Carnevale’s Vatican Guard Defend Against Vampire Attack
June 19, 2019 by brennon
TTCombat has shown off two new warbands who will be joining the struggle for control of Venice in Carnevale. The Vatican Armed Forces are on the warpath, ready to put foul creatures and worshippers to the sword.
Leading the way here we have the rather imperious looking Patriarch Bishop de Bernis alongside his loyal Bishop’s Guard. These warriors have faith on their side, but they still have to be good with those halberds if they're going to bring down their foes.
Luckily, the grim looking Avignon Guard is with them, clad in full plate armour and wielding a massive greatsword. I can already imagine just how he fights which speaks to the cinematic feel of the sculpts and Carnevale as a whole.
As they did point out though, is wearing full plate armour in a city which has an abundance of deep water a good idea? I'm sure you'll find out!
Bloodthirsty Reapers
The Vatican is probably right to send in the heavies to deal with the escalating situation in Venice as the Strigoi Footsoldiers are also on the warpath. These killers are rushing through the streets, cutting down those that displease their master.
This set should work as a good expansion to your Strigoi gang, offering you two common Strigoi, two Reapers, and a Thrall. I love the swagger of the Thrall, intent on beating you to death with her fists and entirely unphased by the sword you keep waggling in her face.
Both of these sets are going to be available soon through the TTCombat webstore so watch out for their release.

After his first encounter with that unholy cleavage, Bishop de Bernis was forever known as Bishop de Boner.
Run it’s the Inquisition now with vampires.
Fabulous looking figure’s
I love both those sets. They’d be good for D&D
Aye, good town guard and servants for Strahd!
I’m thinking the female vampire would make a great recurring villain
Already used her in an RPG. She was a kick-starter stretch goal.
Moar Carnevale!
I could see using these minis in D&D and not just for vampiric verses the church.
Change the paint and the possibilities multiply.
All of those are really nice looking miniatures.
I picked up Vatican for the first edition. Their successors look good.
While I’m generally critical of big cleavages on minis, I think they are on the right side of the line with this one. She looks like she will kick your ass in fairly practical attire; but still a vampiress so will look great while doing it.
