Footsore Miniatures: Gangs of Rome Ankündigung

Sanguinem Domus… the „bleeding house“…
It started here, an age ago it seems…
Gone now, not a stone of the site remains.
None would purchase it after what was done there.

House Cassian, Dominus, family and slaves slain so grievously their lives washed away in an ocean of red.
Cascading from the house to the gutters in the street.
In the dark of night, a red carpet a hundred Gradus long, covering the steps of a once thriving household.

Some said it was an army of men…
The truth is far more unbelievable, for it was only a handful. Even so, it was not the blades of the „Gang“ that robbed house Cassian of life… but something far deadlier… Ambition…

Remember what was said here, lest your own houses fall to the plans of a rival.

You are an ambitious Dominus, the Head of a Roman household and you begin your story in troubled times…
The scenes that ended house Cassian, sent shock waves through the city.
Investigation and reprisal from Rome was swift, brutal and total, but far too late.

The need to own a private gang was well demonstrated at the bleeding house and started something of a „trend“ among the wealthy and powerful of the city.

With her armies already stretched thin across the empire, Rome was happy to turn a blind eye to almost all the machinations of its more ambitious citizens, short of a repeat of the total butchery of an entire household…
If a slave, merchant, or careless relative went missing here or there, why ask questions?
Rome can be such a dangerous place…

Taking advantage of this concession, each great house soon became home to a gang of fighters. Some drawn from the very same well. Others a more complicated patchwork, with only the ability to maim and kill in common.

Now armed, to both protect their house and enforce their will, the goal for each rival Dominus must be far more advanced than just a decisive night of slaughter.
With Rome’s crushing response to such outrageous action, now understood, for one’s rivals to be removed, a more „staged“ plan is required.

You will use your Gang in campaign play, to earn influence enough to manipulate your way into the Senate.
And as a new Senator of Rome, your enemies will indeed find themselves destroyed, not by the sword…

Gather your fighters and equip them well.
You bloody journey is just beginning…

Viel mehr ist bisher nicht bekannt, aber es soll eine komplette Produktpalette inklusive Miniaturen und Gebäuden angeboten werden.
