Empire of the Dead Requiem Kickstarter has Arrived!

After a few months of waiting, our box set of goodies from Westwind has arrived.  For those of you who live under a rock, Westwind started a Kickstarter project earlier this year to fund the development of a wide range of new miniatures for their Steampunk Gothic game "Empire of the Dead".

Westwind has done really well getting the miniatures sculpted and out.  Although the estimate of late July has well and truly passed, the updates from them have never led to anyone doubting that the miniatures would arrive shortly.  Here they are coming out of the box:
10% off Voucher

A box full of new toys still excites me...
Here is the Bedlam Brotherhood:


The gentlemen with guns:


The bobbies:

Some of the single models (stretch goals and individual choices):




And that Nadezedha chick that everyone gets:


Lots of painting to do - I want to get a 28mm cityscape finished with my Sarissa Precision stuff ASAP so that when Steve comes back from his overseas trip we can jump into EOTD.  Haven't looked at them too closely, but they look like fine sculpts - not a lot of flash and lots of detail there.  Woohoo - going to be a fun few weeks painting these guys up.

    Woohoo! Looking forward to seeing how you get on with these. Westwind has done really well managing all this. The interest was far beyond what they planned for, but their communication has been great and the finished products are excellent. Happy painting!

      Thanks Paul - almost got the gaming room set up and ready to go. Another day or so and I will have my pad all ready for me to churn through these guys.

      Funny I thought you would be first in line in the UK and us antipodeans last. Must have some other system.

    Exciting stuff! Seeing what Anatoli has done on his Bedlam Brotherhood makes me look forward to painting them up. Unfortunately it looks like we ticked the wrong set of London bobbies as the bobbies with guns were supposed to be on order. I looked back to check out the order form and unfortunately we ticked the wrong one. Hopefully Westwind will be happy to swap them.

      That's a bummer, hope it wasn't my error. You could pop in and see them on your travels.

      Well I didn't visit but gave them a call. They said wrapping them should be fine but now just have to work out how much postage will be to see if its worth it.
