London's Finest

A short post today. With the festivities of the Easter Weekend almost over I have managed to complete one more miniature for my Empire of the Dead collection. My plan is to get a number of the miniatures painted to run a scenario where the police hunt for Jack the Ripper with the aid of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. I still have a number of miniatures to paint, fortunately some of the club members have the necessary terrain for a few streets in London. In the meantime here is one London town's finest.

Scotland Yard Detective

Call the Cops...it's Mr. Hyde!

So my friend, pleased with the Ford AA truck (see previous post) has convinced me to paint up my Empire of the Dead miniatures I bought from the West Wind Kickstarter back in 2013 (I think!).

I had a look at what I had started painting, Victoria's boys in blue and Mr. Hyde. I haven't had to do too much work to finish them, just needed the nudge. So here they are.

Empire of the Dead

It's been an incredibly long time since I have posted any ramblings on this blog. My time has been taken up with other things, mainly my War of the Roses project. However, I was speaking to a friend the other day at a gaming session and we got talking about the Westwind game - Empire of the Dead. Currently there a few factions and the rule book but Westwind's Kickstarter campaign is going extremely well.

So I have purchased the core rule book, for now. I am looking forward to its arrival. Fortunately Bryce has all the factions we need for the time being and we will be using terrain I made several years ago for Mordheim. The terrain should lend itself to the game. I hope to take photos and I will attempt to write up a report of the game. I have also signed up for the Kickstarter campaign.
