite alright.  ;) You can make it up to me in lead. Oh wait! Not like that! Put down that Webley!

Webley? Pah!  My IHMN alter ego uses a Mauser C96.

My dear sir, a C96 Mauser may fire many rounds but a Webley .455 takes a scoundrel down bally well!

And a Mauser is prone to jam - if the Webley does so, just keep pulling the trigger (the next round,(or the one after that will surely go off).
