I've always enjoyed Folklore and have tried at times to find ways to combine it with gaming, so I painted these 28mm Westwind figures for some "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" games! The game basically plays as a typical miniatures skirmish game, but with a few RPG elements. Each player takes a character figure (Ichabod Crane, etc.) and a few henchmen and has their own victory objectives. Some of these goals might have to do with taking out other characters, killing the horseman, or solving a mystery or two! As far as the Headless Horseman is concerned, I make a secret die roll at the start of the game to determine if he is either purely fictional, totally real, or is just being portrayed by a character to scare the town,.... or a combination thereof! Here are some pictures:
 |
| The villagers come out to see what the ruckus is all about! |
 |
| The Headless Horseman rides again! |
 |
| Another view of the Horseman - that old Hessian! |
 |
| The Headless Horseman with unlucky soul's head! |
 |
| The Sleepy Hollow town militia comes out for a look! |
 |
| These are quite versitile figures and could work for a few periods, |
Very cool!

Thanks Christopher! The next thing I want to do is collect a bunch of buildings to make a nice village. I'm thinking about going with Miniature Bulding Authority.
