I’ve been wracking my brains trying to figure out proxies
for the Nullmen; the protagonists in the Pits of Null scenario from the
Sellsword expansion.
Now, Sellsword states that Nullmen are strange beings resistant to magic, nearly
featureless humanoids that glow with an unearthly grey light.
My first thought was to use alien Greys, of which there are
many manufacturers. However looking at the scenario, you need a whole bunch of
Nullmen (starting the game with four, with another spawning each turn). Do I
really want to fork out for loads of Greys (and do all the conversion work to
make them look less sci-fi) for just one scenario?
So I have decided on a cheaper approach – Null Shadow men! These are simply two-dimensional versions of the Nullmen –
shadow figures of pure null anti-magic.
I did a search for 2D paper figures and found a suitably
monstrous looking chap from a superheroes page. I then turned this into a black
silhouette and tweaked each one by adding various lumps and rough facial
features in MS Paint.
I can now resize these to 28mm-ish size and either print them out
onto card or possibly ask someone to be kind enough to laser cut them or
somesuch. I reckon 2 lots (i.e. 10 figures) should do the trick.
