Of course, the Mouse Hero Cards show you what colors you are *supposed* to use for the various mice. And I see that most painted minis in the pics section follow that color scheme. Many of the painted minis look amazing, but...
I still find myself wishing there were a little bit more variety in the color. Collin has a red cloak; Lily has a green cloak; Tilda has a purple-trimmed robe; and Maginos has a red-trimmed robe. Filch and Nez have no colors besides sundry browns and grays.
Considering that most of the enemies aren't very colorful either (except maybe the Caterpillar), this makes for a fairly dull palette of minis. Which is a real shame, considering the variety of colors in the backgrounds. Furthermore, your brother who plays blue and your girlfriend who plays yellow won't be very happy, since there are no minis with those colors.
Here's what I'm thinking:
-Collin can have a red cloak, as before. Red is a decent color for a leader.
-Lily can have a green cloak, as before. Or perhaps she has green clothes under her cloak. Ever since Robin Hood, green has been a suitable color for an archer.
-Tilda can stay purple. However, white mouse with a white robe might be a little too much white. I would consider either making the robe purple (perhaps with white trim) or keeping the robe the color it is, and making Tilda's fur a light, soft gray.
-Maginos could have a blue robe. Ever since Merlin, blue has been an excellent color for wizards. It would make a nice contrast with the ladybug familiar, too. Blue is the favorite color of many players.
-Nez could have a yellow smock. Lots of players play yellow.
-Filch could have an orange cloak. Or perhaps a gray cloak. Or maybe Filch could stay brown... if he was the only brown-colored character left.
I know this isn't strictly "canon," but I feel like it might spice the color scheme up a bit. Thoughts?
The flaws all start jumping out when you see them that close-up.
