Mansions of Madness: Horrific Journeys

I painted the figures from the latest MoM expansion, Horrific Journeys.

There are four investigators: Trish Scarborough (spy), Jim Culver (jazz musician), Silas Marsh (sailor), and Agnes Baker (waitress).

Trish Scarborough, Jim Culver, Silas Marsh, Agnes Baker
There are some human, humanoid, and eldritch monsters:

Warlocks

Dimensional Shamblers

Hunting Deep Ones

Formless Spawn
I'm pretty happy with the Warlocks' suits. I went dark grey with a black wash and highlighted with a mid-grey. The Formless Spawn is supposed to be an amorphous tarry black blob- I highlighted it from above and then washed it down with a black wash. It's big: on an 80mm base.

The quality of the figures is leaps and bounds ahead of where FFG used to be.

    Lovely painting. The jazz musician made me smile, why would anyone carry a trumpet when fighting the hordes of evil ??

      I’m glad you asked! Jim’s inherited trumpet allows him to communicate with the dead- although riffing off a snazzy tune when Great Cthulhu himself rises before you may not be useful.

      I’m bemused by the sailor- “I go around everywhere topless with my harpoon because I’m a sailor.”

      It's Erich Zann's trumpet, made from the bones of murdered victims. Playing it can cause magical effects or strip a being's soul from its body (With apologies to Charles Stross)

      I like how the sailor investigates appalling supernatural evil with a 6-foot spear... While Agnes does it with her diner order pad. She must truly be a badass.

      Great bunch of characters, you made them look fantastic.

      Thanks very much, Allison! I hadn’t thought of a Zann connection, nice one.

      Agnes is a devastating spellcaster in the card game, but I’m not sure they’ve captured that in her sculpt!

    The scenarios are good too. We've Zeppelin'd twice and take the Arkham Express this pm.

      Thanks! I based the skin recipe on Anne O’L’s work.
