Pimp my Game - Mice and Mystics

For some of my games, my favourite games, I on occasion like to give them a bit of a makeover.
Upgrading the components, wrangling things to make for a faster set-up, adding a bit of extra sparkle and such.

First up is...

Mice and Mystics
 
A fabulous fantasy adventure game with a superb background story from Plaid Hat Games. It comes with beautiful (unpainted) figurines and many cardboard tokens with very good artwork .. but sometimes you want something a little more.
So I've been converting various tokens to 3 dimensional pieces (made using polymer clays) and painting up the figurines. It's all still a work in progress, but here is some of what has been done so far...


Traditional Camembert, Blue Brie, Brie rolled in Vine Ash and Swiss.

So much more satisfying to grab a nice weighty wedge.

Nom nom nom.

Good morning, Sir. Welcome to the National Cheese Emporium!

I was asked on BoardGameGeek how I had constructed the cheese wedges ... so I whipped this up.

Grapes, Mousetraps, Hook and Thread ...and Brodie's Paw.

The tokens look nice, but... hmmm.

In the Dining Room.


I have most of the base set figurines painted now. I've also purchased a second set of the figures so I can convert them and use them for the boss-type creatures and other critters that are normally depicted by slipping a token under a common minion figure. I'll be getting on to those shortly ;)

The deadly cave centipede.

Mouse Hero 'Filch', the Scamp.

Rats, Rats and more Rats.

Pesky Roaches.

More Mice Heroes; Colin, Nez, Lily, Tilda and Maginos  ...primed and ready for painting.

Must get back and finish painting these figures. ~ Distracted by the 'Crusoe ;p

Here are a few pieces I've done for an M&M connoisseur over in Canada...

The 'Essentials' set.

Hook and Thread ...on pine.

Snappy new traps.

Tasty blue ...and his friends.

A new H&T for my set too ;)

Tile vs Sculpt.

And a few more pieces to add to the collection...

Brodie!

The fork.

Another assortment of cheeses.

Plump ripe grapes.

To the kitchen!

Some pieces heading off to Colorado, USA...

Hook and Traps.

A handful of gaming goodies.

The Cheddar Golem!

Standing along side some of the figures from the game.

From above...

...the rear...

...to the left...

...and the right...

Say cheese.

Speaking of cheese.

Mmmm ... yummy.

The hoard.

Off to a good home.

  5. First of all: I love your work.
    Secondly, I have no idea how to send a PM, but I'd also like to hear more about the possibility of a set of these. (especially if you also have the parts for some of the expansions as well)
    Last but not least, how do you feel about painting a full set of figurines, and sending them to Denmark? (I would of course pay for it. and send you the figurines to be painted)
    Anyways, I can be reached via mail: Murphorama@gmail.com

    Best regards from here :)

    1. Thanks Nicki ... Yeah, those figures were acquired through Plaid Hat games; they used to offer a 'figures only' set, containing all of the M&M minis (it doesn't seem to be available now) :(
