As mentioned in an early post some of the creatures can be a little challenging for some of the Joe McCullough's rule books, add to that the complication of going off piste and picking Manchuria as a setting.
Having decided on a change in theatre, I had a quick google on suitable 'monsters' for East Asia and these seemed to fit the bill. Thanks to Northstar and Reaper cracking service.
These were a fun distraction and something a little different to pass through the paint table.
Fangshi - Chinese Necromancer
Possessed - Human's who are willing to invite Demons into their own bodies.
Goblins or Gremlin's - Tiny little buggers but they had a Oriental feel to them.
Hopping Vampire - Why not.
No idea what this is - let's call him a Troll for now.
With a lengthy list of other potential monsters within the rule book, I figured I would match them to what's tucked away in the cupboard. so here goes.....
Vampire Bat - Crows, Demon - Chinese Dragon, Living Armour - Terracotta Warrior, Hobgoblin - Temple Guard, Black Dog = Fu Dog.
Until next time.......
Sounds like just the kind of thing I might need to come up with in my Pulp adventures Stu, if the adventurers ever disturb an ancient Orietal burial site, for example.....!
ReplyDeleteAgreed Keith, you will like the next faction very much pulp if you can have Edwardian pulp :-)

Those are great! The orangey-brown ape looks a lot like the critter who appears twice in the 80's action classic "Big Trouble in Little China."
ReplyDeleteNow you mention it :-)
DeleteOf course it was the demon from the tunnels.

Very cool figures, Stu. As Ski mentioned above, that "ape" does look like the one in BTILC.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean great spot, my 15 year old self struggled to place him :-)
