mice and mystics heroes

[petercooman]

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!

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.

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

Redwall has been mentioned a few times on the forums, but the designer said in an interview that he originally made the game to help his daughter with her reading problems.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!!

Have fun with it!

Also worth noting, the models fit in with 'some other company who makes rat models'. there are a few comparison pics on BGG

I think you can do this on Amazon. You setup an account, then post links (which have a link to your account) then you get some commission. I suspect its not much. But...

I know, but i Just want To spread my love for the games, not make profit

Just finished painting all the minions. Added some miniatures from the other boxes so I could make a nice assembly line of fur painting   

Base texture will get to dry overnight, I'll shoot some pics tomorrow.
