Witchfinder General - the rules

and just found this...

Witchfinder General: Days of Revelation is set during the period of the 17th Century leading up to the English Civil Wars.

Courageous Witchfinders battle against the many vile abominations that plague a once green and pleasant land. Clandestine vampire factions, aided by their loyal Guardsmen of Blind Obedience, secretly strive to gain ultimate power over a deceived nation. Cruel barguests create fear and mayhem across town and country. Evil witchcraft is rife; vicious werewolves savage the innocent and crazed noctelinger hunt in the shadows.

This exciting new wargame rule book contains 108 A4 sized pages of furious wargaming fun. The game is inspired by folklore, myth and the propaganda pamphlets produced by all sides involved in the English Civil Wars. Witchfinder General: Days of Revelation provides background and rules for using: Witchfinders; angry villagers; clubmen; pikemen; musketeers; dragoons; cavalry; vampires; werewolves; witches; noctelinger and barguests. Designed for use with 28mm scale figures.

damn and buggeration... was going to use Fear and Faith, but may pick this up...

still only the two figures and the gibbet painted mind...

more minor set backs...

sigh... am trying to finish something this month, but it's not working out...

attempts at making tents has backfired slightly (yes I have Renedra bell tents - but not what I wanted ultimately), so that now has to wait til next month to get picked up again - lots has been made and bought for this little project, just not the sodding tents which are at the same time a small part, but big part...

and the Omega Prime bases for the Draconians arrived... lovely casts, completely flawless for quality... but for some reason, in a solid resin base, they are about 5mm deep... a basic base of 3mm which is solid resin, so you build another 1-2mm on top of that? why not take a resin blank and shave it down a mm to build up or carve down into a 3mm blank of whatever material..? the gradient on the base edge is the same, so the top surface area is less then on a 25mm round slotta... I've done some deckplate ones with only .5mm plasticard on top... so why so big? I've been looking online and some timber decking ones are ridiculously thick... and over cluttered, but that's another rant... so to keep things reasonably level, will look at making more of my own... so .5mm thick timber embossed plasticard anyone? so that means the Draconians are put back again... fussy I know...

just need to do the bases on some Federation Troops and I should at least have something painted this month... grains of sand, only .5mm thick see... sigh
