This boxed set contains eight 28mm scale Victorian Gentlemen armed with a nice variety of weapons from pistols, sword (sword sticks) and a few rifles. They arrived very well packed in a nicely detailed box. They are nicely detailed not to much to be fiddly but just the right amount.
Very minimal flash or moldlines were to be found. They come with 8 30mm lipped bases and you even get a smoking pipe to attach to one of your figures. (not used mine yet)
Here is the first five that i've painted up so far. Love the pose on this chap as well as his pistol it has a brass knuckle grip to it.
What better to kill a vampire than with a Hammer and a bag of stakes! Nice open pose on this chap.
This next chap is armed with a sword and pistol and wears a face mask to hide his true identity.
Next chap has some long range fire power for the group, sporting a rifle and knife. I attempted to do a striped scarf on this chap.
Another Gent with revolver and sword very nice pose, I like the cross on the chain that holds his cloak round his neck.
The remaining three are WIP as I post as well the N'ver do wells from Foundry and the new Empire of the Dead Holmes and Watson.
What an excellent set of figures. Did the figures come with those paving stone base inserts or did you scratchbuild them? If you did make them, you've done a very good job.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan. I made them myself just smoothed over milliput then use a wet sharp knife to make the lines for the slabs. I used like a putty shaper on the first few (Sir Theo) but the gaps where to big.
DeleteGreat painting! Especially the bearded chap at the top.
ReplyDeleteCheers the Bearded chap at the top is my favourite from the set.
DeleteGreat work indeed. Love the models, and you did them justice!
ReplyDeleteCheers, They are all great figures looking forward to getting (when I have the cash) the Vampyie Clan. There are some bobbies and Le Strade coming soon from some sneak peeks that i've scene as well as some robed monks with firearms
DeleteA great paintjob on them there sir, you have brought out the character of them. I have to say they look mighty fine figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. They are really nicely proportioned as well. I'm hoping they do some more figures with there outlandish wargear thats listed.
DeleteYou are tempting me sir. I do *NOT* need another genre to game in... My wife would just kill me. These are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLOL cheers thats what I said before I started with 7TV and now this!
DeleteOk... so the last two remind me of Jack the Ripper... I dunno why.. maybe it's the top hat and cape??
ReplyDeleteCool figures though and great paintjob once again :)
Cheers, As Johnny states below it was common gentlemen attire at the time
DeleteTop hat and cape, the most common used in that time. And Jack the ripper was a fashion diva ;-)
ReplyDeleteSet is absolutely cool mate! It seems your painting have improved too.
Thank you kindly. Really enjoyed painting these. Again its nice to do something so different to what I'm used to.
DeleteIt shows that you have enjoyed painting them. I know I was not happy with the rules, but seeing the figures has got m thinking again.... I am so fickle!
ReplyDeleteThanks Clint. It all depends on whether you can use them for other things I suppose I intend on using them for EotD, Zombie wargaming and maybe even Strange Aeon's (Possibility).
DeleteCracking work mate - I've been a bit cagey about these guys, but you've inspired me to get some:D
ReplyDeleteThanks Dude. They are really nice mini's.
DeleteGreat set of figures Brummie and you've done sterling work bringing them "to life"
ReplyDeleteThanks Zabadak.
DeleteNice stuff. This steampunk thing is realy getting a revival. An old pal of mine wants us to restart our Bartitsu Academy again as the demand seems to be there. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks never heard of that term before so had to google it! good old Holmes eh!
DeleteThey really are very good Sir. I've been given one of these to have a go at and I have to say that I can't wait. Very, very tempting.
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly. Look forward to see what you do with him sir!
DeleteGreat Minis and well painted, I look forward with excitment to where this project is going to go.
ReplyDeleteCheers the game is afoot!
DeleteExcellent work, my friend! The book and minis are lovely, and your painting does them justice!
ReplyDelete--Scott
To kind sir!
DeleteWow lots of progress! Mine aren't even based yet... :(
ReplyDeleteThanks get a move on then!
DeleteExcellent looking miniatures mate
ReplyDeleteNicely done Brummie - great work on the bases
ReplyDeleteCheers. I'm quite pleased with the bases I didn't like this style of base until I got EotD
DeleteI'm just getting into Foundry and am loving their figures. These are really nice and I love the color choices you made.
