Dracula's America - Crossroads Cult

Today I am showing you the minis that make up my Crossroads Cult. Therer is only three specifically created for the game; The arcanist leader, the Harbringer, and the summoned Behemoth.
The rest of the minis - the Mexicans - are from Black Scorpion Miniatures, and again size-wise they are a good fit.

I decided to keep the colours of the leader and Harbringer in red tones, so that they would match the Behemoth, and while the pictures don't really show it, the detailing is quite good.

My friend Michael has played them a few times and they are definitely the best summoners in the game, but have little else but regular gunfighters in their posse.

Here are the pictures.

Dracula's America - The Congregation

Another day and another set of pictures of a posse for Dracula's America.

Today it is The Congregation - the wonderful mix of voodooist and freed slaves etc.

All of the figures are for the Dracula's America range, and they are very nice indeed, full of character and easy to paint. One negative point is that of all the miniatures there is just one carrying a pistol and three spellcasters, even though you can only have one, or two if you hire a Maverick Arcanist.

If have played 3-4 games with them and have found them lacking a bit. The Vessel is far too frail too my liking, but I will definitely give them another go later on.

To make the zombi models stand out a bitI gave them a white dry brush to make their skin look greyish. I think it works quite well.

Dracula's America - Skinwalkers

Finally got around to taking some pictures of my Skinwalkers for Dracula's America.

The regular braves are from Black Scorpion Miniatures, while the Arcanist, beasts and Wendigo are from the Dracula's America range from North Star.

I am especially pleased with final look of the beasts and Wendigo.

The pictures are not the best, but here they are.

Dracula's America - First campaign games

Friday evening my friend Michael and I played two games of Dracula's America in the campaign mode style.

I chose the Dark Confederacy and Michael the Crossroads Cult. Unlike our first test game this featured fully painted minis. In the campaign mode, each posse starts with a Veteran boss and 5 Novice gunslingers, these must be equipped with weapons and for that purpose you have $22. Only two of your posse can be armed with rifles, carbines, shotguns etc., but you can have as many pistols as you want.

Both games were a lot of fun with so much action that I find it impossible to give a report on it. The second game was so intense and swung back and forth that I forgot to take pictures from that game.
After the games we found out we had made a few mistakes, especially with the Revenants from the Dark Confederacy. So the next time we play we will start from scratch again.

This game comes very highly recommended. It runs very smoothly, there are numerous tactical things to consider all the time and the campaign system is the best we have tried.

Here are pictures from our first game.
