The Black Tongs set is great...and I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat if only for the tongs/boxers...but the Yeti kills it for me unfortunately. Some great minis for the game though...I'd be more than interested in picking up a bunch of minis if they ever go separate (or even down to 3-man blisters or something).

Shame about that Yeti.

We'll take your yeti if you want to re-home him.
Problem solved.

Have visions of a Victorian Battersea Yeti Home springing up.

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.

That sounds like a deal

I see the Guild as 'defending' technology (for themselves). They exert their influence over which manufacturers have access to new steamtech designs via a 'licencing' system (or extortion as others have called it).

Although often at odds with the government, they are tolerated by those in power due to their usefulness in securing new technology from foreign powers and in thwarting those states' technological aims.

The Guild actively recruits former Navy petty officer stokers and artificers, as well as from former NCOs in the Army's engineering and steam artillery units. This means that a pool of combat trained members is available for 'special service'.

Regarding Ripper Street, can we have a pair of figures at some stage to represent an American surgeon and 'business woman' ?

That sounds rather good - any interest in the Royal Society of Antiquaries Company? I may well have come across just the figures I need too, with a spot of modification

That could make an interesting scenario setting.

Any greens or even concept sketches for the police yet?

Nice detail on the stockings. It must be so very tiresome spending endless hours researching things like that

As an ex-Royal Navy Artificer myself I endorse this message.

For the figures, you'll need to talk to Nick. I'm sure that he's around here somewhere...?

You write it and I'll publish it on the blog. I'm in the middle of a piece describing how to theme, build and balance a company using the IHMN Rules precisely to support this sort of creative thinking.

In Charles and my original brainstorm regarding companies we had a list of well over a hundred from all over the world. We are currently working on a couple of dozen of these, some for the blog and some for ... ow... thud!
