Can't wait to see what Phil Smith does 'south of the border' with his stuff. Very tempted to head that way myself.

It is very tempting isn’t it?  But then again it has everything
GM (me) - you spot a 70 year old grey hair little old lady.. Clutching large leather bound book and a uzi.

“Tom”- “She has a Book!!!”

“Danny”- “I put a bust of M4 fire between her eyes” rolls…

Phil- “if he misses I put a shotgun slug in her face” 

That’s the Delta green baby"

I'm impressed. They posted a photo the newly arrived boxes this morning, showing the piles of books inside one. Four hours later an e-mail arrives to tell me my order has been dispatched  :D

Seems to be getting positive reviews at the moment. Just hope my games group gets to grip with it. Shooting and double crossing, how could they not!?

Just got my copy and the first on my minis in(made two orders) some thoughts...

1. The quality of the book itself struck me first off, excellent production vales in excess of Ospreys usual ''blue book'' style.

2. Some fantastic artwork, in particular the abyssal behemoth looks quite demonic.

3. Interesting variety of equipment, hired guns etc.

4. I like how the supernatural rules are separate add-ons.

5. At first I thought the no duplicates weapon rule to be odd...but give my experience of skirmish games, limiting long guns will stop things turning into long range sniping matches(also its much fluffier).

The mini quality has been good so far, one slight miscast but not beyond my abilities with file to repair.

Mine has arrived. A few minor casting issues here too. None a knife can't sort. The fledgling vampires hands don't look too big in real life, she looks a well sculpted figure (in all ways)
Time to go read... ;D

Quick question, for red hand coven is it two broodkin or one broodsire or one broodkin and one broodsire if you nominate your leader?

Mine is still crossing the Atlantic, but soon!

Glad to hear people are liking what they are seeing.

@Mweaver: Not half as glad as me!  ;) Hope you folks across the Pond get your books soon.

@Kommando_J: It's two Broodkin, one of which will be a Broodsire if you 'upgrade' your Boss in this way. This has no extra benefit in game-terms (beyond your Boss having a better Grit to start with), it's purely for 'fluff' reasons!

Still chewing the rules and sorting how my scarecrows are going to make an arrival. Even got some crows to add. Now need to find some cheap zombicide murder of crows to add to the nasty beasties.

I received my parcel today, which contained the rulebook, the dice and all of the figures. First impressions are highly favourable. I am really impressed and very pleased indeed. A big thumbs up to Fenrir!  :D :D :D :D :D

I'm now looking forward to reading the rulebook and to start painting the figures. 8)

Unfortunately my Nickstarter didnt turn up before I had to leave for a work trip. Fingers crossed it'll be sitting waiting for my return. Got a stack of scenery to put together from TT Combat and then I'll be good to go.

Planning on running a few games at the local club and see if I can get a campaign started. Really looking forward to seeing if I can drum up some local hype. Always been a fan of 'Western' games and being able to throw in Gothic Horror elements is just icing on an already pretty sweet cake :)
