DIORAMA TEST SHOTS

We've been playing around with how to display the ever growing number of minis here at DARKMOOK MINIATURES, as well as what to use as a backdrop to contextualise product images, so we put together a couple of prototype backdrops for the minis to inhabit...




The two prototypes are the Police Station Hallway (top 2 pictures) and Police Station Cells (bottom 2 pictures). Looking forward to polishing these up, and hopefully using them and other designs for upcoming product shoots!

SURVIVAL HORROR BOARDGAME UPDATE

The second round of official playtesting for the SURVIVAL HORROR BOARDGAME has been completed with what was essentially the finished rules and board. Following the test, some minor adjustments have been made to the rules, and a major adjustment to the board-a reduction to two levels and less rooms, to quicken the pace! Here are a few pics of the game in action!

Biker in the cell block

All quiet for now...

The zombies are massing!

The game under way!

Heated debate!

Hunter and Veteran Cop vs Zombie Hounds

Bioweapon vs Biker

Waaaaaaay too happy...

Game over for the Biker as his companions decide with extreme prejudice who gets a space in the van!

The aftermath...
A good time was had by all, and the mechanics made for an enjoyable fast paced but tactical game. The balance of weapons and items seemed right, and the massing zombies added a real air of tension as the game progressed! Looking forward to the next playtest and getting this sucker into production-updates to follow.

SURVIVAL HORROR SET 3: PRISON BREAK

The fourth Survival Horror re-release is now available from RPGNow:
http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=78635&src=FrontPage#previews


The 13 figure set includes Officer Rhames, SHPD Survivor (1 x Clean, 1 x Bloody, 1 x Zombie), Donnie, Inmate Survivor (1 x Clean, 1 x Bloody, 1 x Zombie), 1 x Inmate Zero (Source of the Prison Outbreak), 6 x Inmate Zombies. All are 30mm scale Character figures for Modern Horror gaming.


Character Development



Inmate Zero (or 'Jammies Zombie' as he was known for a while) shows how sometimes a character can change very little from the initial sketch. Essentially, the only real changes were to the head and face-this was as the original look was too similar to the other zombies in this set. The finished minis of Officer Rhames and Inmate Donnie were also practically identical to the original sketches;I had a very clear vision of what I wanted this set to be from the outset, and it was one of the fastest to complete so far.
