I was pleasantly surprised when FFG announced a new edition of
Mansions of Madness at the end of July. I played the first edition a few times, and pictures can be found
here and
here.
The new edition is an undeniable improvement and comes with eight investigators.
 |
| Wendy Adams, urchin |
 |
| Agatha Crane, paranormal investigator |
 |
| Carson Sinclair, butler |
 |
| Preston Fairmont, millionaire |
 |
| Minh Thi Phan, secretary |
 |
| Father Mateo, priest |
 |
| Rita Young, athlete |
 |
| William Yorick, gravedigger |
The new edition can be used with first edition map pieces and investigators. Here is my entire collection of investigators!

Next time: the monsters!
Some exceptional figs there, Barks, very well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Evan! They were just a quick job but it is nice to paint individuals rather than a squad of identical troops!
DeleteThese are great. I'm saving these pictures for references. Only thing I would change is for the ghost I think I was blue over green.
DeleteThanks, Blake! I think blue would look great- I went green because all my Lovecraft monster stuff has a green motif.
DeleteTop class painting, & a very impressive collection of investigators!
ReplyDeleteThanks, PC! I'm having difficulties with Blogger and will put up a bigger pic when I'm on my regular computer in 2 weeks. They do make a nice collection of 20s civvies.
DeleteAll wonderful but Yorick has to be my favorite!
ReplyDeleteHe reminds me of the Yorkshire Ripper, who was also a gravedigger... I had a good game with the wonderfully named Minh Thi Phan, and she's my fave. Agatha is suitably dramatic.
DeleteI dunno, he seems more trustworthy than some... like that millionaire, or that Agatha Crane, who's got "secret crazy fanatic" written all over her.
DeleteFantastic job on these! They've got so much character.
Thanks, Allison! It's fun to come up with backstories like how the millionaire and his butler and his personal secretary go monster hunting.
DeleteStunning work! I have onöy painted 4 of my investigators

DeleteYour work is great!
Deletegreat stuff, you've inspired me to badger my gaming mate to get his done to make the game look much better!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the new version is better, full co-op is more fun that one poor soul being against the rest.
It has lovely boards, it deserves painted figures.
DeleteIt is superb for solo play as well, a big plus in my book.
I'm having issues finishing Wendy Adams. I can't tell if her back should match the color of the front and the apron part or if it should match the dress.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you go with?
I did skirt and sleeves blue, apron front purple, back and shoulders white. Hope that helps!
DeleteI have been using your work for reference (hope you don't mind! Brilliant work btw!) and I just wanted to ask what you use for paints and washes? The sheer detail in these is incredible!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm flattered! I use a variety of acrylics. I have been using the Army Painter range which has nice washes as well.
Deleteremarkable..
ReplyDeleteand thanks for the inspiration,
I've just started painting (nook), and while it took me 2-3 hours to add some stuff to the cultists only (which I originally thought finished a few days ago), I'm amazed that you can get such small details like the white of the eyes/dot for eyes.
I did make each cultist more or less unique, and sigh.. one of them ended up looking like a thin santa claus :-D oh well.. Thanks again... gonna buy myself more colours tomorrow.
it was supposed so say noob*
DeleteHave fun painting and gaming! It’s much more satisfying than bare plastic.
