Shadow Man/Juju Man - still ongoing... (page 13).

[ink the troll]

Now that's an interesting looking building.

[Dr. The Viking]

Amuck!

[matakishi]

Added some paper skin now it needs to dry for 24 hours before painting.







Next up will be the Marrow Gates, the entrance to Deadside.

[Mason]

That looks like one of the most interesting and ambitious buildings I have ever seen.
Bloody wonderful and very imaginative.
 


Gotta ask: Where are those large 'pustules' from?

[matakishi]

They're sea ameno anemin amenonmis anemone shells.

[Momotaro]

Sea urchins.

Fantastic building!

[Dr. Zombie]

This is very very awesome.

But also very very disturbing!

[matakishi]

Sea urchins.

The very things!
I knew they were shells of some sort

[cheetor]

Fantastic stuff.  The table is going to look spectacular all together.

Obviously, I am most looking forward to seeing how you paint the rams horn and sea creature building - its repulsive.

[matakishi]

More building before the painting.
These are the Marrow Gates, the entrance to Deadside.









The Eagle claws and the red 'gourds' will look like they do now as will the actual resin gate piece. Everything else will be painted dark stone. The hanging corpses will be suitably daubed as well.

Very nice Paul. I love everything about this  Some absolutely splendid builds and conceptualisation.

[Lawful Evil]

An excellent build. I particulalry like the protruding 'wings' and the claws. You've really captured, in my mind, the early 2000s videogame aesthetic in this project. I'm looking forward to more miniatures as well, you always manage to find fantastic, obscure figures to accompany your work.
EDIT: Forgot to ask, where do the bodies on the stakes come from? I could use a few of them. Thanks.

[matakishi]

I'm pretty pleased with it myself. Since I first wanted to do a Shadow Man game five years ago and stalled because I had no actual inspiration for the game play and what it should entail I've given it no thought. Then, I watched Silent Hill again the other day, and the idea of two parallel realities just clicked. I had a project!

It's coming together nicely. I designed the final two buildings today, I'm awaiting parts before I can build them. Because of my trip to Colours I've added a Deadside railway too. Now I've got a month to paint the extra figures I'll need and prepare the game cards. I'm looking forward to its test run at BLAM.

Here are the Liveside and Deadside working maps so you can start to plan your strategy





The scenario is that a malignant force in Deadside has used its agents on Liveside to kidnap and torture people in a remote farm house. The victims' suffering is a beacon that the Deadside entity's Great Engine can focus on to create a breach in the barrier between worlds. If the barrier is breached all the horrors of deadside will be unleashed upon an unsuspecting Liveside.

To combat this an unprecedented 4 Shadow Men, their attendant Voodoo Priestesses and Supernatural helpers have been assembled to close the breach.

The Shadow Men will need to search both Liveside and Deadside for the clues to the whereabouts of the needed ritual elements, each element will be jealously guarded by the Sisters of Blood and will not be easy to claim.

The Deadside entity will use all its malignant power and followers to thwart the Shadow Men. Each time a Shadow Man is slain the Entity will gain a huge boost of life energy to power his Great Engine, bringing Liveside's doom ever closer.

It will be a horror filled game of cat and mouse as the Shadow Men strive to claim the ritual elements and discover weapons and allies to make them stronger whilst the Deadside Entity sends wave after wave of hideous minions after them to harvest more and more of their precious live energy for his Engine.

Hidden dangers await our heroes at every turn...

I was born in the wrong country; I miss out on all these games and events!

I bought the bodies on stakes at a show this weekend from Dreamholme Scenics.
