An impressive Abyssal Steed, there- I would say it must be Summoned into play, and counts as a Unique Summoning for those purposes. It uses all the usual rules for Horses, but with a Grit of D10. While ridden, the rider may spend an Action to Shoot using the creature's infernal breath- a 4" Fire Corridor weapon.

This is my model.  Do I have the Word of Author that this is an official statline?  If Saul can summon his own mount, that'll keep my opponents' friendly ribbing about Sarai "Murder Angel" the Summoned Seraph at bay.

...also, DA really needs rules for setting things on fire, either by dynamite, happenstance, or malice.

@Dinohunterpoa: That's great to hear- thanks very much for posting that! Great looking terrain as well- I'd love to hear an AAR, what rules-changes they made and the weapon stats they came up with...
Cheers!

The picture of the "terrain" they've emailed me is strangely (almost) identical to the CIA's model of Bin Laden's compound in Abbotabbad... so I wonder it they've been playing a modern version of Dracula's America in their coffee break hours!  lol

@Froggy the Great: Ha, well as long as your opponent is happy to let you use a giant fire-breathing Abyssal Pony, then go ahead!  lol

And coming up with some rules for setting things on fire shouldn't be too difficult...

@Dinohunterpoa: Now that would be interesting to see!..
I now have a Blog, like an actual modern-day human!

I have finished painting my Red Hand Coven faction and have used a mix of official North Star figures and a set from Pontoonier Miniatures.









You can read more about them on my blog here - http://vampifansworldoftheundead.blogspot.co.uk/2017/10/draculas-america-red-hand-coven-faction.html

This should make Dinohunterpoa very happy!  :D

Froggy, Helena has just posted on the FB Players Page what may drive her to start playing Dracula's Americalol

By the way, I've just started to compile a tentative Errata for DA over on my Blog; feel free to stop by and comment if you think you've found any more!

So here's Chrysophylax, a slightly more serious summoned mount.  He can be Celestial or Abyssal, depending on who summons him.

This looks cool.  Really awesome painted models all around and nothing sucks me in and makes me want to try something out like well painted miniatures.  I really want to get an Old West DMH game going but I'm thinking a brimstone infused variation might be a better gateway drug to encourage local participation.  I just need to find a stockist who has DA as I didn't get in on the KS.  Those figures would work nicely with the other OW models I have been collecting.

My Twilight Order got ambushed this weekend and the Boss, his daughter, the other Templar, and the hired Templar all succumbed to their wounds.  Two of the survivors lost an eye and nearly all the rest had a limp.  They've withdrawn to Peoria to reconsider their options and maybe retire.

Wow, what a massacre ... On the other hand, such moments mean also great wargaming stories :)
