Can you make a creature to terrify and delight us?
Your chance to feature in Halloween Horrors and win Modiphius goodies!
It may be the height of summer, but the solstice has just passed and winter is now firmly on the way. With Horrors of the Secret War just released on pre-order in the UK and US, our thoughts are already turning to our annual Halloween Horrors celebration—which means it’s competition time!
The Challenge
With The Norway Projekt to follow swiftly after and snow and ice a dominant theme, this year’s Halloween Horrors have a decidedly winter/cold/arctic theme.
So, we want you to design a creature that will not only scare the living daylights out of your agents (and us), but is worthy enough to feature amongst this year’s beasties!
Create a monster that inhabits the cold, snow and ice and which could feature in a short mission set in an ancient stone age village.
Impress us with your creativity and originality and try to create a unique and memorable creature with a distinct look and feel. Drawing on existing mythology can provide some inspiration but we want something more original and terrifying than variations on abominable snowmen or yetis.
If you want to include a sketch or drawing too that’d be great although it’s not essential as we’ll be commissioning a full colour artwork from one of Modiphius’s finest to bring your creation to life. Oh, and NO AI-generated art or text, please.
You can even check out our latest release, Horrors of the Secret War and past Halloween Horrors for some inspiration!
The Reward
The winner will not only get $100 credit to spend on the Modiphius store but will also have their creature featured as one of this year’s Halloween Horrors with a full colour artwork by a professional artist. Runners up will earn themselves $50 Modiphius store credit and an honourable mention in dispatches.
