Doesn't that artwork look gorgeous? 🙂

The game is based upon terrifying historical events in the South of France.

Do you have what it takes to outwit the other hunters, face the Beast, and end its reign of terror?

See @hounds_and_jackals for more info and keep an ear to the ground for a Kickstarter launch in the future.

I recently picked up #gloomhaven by @cephalofair and painted up the #cragheart and #mindthief while leafing through the mighty tome that is the rulebook. 😉

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of these minis. With the sheer volume of awesome content in this box, I wasn't expecting much from them. And, whilst not quite as refined as those found in a dedicated miniatures game, I'd say these are of a decent standard for a boardgame, with plenty of character to them. They also required minimal prep work before painting, so the casts were good too.

Thanks to the wonderful artwork, they were also fun to paint to the stock scheme. I changed the Mindthief a bit as I didn't fancy trying to freehand all those tiny glowing runes! I also added a pop of green on the dagger to mix things up. Other than that, these two mostly match to the artwork and I'm happy with how they look on the table.

I'm looking forward to starting my first game with these two - but I have no idea if they'll work well together or not! 🙂
