In Her Majesty's Name: The Hunt for Dr Moreau

[Luddite]

It’s been two years since the Martian invasion was stopped in London.  The British Government told the world that it was the germs of Earth that stopped these invaders.  This wasn’t a lie, but it wasn’t entirely the truth.  The germs were actually a bio-genetic weapon produced in the Imperial Genetic Laboratories at Porton Down under the auspices of Dr Moreau. 

After several attempts on his life, Dr Moreau is now a paranoid, haunted man convinced that the British Government is trying to ‘silence him’.  He has taken his research and fled to the fractured land of Europe where he’s been hiding in a small Dutch town for the last few months, practicing his vivisectionist experiments on the locals. 

Prussian spies in the region have identified him and now a small military delegation led by the Stromkult adherent Graf Frederic Ichs has approached Dr Moreau to offer him employment with the Preußische Wissenschaftliche Akademie [Prussian Scientific Academy].

British Intelligence Section 6 have become aware of this meeting and has sent a reinforced infantry section under Captain Mainwaring to apprehend the fugitive and prevent his potential defection to the Prussians.

Although not yet convinced to join the Prussian cause, the arrival of the British has encouraged Moreau to at least go with them to escape Her Majesty’s redcoats!

The battle begins at High Noon outside a local watering hole…

A marvellous AAR, full of character!

I won't be home until tomorrow evening when I shall feature it on the IHMN Blog.

Well done that chap!

Great report!

Where are those minis from (I know you've used a mix of this and that, I mean specifically the gentlemen in the last picture, Misters Green Coat and Top Hat)

Thanks!

Both Artizan, from their Wild West range.

The chap in the top hat is a 'gunman'.
The chap in the green coat is a 'pinkerton detective'.

Dr Moreau and his beastmen is an excellent idea for a adventuring company. Written in 1896 so that's in the right time period too!

Battle report was great loved it

Nice. Very entertaining. Any chance of a close-up pic of Graf Frederic Ichs? Looks cool but can't see him that well. Where is the mini from or is it a conversion/scratchbuild?

Its a conversion assembled mostly from GW bits.  The core i think is a very old Fabius Bile chaos marine guard type thing.  I'll get a close up done for you.

Cool. I just thought it looked really unique and would be cool to get a proper look.

Excellent game report and interesting forces. I especially like the use of beastmen as Moreau's bodyguard.

Cheers man. Looks really good. Love the crazy paintjob on the weapons. That's what I wanted a better look at. Good job.
