There are a variety of new monsters in Mansions of Madness 2nd edition. The bases they come with are, like the first edition, truly awful. I rebased and painted the figures and added them to my eldritch collection!
The Hunting Horrors were stuck to Citadel flight stands I had had lying about for years.
The rioters come three to a base, but I've left them individually based for use in other games if necessary.
The cultists are the first edition ones, so I didn't re-do them. The High Priest of Dagon is a little too fluorescent, and I may do some more work on him.
The deep one hybrids really came to life with a blue-green lower lip, and some dodgy eyes. Suitably batrachian!
The child of Dagon looks more like a zombie.
The deep ones were easy to paint with a mix of green and blue washes. I wasn't a fan of these initially, but now I think they're my favourite.
The ghosts were easy to paint, with a green wash over white.
The star spawns are suitably large whilst somewhat static in pose, but look fine after a green/ brown paint job.
Here's the second edition content, and the combined first and second edition.
Ia! Ia!
Ghost be like: You're tearing me apart, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to be spooky in clown shoes!
DeleteFabulous they all look cracking. Its nice to see the whole set painted.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Simon! It adds to the game and I couldn't wait to get started.
DeleteThey look absolutely brilliant, I really need to have a closer look at this.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael- it is worth a play, but I'm not yet convinced it is excellent value.
DeleteFantastic! What a great collection you've painted up.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Monty!
DeleteHmmm, did not even know a second edition was out. Great monsters!
ReplyDeleteIt only just came out. I was very excited when I heard.
DeleteSterling work! Those painted up nicely.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Mikko!
DeleteSimply wonderful work Barks. Can't decide which I like best!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Millsy!
DeleteAwesome!!! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteGraçias!
DeleteThat's some top-notch painting there, Barks, and the rebasing on the hunting horrors is a definite win. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou're too kind, Evan. I thought it was a good use for those old bases.
DeleteAwesome gribbly horde, very well-painted! I especially like the Deep Ones & the Star Spawn.
ReplyDeleteThanks, PC! They were both very quick to paint for the effects achieved.
DeleteAwesome work... lots of great painted minis!
ReplyDeleteThanks, HW- I'm very impressed with your progress as well!
DeleteYou're right, the Deep Ones are amazing. I'm about ready to violate the Benthic Treaty here!
ReplyDeleteI actually like the hybrids, despite their "samey-ness" (I might have given them different weapons and even hats, but it is a fair bit of work, I know!), and the child of Dagon is downright creepy! I'm really enjoying this turn for the Lovecraftian and all the disturbing characters you're turning out :)
Naturally, I'd prefer different poses and weapons, but at the end of the day they're low quality boardgame pieces and I decided I don't have the time!
DeleteI like them veyr much !
ReplyDeleteI'm painting this game so this is a huge inspiration to me.
Can you describe how you painted the jeans for the rioters please ?
Gratz!
Xavier
Thanks, Xavier!
DeleteThe jeans are very simple: a blue-grey (like Citadel Space Wolf Grey), then Army Painter Blue Wash. Done!
what colour did you use for the blonde hair on Amanda sharpe?
ReplyDeleteI think it was a cream/ ivory basecoat and a wash of Army Painter Warpaint Soft Tone.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteNice work with this miniatures. I'm not a painter but I love this game so much. If you don't use them anymore and you are planning to sell it please let me know by email me to office@icount.ro .
Thank you !
Catalin
