mice and mystics heroes

[petercooman]

Got the heroes for mice and mystics done last night, actually pretty fun to paint !

Actually forgot to take pictures before i applied varnish, hence the shine...

[Sandinista]

I like these a lot, impressive 

Cheers

[Techno]

Those ARE fun.

Cheers - Phil.

[O Dinas Powys]

Really cool  

Great work

Yup: I fleetingly thought that it looked like a fun game to try with the sprogs, then saw the price... 

What do you reckon the chances of persuading Leon to commission a range of 'lawful' mice-men for Warband - to go up against the ratmen - are?! 

Cheers!

Pretty damned cool figures

[petercooman]

Thanks all!

For what it's worth, if you look into it it is worth the price. Every single card and token has nice artwork. And every card a different illustration too!

They are lovely figures, may look into the game as well.

Don't let the models fool you, it's a pretty decent dungeon crawler with a heroquest-like combat mechanism and dm-less co-op action. The lovely figures are a bonus

Nice and refreshing change from all the elf-dwarf-barbarian-wizard dungeon crawlers too!

Great paint job 

[Roy]

brilliant

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Those look superb!

[Ithoriel]

Great stuff! Those look really good.

Tracked Mice & Mystics when it was in development and loved the concept and execution but the cost of the game coupled with the postage put it out of range financially. May have to reconsider now!

[Matt J]

These look cool. Is it something that is Redwall influenced?

[FierceKitty]

Deranged. Now, where can I get some?

As i said, there is a big cost, but the game itself is beautifull!  Just look at the artwork on those tiles and cards:






By the way, these minis are painted to look like the character cards in the last pic, came out ok.

Redwall has been mentioned a few times on the forums, but the designer said in an interview that he originally made the game to help his daughter with her reading problems. (it has quite a bit of story text in the adventures). His daughter really likes mice so he made his characters mice! Maybe he did draw inspiration from there or maybe it's just a  coincidence!

Deranged. Now, where can I get some?

I'd not heard of this before. Its a nice looking game, and the figures have painted up very nicely. Are you going to do the monsters as well?

Doing them right now, was just going to paint the bases on the roaches, spider and centipede. Rats will be for tomorrow.  And then if all goes well, i will have painted the entire game in 3 days

Just picked up a second hand copy on line for £35 - more my price range. Though I see expensive expansions in my future if I can get people playing this!

For what it's worth, there is only one big box expansion and one small one. and they are played in a specific order. Otherwise the story doesn't match up.

First is mice and mystics sorrow and rememberance (the base game)
after that is heart of glorm (the small box)
and lastly downwood tales (big box again)

I have just ordered a copy of heart of glorm yesterday, is pretty hard to find. But i saw that the company who makes them restocked a few days ago, so i'm uessing there will be more availability again with a new print run.

Tail feathers is actually a stand alone skirmish game in the lines of attack wing/x wing, but with birds and squads of ground troops that you send on missions. It is not a necessary purchase if you are only interested in the dungeon crawler. (although some of those miniatures can be used in the base game for variety, or to replace tokens)

I could'nt resist and bought everything 

Have fun!!
