Here's the full set, although a couple of the shy ones are hiding in the back row. I'll see if I can draw them forth shortly. These miniatures come in Red Hat's board game Mice & Mystics and its expansion Downwood Tales. The game features a royal (Human) household that overtaken by an evil sorceress and the heroes change themselves into mice to escape. long the way they battle cockroaches, rats, centipedes and spiders (including their human enemies who also morph themselves). It is a surprising good play, with simple rules, great story line scenarios, a good challenge and lots of nice colour. The currency is cheese, there's a ring of cat strength magic item and triggering a mouse trap means that your mouse both takes a hit and gets a cheese. Better yet you can find a dinner fork and mouse-a-pult yourself over danger.
Tilda, Colin, Maginose |
First up we have the leader, Price Colin in his red cloak flanked by his counsellors Tilda the healer and Maginos the mystic. Tilda also fights with a nasty mace and gets more deadly if she's defending wounded comrades. Maginos has his familiar wyvern Meeps who's been transformed into a lady bug.
Filch, Nez, Lily |
Next up we have the royal armourer Nez, flanked by Filch the scamp and Lily the archer. Nez is a tinkerer (which is sometimes useful) and a warrior which is always useful especially when he uses his Thundersqueak ability. Lily has always been a mouse and is a member of a local mouse clan that Colin befriends. We meet her in one of the early scenarios when they rescue her from a mousetrap.
Jakobe, Ansel, Ditty |
I'm not sure if Sarah's Challenge includes only human characters. But there are three female anthropomorphic rodents in this groups so I've tagged them any way. Here are the three ladies in question, Mother Hen Tilda, Adventurous Lily and well keep a hand on your valuables Ditty.
Final group shot. |
Points wise these figures are shorter than 28s and taller than 20s. I'll leave it to the gods and GMs to work out my points.
Outstanding. Fur often appears easy, but you're smashed it. And that gecko!
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw this I thought Reaper Mouselings, but these are nicer. Well done.
Thanks Robert. I had some of the Reaper mouselings a few Challenges back, but they died in a primer incident. The figs in the game box are nicer than many I’ve seen and painted up nicely.
DeleteMouselings everywhere cried out in agony.
DeleteOh, I do like the mouse-ettes, however, adorably cute and well painted anthropomorphic critters will unfortunately not be Sarah’s Choice contenders.
ReplyDeletePlease refer back to Challenge 2 and the rules chapter supplement specifically referring to Ray and the She-Bear. 😊
Oh too bad, but no big worries. Thanks for the kind word# and rules info. Plus I can blame Ray!
DeleteYeah blame Ray!
DeleteClassic stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barks
DeleteLovely work on the fur, great looking characters!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain. I find that wash techniques bring out fur details nicely.
DeleteGorgeous work Peter.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Michael
DeleteThose are beautiful Peter!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Fran.
DeleteThose look cool Peter!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Thanks
DeleteNice paintwork here Peter, and it’s a fine game. Why am I not surprised Curt plays Filch?
ReplyDeleteThanks Phyllion. He's mostly honest.
DeleteLovely critters, the wife likes them and that's saying something.
ReplyDeleteCheers Sander. You wife obviously has good taste!
DeleteBrilliant work Peter! I particularly like Jakobe - he's pretty awesome. I look forward to playing with these for our next chapter in the adventure.
ReplyDeleteCheers Curt. I like Jakobe too.
DeleteDamn fine brushwork Sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Ray.
