You'll be happy to hear then that in book 3, one of the out-of-game Encounters has you exploring a wrecked paddle-steamer!  ;)

Oh aye, and I've also started a tentative Blog- link below, if I can get it to work!

https://lead-mountaineer.blogspot.co.uk/

There will of course be plenty of DA related stuff, but you may occasionally have to put up with some of my ramblings and such. Feel free to comment and ask questions on there if you like, and I'll try to keep abreast of developments both here and there (wish me luck on that!)...

I won't lie; I had help!
I'm hoping that I'll be able to figure the rest of it out as I go along...

Great news!

It is really bad the beautiful Black Scorpion miniatures look like giants next to standard 28 mm.

Indeed, but IMHO you can pick up some of them to add to the mix of your figures, because real people are not build under the same "scale" anyway...  ;)


In the meanwhile, check out the gorgeous Knuckeduster Gunfighter's Ball line of figures - they fit very well with Artizan/Dracula's America miniatures:

There's some good comparison pictures of Old West miniatures here:

Dinohinterpoe: Lovely figures. I wonder if they have EU distribution.

As far as I know, Knuckeduster's website shopping cart is programmed to charge shipping to Europe based upon weight instead of a flat fee, waaaaay cheaper than using the standard USPS as most companies do. You can run a simulation of shipping charges on the "shop" portion of their website, or just get in touch with them!  ;)

Hey everyone, we're having a bit of a disagreement during our game, because we're confused by the northstar model: The harbinger of the crossroad cult retains his weapons... that means he/she can shoot normally, right? Even if the NS model carries no weapons.

Re: Knuckleduster:sadly their shipping for Europe was like 25$ for 5 models and they haven't yet responded to me since I sent them a message a week ago.

He can still shoot, yes, according to the rules. The Congregation minis, while being totally.cool, are entirely inappropriate for actual game play. No arcanist to start, so they give you 3! No zombies til someone dies, so you get 2. ::)
I still love em! But my starting posse will look very different from what they provided.

Regarding Knuckleduster Miniatures, Caliver Books in the UK stock most of their range. Here's a link to them - https://www.caliverbooks.com/figures/catviewer.php?q0dh30l2spchbngvoedv9a1r43&producer=126&range=Gunfighers%20Ball&menu=2
I've ordered from them in the past and found them most reliable. I hope that helps.  :)

Vampifan to the rescue!  ;)

Thank you very much for the link; I've ordered directly from Knuckeduster and paid a very reasonable shipping charge, but as Remington said they changed their shipping policy, in the future I will order from Caliver Books for sure!  :)

As a resident of the UK I'm always pleased when UK based companies have American and other foreign countries' products for sale. It saves a fortune on post and packing and the dreaded customs charges. Even more so with the UK leaving the European Market forcing the value of the pound to plummet. I used to order a lot of figures from abroad but now I'm much more cautious about what I spend and where.  :-[
