MY Requiem package hasn't arrived yet, that damned postmen! So instead of flying into  murderous rage, I've rifled through Lunatic R.'s parcel again causing him to fly into a protective rage. Once the dust had cleared I'd managed to come away with more photographs of the brand new KS miniatures, which I will share with you my readers.

Again these figures have not been cleaned up nor based, they are as they came in the package. The pictures are a little hurried but I think they will give you an idea of the beauty of the sculpts. We will begin with the Special Characters that Lunatic R. ordered, the KS offered a huge number of individual miniatures to choose from in the KS, there are only a handful here as one could choose sets or individuals in your order and sets won out. His first 3 choices where characters from the wildly popular comic "The Extraordinary League of Gentlemen" Alan Quartermain, Captain Nemo and The Invisible Man.

Alan Quartermain
The Invisible Man
Captain Nemo
You can see how much influence the comic had on these figures. Next up the steam cannon operator:


Now for individual shots of the Bobbies Set first posted here.

So this is the whole set in pictures. Lunatic R. has fallen in love with these bobbies so much that he is putting aside his Brotherhood faction to begin a Special Branch 666 faction using the Special Branch 666 Set found here, the Bobbies Set and the Constable in Perambulator Boots pictured below.
He is now ready to create a fantastic Special Branch Faction, so now I'll have to beef up my vampires to match his supernatural policemen!

That's it for Requiem news from me at least until my package arrives. Next I'll begin my Zomtober 2013 posts.

The Requiem Bobbies Set
Sorry Gentlemen and Fiends this is the only picture of this set I was able to recover of this set from my camera. I hope to take more this weekend.

They have not been cleaned or anything so you can see how clean the castings are. There is very little flash  and when there is its what you would expect. I'm very happy with these figures they are just what I expected and they do not disappoint. These figures mix well with the Special Branch 666 Set  giving the player a variety of weapon options ranging from nightstick to netgun for their Special Branch Faction and providing Peelers to guard prisoners in the "pinched by the Peelers" scenario. I really enjoy dual purpose sets like this after all we are all tightening our hobby budgets these days. This set comes with a note taking Inspector ( Lestrade in a 221 B Baker Street diorama perhaps?), another lantern holding constable and the figure we have all been waiting for- constable in gas mask!!!! No Victorian Apocalypse can be complete without gasmasked Peelers!

So this set may not seem as glamorous as many of the faction sets, but its well worth owning.

Now if Mr. Cooper would only sculpt some zombie peelers we'd have a Victorian Z day for sure!

Here is the Special Branch 666 faction Set in the metal. They have not been cleaned or anything so you can see how clean the castings are. There is very little flash  and when there is its what you would expect. I'm very happy with these figures they are just what I expected and they do not disappoint. These figures mix well with the Bobbies Set ( A set I hope to show in a day or two) giving the player a variety of weapon options ranging from nightstick to netgun.  Please excuse the hurried and rather poor nature of these photos I hod only a few minutes to photograph these and my camera gave out. I grabbed and Iphone, I've never photographed miniatures with an Iphone its harder than you might think.

Here is the whole set in one shot.
The inspector front
There seems to be a slight defect on his coat near the left knee.
The inspector back

Armed Constables front & back
The veteran Sergeant front & back, he as a Mad Max like pose that I just love.
The netgun front & back, this is the first figure with this weapon, I really like the design.

The constable with "the equalizer" front & back
And finally the Police Dog, I am in love with this figure and now I want to field this guy!
 I hope you guys are finding these "in the Metal" posts helpful in relieving your waiting for the postmen jitters or at least interesting. Please post comments below to let me know if you do, or don't.
I have one more to post on the "Bobbies Set" later in the week.

Lunatic R. received his Kickstarter package I took some quick photos of his miniatures in the bare metal before clean up in an effort to give you an idea of what you are getting. They have limited flash and the mold lines are faint.

Here is the 221 B Baker Street Set
This is the set, they are great miniatures with nearly no defects of any kind. My one issue with this set is that Watson, though a wonderful sculpt, doesn't seem to fit with the rest of this set. This is a fantastic set of figures that one can imagine seated in the parlor discussing a case. Watson on the other had looks like he's hunting a blackguard through the foggy streets of London. For this set he should be smoking his pipe or taking notes. He would fit in much better with this set if he was.
