Christmas Presents

[Craig]

Is there a company that you would really like to see and would like me to write?

As it is Christmas I shall select one from any suggestions made over the next couple of days and write it up for you.

[shadowking1957]

Any Edgar Rice Burroughs themed company would be cool

[Schrekenstein]

How about a "special" section of Royal Engineers, making use of the various Weird Technologies (bit like the 79th Armoured Division in WW2 - the "Funnies")?

Hi Craig,

Take a look at Devon Monk's The Age of Steam.

There's an airship (The Tin Swift) with Captain Hink (aka Marshal Cage) and his crew.
Cedar a wolf-cursed hunter, Mae Rowan a witch, the 3 Madder brothers, Sophie Dupuis (an educated woman with some interesting guns), Rose Small (an artificer) and Mr Shunt their arch-enemy who is the stuff of nightmares.

Regards
Mark B.

This!

[Mick A]

A Warlord of Mars company would be brilliant!

[twrchtrwyth]

Suffragettes, including the Jiu-Jitsu trained, cardboard armoured bodyguard unit.

[Dr. Kevin Moon III esq.]

I'd love to see a Belgian company - something King Leopold might have put together when he was throwing his hat into the colonial game.

Some mercenary officers from across the world? cannibal recruits from the Congo? Poirot? (well maybe not Poirot)

[Craig]

Suffragettes, including the Jiu-Jitsu trained, cardboard armoured bodyguard unit.

I already have a Militant Suffragette company in the bag

[Chesh]

Maybe slightly to late for the period and maybe a little controversial...although I will still go on..#

What about an early Ulster Unionist company led by  possibly Lord Carson or James Craig

My first Christmas wish, Santa, would be to sit down with you and develop a Company together, since creating Companies,with the requisite research, is something I greatly enjoy. I would also like an insight into how that devious mind of yours works.

However. I stumbled upon these figures from Hydra Miniatures and would be intrigued by what you would come up with. Valkeeri warriors from the planet Xenon come to our planet in 1895 in search of an important, say, mystic artifact? Mineral? To kidnap Tesla? Or whatever.





They also have rocket sleds:



In lieu of that, and just having ordered eight of the lovely female figures from the Tin Man Kickstarter, I would request a Warlord of Mars Company made up of mainly female warriors.

Those of you who have said 'anything by Burroughs' you'll have to be a bit more specific. He wrote quite a few stories

Mike - those are fine figures, but possibly more Pulp than VSF? 

[Scorpio]

Dr. Moreau's 'family'

The scientist himself, the overseers with their hunting weapons/mantraps, some fearsome predatory hybrids, some herbivorous hybrids, and maybe one massive rhino-ish monstrosity.

Lots of varied close combat beasties, a few sergeant types with long-range help, and maybe even a special rule for lashing out at the masters when "Father" isn't in sight...

A company from the Warlord of Mars series would be excellent (Earthman hero leading red martians) 

[the fallen scholar]

Why stop a just one company?  A whole book with off world companies would be great!!  Your next book could have lists from Mars, Venus, the Moon....where ever.
