(Posted in [barbaric] English on a relevant board, development of preliminary ideas posted on the French IHMN-devoted forum link) - The Fraternity of John the Presbyter link (from 'Brotherhood of the Wolf' link, with a twist: Kali-worshiping assassins among the gypsies associated with the 'Brotherhood'): priests and monks leading fanatical but inexperienced zealots backed by a few veteran military types and an assassin,
- The Sons of the Martyrs link (from 'Crimsom Rivers II' link, spiced up with details from 'Hellsing Ultimate' link): 'enhanced' humans leading 'controlled' artificial vampires and a giant werewolf,
- The Eugenist Circle of the Thousand Daughters link (from 'The Crimsom rivers' link, a kind of Bene Gesserit secondarily building bioconstructs): the all-female staff of a Lebensborn led by psionics and supported by a flesh golem.
Of course they can equally be factions for EotD, bands for Chaos in Carpathia

I particularly like your Bene Gesserit-inspired Thousand Daughters faction. "Are you human or animal?" |

The year is 1746. Having evaded La Bourdonnais link 's patrols in the Indian Ocean the Buxom Strumpet thecurseofthebuxomstrumpet.com back from the East Indies reaches at last the shores of Old England. Unbeknown to the crew the only passenger, a fallen nobleman who had to leave Hertfordshire under cloud, brings back a Sumatran Rat Monkey link as the tool of his vengeance.
An excuse to play 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' YouTube link by the time of Barry Lyndon link
Figurines wise, there is no difficulty to build the Lizzy Bennet IHMN company, with a wide choice for the leading character(s): . 'individuals' (Laughing Monk link, Flying Frog link, Valiant link
), . FIW settlers (Conquest link, RAFM link, Westwind link
) . Pirates, chiefly ( Black Scorpion link, Bronze Age link, Eureka link, Freebooter link [heavy support weapon!]), Moonlight link, Reaper link
).
For the zombies of the demented nobleman (& 1 or 2 friends of the Hellfire Club link?)'s company, there are several ranges of undead pirates link (and even some marines link ), * but the simplest way to have zombies in any 'period' dress is to 'zombify' normal miniatures. As with extras in movies, merely a matter of some cosmetics (very minor and easy conversions link ) and chiefly of make-up (* painting* link ). |

3 more: link Les Diables du Gévaudan ± from the cheap TV movie 'La Bête du Gévaudan' imdb.com/title/tt0352224 with an influence of 'The Shadow over Innsmaouth' link A disturbed noble initiated into a native 'young blood provides immortality' cult brought back a cult leader and behaves Elizabeth Bathory fashion.
The Hive ± from The 13th Warrior' link with much input from diverse Lovecraft's novellas The living corpse of an ancient Great Priestess is fed by an underground-living totally degenerated bloodline.
A seashore variant would have a partly human 'priestess' served by amphibious fishmen in a partly submerged caves system, with smugglers / wreckers as 'normal' helpers.
Les Chasse-diableries rather generic, from from 'The 7 samurai', 'Guns for San Sebastian' and 'Le Poil de la Bête' to the old 'Frankenstein' and 'Van Helsing' if I have to quote reference movies). Roused by a local noble or by a (possibly female?) agent of the Crown the village elders hire a sorcelier (monster hunter / witcher) to lead the mob of vengeful villagers. May be reinforced by a few regular light troops.
