Victorian Superheroes?
« on: 26 February 2013, 04:30:48 PM »
Wasn't sure where to post this as I was thinking for Empire of the Dead, but who has ideas for Victorian/Gothic/Steampunk Superheros?  I would love to find one for not Spiderman/Batman.

There are some cool concepts like these out there for spidey and friends 

And this fellow has some cool ideas for Bats

Anyone have any ideas for figs that could be modded or stand in? i was thinking Warmachine might have something, but I don't know the range that well...

This same conversation is going on in a few other threads. So far I don't think anyone has found any suitable minis. I still can't believe that nobody makes anything along these lines  >:(. With all the VSF lines & games it really seems like a no-brainer money maker.

I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

Just Google: Batman by Gaslight
You will get a lot of wonderful pictures and the album is realy good. Batman vs Jack the Ripper in Gotham
It doesnt seams to be that hard to convert a heroclix Batman to fit the bill.

I had a similar idea- and I never did manage to find that many figures, but I thought that these Bushwackers made great thugs and henchmen!

Hm...I wonder if you could find a Dredd figure whose head wouldn't look terribly out of place on one of the EotD bobbies?
