I still haven't seen a hint of Gothic Horror in this Gothic Horror wargame

I guess that's on me for expecting Darkest Dungeon-tier stuff, eh?

Examples of Gothic Horror are Dracula, Frankenstein, Jekyll and Hyde and the Turn of the Screw. Typically has elements of romanticism, forbidden pleasure and more subtle horror.

Darkest Dungeon is set in a Gothic Manor but is more Fantasy or Lovecraftian horror (the later especially with the DLC) with some enemy inspiration taken from Gothic Horror but is not really gothic horror (despite claiming to be so).

Silver Bayonet definitely fits into the traditional Gothic Horror genre.

I mean, the monster minis sure look like actors in early 20th century-era movie costumes!

Some nice models - definately - the little background I have read and the models remind me of Flintloque.

How much background and lore is in the book and are all the Vampire just bad guys and gals or is more nuanced than that?

Not quite sure what that means. It's a visual medium of miniatures, not a script/story. Granted, I don't think that many gothic horror elements can translate well to a tabletop wargame, as the stakes are more personal in dealing with dear, isolation, romanticism, etc, It's more suited to a RPG than a wargame. However, I don't see how Turnip 28 captures that better. Plus the minis aren't really gothic horror themed, being some kind of eldritch/folk horror mashup. While the sculpt styles might be considered a bit quaint, I can absolutely use SB figures in a Ravenloft game.

From FB: "The Silver Bayonet: The Carpathians: Castle Fier
Released May 2023.

Recruit new soldiers, face new foes, and explore the mysteries of the Carpathian Mountains in two new campaigns, one competitive and one for solo or cooperative play.

High in the Carpathian Mountains stands the crumbling Castle Fier. Once home to a powerful warlord, the castle cast a dark shadow across the nearby villages, until crusaders attacked with sword and flame to put an end to its menace. Though history passed into folklore, the ruins of Castle Fier remained shunned by all as a cursed site. Now, horrors have been seen moving at night. An army gathers. Something has awoken in the ruins. With the political situation in the surrounding region becoming increasingly unstable, France, Prussia, Britain, and the other powers have dispatched their best agents to investigate the ruins, eliminate any threats, and acquire any treasures that could prove useful in the ongoing fight against the harvestmen. and each other.

The Carpathians: Castle Fier is a supplement for The Silver Bayonet: A Wargame of Napoleonic Gothic Horror, in which the special units must fight their way through the ruins of a menacing haunted castle. It features two campaigns - one competitive and one for solo or cooperative play - as well as new monsters to fight, soldiers to recruit, and treasure to unearth."
