Hi everyone,
My name is Cig Neutron and I'm a sculptor and painter. To start sculpting the Miniatures, I created an armature with floral wire. Then I start adding epoxy, for this I prefer magic sculpt. I build up in layers, first roughing out the forms of the body. I let that cure, which gives me a nice generic body form to sculpt on. I then go in and add details like clothes, hair, etc. letting each new detail cure, so I don't accidentally mess up the sculpt as I'm working on another part. Once the sculpting is done, it's time to paint. I prime the sculpts with grey primer. After that, I build up my colors using acrylics, occasionally doing a dark wash here and there to pick up the detail. I prefer the brand Createx. The paints are made to be run through an airbrush, so they are nice and fluid. Once the basic painting is done, I do a little dry brush to highlight certain areas then seal the piece with a matte medium.

Several weeks ago, I started working on a new game called The Amityville Project: Phobos: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/130583/the-amityville-project-phobos
The game is moving at 1960's in the Amityville City and it's about a very strange experiment created by the Syndicate, a dark organization. Phobos is the first part of this world and will be launched on Kickstarter on September 1! The main character of this project is the Detective Ed Sullivan who tries to solve the Syndicate mystery and uncover their dark plans. A device capable of reforming the people mind's turning them onto lab pets is the beginning of this mystery. Will the Detective be able to trap Syndicate? Well we all have to wait and see what will happen. Phobos is an Interactive, Horror, Competitive, Miniature Game for 2-4 players! You can try out the print n play Version of the game herehttp://magecompany.com/pnp.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"> http://magecompany.com/pnp.html. As I know the folks from MAGE Company have prepared a lot of promo horror Miniatures and several variants..I guess this game will be just great at the end.

Also the 2nd part of this project is now available and you can download it: The Amityville Project: Lethargos. http://magecompany.com/pnp.html. Lethargos is the sequel of Phobos and is a totally new game with new Minis, a co-operative horror Miniature game for 3-6 players. The last part of this project is called Erevos and is about the final battle in a dark city.. I have to wait until the campaign is launched and see of the MAGE folks reveal more info on that. As far as I know they will also prepare a nice comic if the stretch goal allow it. Back to my work. Here are the ghosts which are included in Phobos!

The Spider Ghost. The spider ghost is the mutation of one of the Phobos Characters: Bobby Coop Jr. a little kid.., murdered by the members of Syndicate and this ghost now lives inside the detective's head..Ed Sullivan.. Check out the story on Board Game Geek, there is a description.

The Kraken Ghost. The kraken ghost is the mutation of another of the Phobos Characters: Rosa Delfino a woman.., murdered by the members of Syndicate and this ghost now lives inside the detective's head..Ed Sullivan..

The Zombie Ghost. The zombie ghost is the mutation of another of the Phobos Characters: Chakalin a man.., also murdered by the members of Syndicate and this ghost now lives inside the detective's head..Ed Sullivan..

The Serpent Ghost. The zombie ghost is the mutation of the last? of the Phobos Characters: Henriette Lewis a woman.., also murdered by the members of Syndicate and this ghost now lives inside the detective's head..Ed Sullivan..


What connects these characters? Well based on the story, they were the detective's family, but why the Syndicate killed them? Well you will discover it soon, I guess... Here is also the components of the game as well as the game box.

I think your going to catch some hell for this project.

Some of your concept is pretty cool, some of it is ingredients for a train wreck.

The minute you start talking murder, then mix in... kids... well, just saying.

When you say "hell" is for good or bad?
Basic there is a sample of the story on BoardGameGeek, if I'm remember...the kid (is just one) was the detective's son and was murdered by the syndicate. Phobos is something like: eraser, the amityville asylum mixed in a dark environment.

Your going to catch hell with this game pushing this right in people faces. Bad.

The real life Amityville was a mass killing by a nut, they later made a pretty creepy movie on it, and spun off a few sequals and a gak remake. Out of all that, though The town doesn't really dig the "Entertainment" values as much as people who've made money off of this thing think they do.

Then to top it off, you are outright putting the concept up that's pretty strange to begin with, and doing it in a way that's not really interesting or entertaining. Why exactly, do I want to drop fifty or sixty bucks on this? The guys already dead, what do I care about him, or this "Syndicate" thing?

After a year of preparations our new game is finally ready ready.
The Amityville Project: Phobos is a Horror Miniature Game for 2 -4 players and we just launched it on Kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/magecompany/the-amityville-project-phobos

and it will be great if you support us.
Another finished Miniature of the game. More are coming!



The game has nothing to do with any movie or anything relevant. Is a concept we thought to create.

I remember reading this thread months ago. Looks interesting. A game play video posted on the main kickstarter page would help a lot!

Horror, Mystery, Crime, a Detective, a cold and dark city. This is the Amityville place and here the Amityville Project: Phobos begins. A new fast paced Miniature game for 2 - 4 players which combines strategy and skills to survive and dominate in the Dream World!

We launched the game and we hope you like it!

Undead Viking Review

This KS looks great. I've had a good deal of interaction with the MAGE Company guys & hey're really cool. Not oo mention really excited about their series of Amittyville Project games. Phobos is just the first of three planned games, all linked, telling one big, long, exciting story!

Plus the KS looks to be a very good deal. In fact, he $400 everything painted level is an incredible deal. Most painted deals are in the quadruple digits & don' cover more than the base game. So what good is the base game painted up but all the extras sitting there, unpainted & outta place? MAGE Company's The Amittyville Project; Phobos painted level is not only a great deal, but also includes all extras that are attained through stretch goals. If you're a not a painter, like myself, everything painted (80+ intricately detailed models) for $400 is a dream come true!

Can't wait to see what the future holds for MAGE Company's The Amittyville Project; Phobos & beyond!


Blaster was here...

Great looking progression on the models. Well done!

What material are the miniatures made of?

The minis are made by PVC. They will be hard plastic and well protected inside the gamebox!

Phobos gets funded and...more horror news!
