Dracula’s America: Nickstarter läuft
Northstar hat die Pre-Order Kampagne für „Dracula’s America“ gestartet.
Die Welt von Dracula’s America:
Welcome to the Nickstarter campaign for Dracula’s America: Shadows of the West.It is 1875, and Count Dracula is President of the United States of America.In the wake of the Civil War, with the country struggling to regain its balance, Dracula seized power. The Count’s thralls assassinated President Lincoln and his entire administration in a single night and, in the ensuing chaos, their master made his move. Dominating the Senate, he declared himself President-for-Life, and now rules the Union with fear and an iron fist. His vampiric progeny, the Coven of the Red Hand, infest every strata of society, and enforce Dracula’s will with ruthless efficiency.Drawn by the shadows gathering across the nation, secretive cults and evil creatures emerge from their lairs to thrive in the darkness of the new regime. Fleeing from the oppression and menace of the East, hordes of pioneers head to the West, hoping for a new life.Dracula’s greed, however, knows no bounds, and his reach is long.
Das Spiel:
Dracula’s America: Shadows of the West is a skirmish game of Gothic horror set in an alternate Old West. Secret wars rage across the country – from bustling boom-towns to the most remote wilderness – as cults and secret societies fight for power and survival. Players will throw their support behind one of these factions, and will lead a Posse of up to a dozen individual models in fast-paced, cinematic battles for dominance and survival.
Der Nickstarter:
What is a Nickstarter?A Nickstarter is our name for our pre-order campaigns. Dracula’s America and the accompanying figure range will be released late August 2017. By joining in our pre-order Nickstarter campaign you reserve your copy of the rules and the miniatures. To reward you for joining in our Nickstarter, we have included ‘Spend Goals’. If you look in the top right corner, you will see we are recording how much money is being spent on the game, the deals and the figures (including the individual Artizan Design Wild West). As we hit the Spend Goals, they will release rewards that everyone who has bought a book or a deal will qualify for. Check out the right hand column of this page for the Spend Goal Rewards.Dracula’s America: The figures.We have designed a range of 28mm sized metal miniatures to accompany Dracula’s America. The figures, in most part inspired by the artwork in the rulebook by aRU-MOR, are the special characters you’ll find in Dracula’s America, the creatures in the Bestiary and the Hired Guns. We have not designed a specific Wild West range as there are plenty of choices out there already, including Artizan Design. We have designed to the Dracula’s America figures to be compatible specifically with Artizan Design’s range. As a Nickstarter special, that range of Cowboys and Gunfighters is available as individual figures for the duration of the campaign. To qualify for the Spend Goal rewards, you need to purchase either the Rulebook, the Complete Deal or one of the Posse Deals. Just buying some Dracula’s America figures will not enter you in the Nickstarter. You are welcome to just order the figures, but your order will be sent out when the figures are on general release, not with the Nickstarter orders

Was ein Quatsch…
Aber Über-Übersoldaten, die gegen Space Elfen kämpfen und einen leichengott verehren sind kein Quatsch?😂
Doch, ja, das ist auch Quatsch. Quatsch kann ja auch cool sein, mich packt das Setting aber nicht so.
Die Minis sind einfach nicht mehr zeitgemäß…
Das ist ein bewusst gewählter Herocscale mit Comicelementen im echten 28m Maßstab.
Nur weil andere Hersteller mittlerweile 34-36mm TrueScale machen ( ich meine jetzt tatsächlich nicht explizit GW 😀 )hat dieser Stil weiter seine Berechtigung. Gerade bei kleineren Maßstäben empfiehlt sich HeroScale, da man mit den vergrößerten Partien (Kopf und Hände) viel ausdrücken kann.
Meinen Geschmack treffen die Minis allerdings auch nicht so richtig 😀
Ein meiner Meinung nach recht erfrischendes Pulp Szenario mit sehr comichaften Miniaturen. Muss man definitiv mögen, aber an sich finde ich es absolut nicht schlecht.
Mir gefällt’s und ich bin dabei.
„Players will throw their support behind one of these factions, and will lead a Posse of up to a dozen individual models in fast-paced, cinematic battles for dominance and survival.“
„Cinematic“ habe ich im Zusammenhang mit der Auslobung von Skirmisher-Mechaniken in letzter Zeit häufiger gelesen. Was soll uns diese griffige Worthülse über den Spielablauf verraten?
Ansonsten finde ich Setting und Minis ziemlich cool.
Es gibt auch wieder den deutschen Versandhändler über den man auch den Nickstarter beziehen kann.
wen meinst du den? finde im M…. nichts:)
Doch, unter „Pulp und Historisch“
gut versteckt Danke
Ich finde das Setting interessant und mal was anderes und die Miniaturen sind zum Teil von Artizan Design oder z.b. Dead Man’s Hand Range.
Falls jemand mehr Infos zum Spiel haben möchte, der kann sich beim Lead Adventure Forum den Thread dazu mal durchlesen, da steht der Autor Rede und Antwort.
Ist in der „Gothic Horror“ Rubrik zu finden, allerdings halt auf englisch 😉
Also bis auf den roten Dämon find ich die ganz gut…haben Charakter. Und ganz ehrlich 2,95€ für 28mm Metallminis…wow!
Die abgewrackten CS-Infanteristen sind cool. Weiß da jemand den Hersteller?
Die gehören wohl Northstar Miniatures selber….. wurden speziell für dieses Spiel geknetet, wie alles aus dem ‚Whole Lot‘
Kannst du über North Star Miniatures auch einzeln kaufen. Sind als CS Zombies gedacht & wurden extra für die Reihe gemacht.
Auch ich bin dabei, somit ein Kunde mehr. Yearrr
