Did you mean the 'dog-soldiers' of the Cheyenne? The elite fearless warriors.

@3 Fingers and Dinohunterpoa: **Cough**Book 3**Cough**

@SotF: You are of course quite correct- however I just wanted to play around with the lore a little- the Loup-Garou in Dracula's America are a distinct 'species' that live in clans (packs?) deep in the swamps. They are expert hunters, making use of salvaged weapons and their knowledge of the terrain to evade threats and bring down prey.

They certainly aren't shape-shifters, and they certainly are nasty pieces of work!  ;)
Hmm frostgrave gnolls ,with knives ,axes and bows possibly a few with the sci fi arms and then the weapons swapped for revolvers/shotguns/muskets?

Yet another reason to make swamp terrain! Trying to decide where to set games so I can start building, get bases sorted, a board, etc.

Due to current terrain I'm doing the swampy south for some games. Plus I couldn't resist getting some old west buildings so I will also do classic WW. Mind you I have some North African ones as well which can be used south of the border. So in fact I just need to do the frozen north, now if I just knew of a game where that was useful?
        Busy getting a nice large plantation house sorted at the moment, which I'm looking forward to playing with. Kid in a sweet shop me  ;D

Vampifan, you're always welcome, pardner! BTW: I intend to mail you some horrible vampiric creature in the next few days, as soon as I return to civilization!  :D

Always wondered, are the hands meant to be that size? I was planning on cutting off one hand and pinning hand with pistol anyway, but curious.

IMHO the sculpt has big hands and heavily muscular arms to let clear that that lovely dancer isn't human anymore, but already deep in the process of changing into something really monstrous...  ;) Her stance is also totally... PREDATORY! I am planning to add long claws to my mini in order to emphasize her new wild condition as well!  ;D

I had an idea for a Posse made up of lost soldiers from Santa Anna's army who made a pact with Xipe Totec- the Flayed One would grant them vengeance if they secured him fresh sacrifices! They would have a very interesting look- ragged and stained Mexican army uniforms coupled with Mesoamerican style golden ornaments and face masks...

I approve (but, of course I would).

Well mine's been dispatched, so now to wait and see if it lives up to the hype we made for it! Hope so as I just made a lot of terrain for this.

I'm very excited and I  can't wait for it to arrive.  :P
