The Crossroads Cult


The final* posse for Dracula's America is the Crossroads Cult.  I didn't really like the combination of minis in the starter set for the Cult, so I pieced it together from a few sources.

I really liked the Arcanist mini for the Confederacy, but knew I wouldn't collect that faction - I thought it was sinsiter enough to use as my Magister though!


I did pick up the North Star Cult blister to get a couple of key models for a Cult posse - first up the really cool Harbinger mini:


To go with the Hellhound summon from that blister I also got the Behemoth:


I wanted my gunfighters to be wealthier individuals than those depicted in the starter set so used the Bat Masterson and the Dodge City Marshalls minis from the Twilight Order box (also available in a blister from Artizan) to form the core of the posse:


I also picked up Doc Holliday and Wild Bill Hickock minis to give me a couple more well-dressed options (and something other than a pistol in the case of Doc):


This fits better with my vision for a Crossroads Cult posse - men who have gained from their participation in the Cult, but who cannot escape from their master's grasp.

*I do rather like the idea of a Woodland and Mountain Tribe Skinwalkers posse with Bear Form skinwalkers and a Wendigo!

The Twilight Order


The next Dracula's America posse I've been prepping is my wife's Twilight Order.  I browsed around and decided on a mix of minis from North Star, Artizan and Knuckleduster for this posse.

First up from the Twilight Order box set is the Templar:


I also used the Seraphim mini (obviously!) - this was the mini that made my wife choose the Order:


Now for the gunfighters, first up is (not their names in game!) the Dame With No Name (left, Knuckleduster) and Eliza Stone (right, Artizan).  It should be noted that the Dame is supposed to be quite Amazon-esque so is quite tall:


Next are a pair of Knuckleduster minis, Big Nose Kate (left) and Kitty (right):


FInally (for now, I'm awaiting a back order Calamity Jane mini with rifle) are another couple of Knuckleduster sculpts, this time with shotguns; Elly (left) and Belle Starr (right):


The Knuckleduster Miniatures pieces work well alongside the Artizan and North Star stuff - or those of you in the UK Caliver Books is the place to head for Knuckleduster stuff.  Always good service from them too!

The Red Hand Coven


I've been working on some posses for Dracula's America, getting them ready for priming. First up is the Red Hand Coven - basically the Vampire faction in the game.

I picked up the boxed set from North Star to form the basis of the posse, here's the minis from that set that I've chosen to use for my Red Hand posse.

First up, my leader will be the Fledgling mini as it's just awesome:


Here are the Broodkin from the set:


Finally from the set are the trio of Gunfighters:


I also picked up a blister of Pinkerton Detectives from Artizan - the ones armed with shotguns have found their way into the Red Hand:


That'll add a bit of punch and they both feature glasses (or a monocle) so tie in with a lot of the other minis in this posse.
