Vampire: The Miniatures

Nosferatu-type Ghouls here. In hoodies (like Hunters in Left 4 Dead) and clambering out of sewers. Found while searching idly for Buffy miniatures, through here.

Not that I use miniatures (a) more than about once every five years or (b) ever for World Of Darkness games, but I still likes the toys, I does...

Nosferatu are the trickiest clan to get suitable figures for, of course, although there are plenty of original Nosferatu Orlok himself. Mantic Ghouls are lovely multipart figures for less modern examples.

The other clans can be represented by regular miniatures painted with an undead pallor and dark clothes - trenchcoats and katanas optional.

Ral Partha actually produced official classic World Of Darkness miniatures, most of whom seemed to have their arms in the air for some reason. I got the Tremere two-pack and never got around to painting them. RAFM meanwhile produced the, er, not dissimilar Fantastique Noir: Vampyre line - the Nosferatu gangster inspired a character in a game a while later. For the new World Of Darkness there are only the clan miniatures for the boardgame Prince Of The City based on the first edition Requiem clan characters.

Were I so inclined, I’d start with this list...

(And for the record, Hasslefree, Artizan and Character Options provided miniatures for The Watch House...)

LEGO Monster Fighters

Playing the classic horror crossover for laughs, as well as for toys.

I particularly like that the villainous plot was actually attempted in Vampire: The Masquerade back in the day. And Lord Vampyre's clearly annoyed bride.

(And just did the math on the parts I'd need to make TWH characters... about ten to twelve quid each.)

So that was Conpulsion. Good game as GM, good game as player, okay...ish game as GM, stormed the pub quiz, offered to do it next year to maintain my amateur status, raised 80-odd with the toy gryphon, tired now.

Hello Joe!

The view from my window.

And for something a bit more cheerful, finally finished a custom figure!

With skeleton - he fights one in the series three opener, albeit wearing armour rather than his general court clothes, making this the second time ASH has fought animated skeletons!
Comparison with a photo

Superlative stuff, hilarious and touching, adorable little crazy kid who reminds me of much-loved family, I've got something in my eye. But now I've expressed the same feelings as everyone else in the audience I'll try and add a personal touch to this response, I'll add that when Woody lost his hat and got it back while hatching the rescue they didn't do an Indiana Jones bit. Weird.

Preceding short was nice and clever but not a gut-buster.

Apparently this year's Claymore starts in... six and a half hours' time.

Good thing I don't care, eh?
