Hi Rhannon! Thanks for picking up the re-released sets-hope you have fun with them!
Funnily enough, the idea for this set came to me after catching up with some episodes of Fringe I had missed, and thinking about what I could add to the genetic mutation aspect of my zombie figs...
The agents posted are the finished figs for this set, but if it is popular enough I plan on adding to the agents in future sets, along with some special (possibly supernatural) characters-an 'Elite Squad' as it were!
I have taken on board the comments about the slightly ballroom pose of some of the agents but don't know if I will have time to alter these before the set is released-I will keep you posted!

Hey Ciabs-I am aiming on getting the last re-release out in the next coupe of days, but I am heading to Glasgow and Edinburgh at the weekend so it may be Tuesday if I don't get the chance! Thanks for your patience and sorry for the delay!

Hey all! Just a quick update on progress! I have been busy updating the rules (really just simplifying and streamlining), figuring out the weapons and special items and getting the images and tokens layed out. I am also nearly finished with the next two human minis-a biker and grizzled veteran cop. Here are the cards version 2.0: Character cards(Bioweapon and Fast Zombie) Weapon cards(Magnum, Hand Gun and Chainsaw) Item cards(Vehicle Key Objective Item, Lock Pick and Medical Pack) Text etc needs adding, but I am pleased with how the basic background and images have turned out. I am hoping to get the basics finished for a new playtest at the end of the month, so should post again then!

Hey hey! Been a while since I posted to this particular thread, but thought I would add an update on the latest set! Alongside re-packaging the old sets for re-release, I have been plugging away at the game and working on Survival Horror Set 4: Occult Terrors The Horror Within . This is the first set with the Occult Terrors subtitle, and features a stand-off between five Special Agents and a group of bio-demonic humans under the thrall of their leader-a man driven insane and horrifically mutated from communing with impossible, forbidden beings... Agent WoodAgent MaycockAgent WalkerAgent BarlowAgent BarkerBio-Demon SketchBio-Demon Leader WIPApologies again for some of the tiny images-bigger images have been posted to my blog! (If anyone knows how to make them bigger from FLICKR or how to upload from a different image server like photobucket please feel free to message me!!) I am pretty pleased with the way this set is going, and will keep you posted on progress!

Really nice! I have been struggling with a game board I am working on and can certainly appreciated the work that has gone into those! Awesome work!

And of course I would suggest the Leeds Roller Dolls ( www.leedsrollerdolls.co.uk/) as that is the team my wife is in! Just played Birmingham Central City on Saturday actually!

Hey sithcundman! I was planning on putting together a set a while back but got kinda sidetracked with the Horror Minis and work on my boardgame. Having said that, I want to flesh out the steampunk stuff when things calm down a little and I already have a re-color of some on the Hoard figs. I don't have a timescale, but stay tuned!

Well folks, at long last I am finally set up on RPG now! My first re-release is the Free Survival Horror Hoard, now available at www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=78005! I have re-designed the DARKMOOK logo: and updated the product image: and have also started a blog to post updates, sketches and new product releases at darkmook.blogspot.com/I plan on re-releasing the old sets over the next couple of weeks and am working on a new set at the moment(as well as continuing work on the board game!) I will still be updating here too of course as things progress! And big thanks again to Jim for all his encouragement!

Hey thanks folks! I am really snowed under at work at the moment, but I managed to get some new bases and a re-color done this week for the game, as well as sketches for 2 more hunters. I will post when I get them finished up and the chance!
Magpiestear-my figs have taken a quick break as Jim was hosting them for me. I am hoping to get them back up from this week, starting with the free Hoard set and Set 1-Last Man Standing.
Thanks again to Jim for all his help and encouragement too!

Hey ADS! Been super busy these past few weeks, so haven't really progressed much further than rule bashing a little and modifying some card designs-and making some doors! I plan on the 'basic' game coming with some of the previously released minis, and character cards for all the stuff I have put out, including the free Hoard minis. I am thinking of the cop and inmate zombies, as well as maybe Hodder and/or Gunnar. The hunters would be exclusive to the game most likely, as well as a new ' BOSS' character. I will let folks know if I need further playtesters, but that will be well into the new year-I am still sorting the image files for my move to independence on RPG Now! Just to whet your whistles, here are some of the WIP cards: Cheers!

OK folks-as well as getting my images etc together for the switch to publishing on my own rather than through JIM, I have been tinkering away at a set of rules, board, cards, doors etc for my minis, imaginatively titled SURVIVAL HORROR. The first version is set over 3 levels of the besieged SHPD police station, and I have been playtesting the first scenario: The evening went well with a LOT of input to the rules, which have been heavily revised. A lot of tea, cider and pizza was consumed along the way, but the end result was a (relatively) smooth flowing, fun filled zombie game. The long suffering Bride of DARKMOOK has also been helping out with mini playtests (2 player and solo play should be a feature!), and we are finally bashing it into shape! I have started on the finished board using textures I have been working on: (Fastest fingers in the West!) More news to follow as and when it comes! This is NOT a quick process, but I will be adding pics and design stuff as I go along. Cheers!

Am still working on the breathers and a few other bits and bobs, and am also working on some product images etc for the stuff on RPGNow. I am a little out of full drawing commision at the moment as I started on my new half sleeve on Friday, and am still not quite fully functional yet LOL! Will be back to work soon enough tho! Cheers!

I tend to save my finished Photoshop images(once flattened as 300 dpi cmyk Jpeg) as a Photoshop PDF, then use Adobe Acrobat to convert them to multi page pdf. I think I may be pretty lucky as we have the latest version of this at work...

Hey folks! After requests for more breathers I started playing around with some ideas, and have the first zombie/monster hunter pretty much finished up: MiaIt will be a while before she is released as I want to get her crew together, but thought you might like a sneaky peak!
