Have you ever taken a glance at your collection and realized that there aren't really any monsters with shark fins on their base? Have you ever looked at the maps and noticed a distinct lack of blue squares anywhere? Do you ever wonder why nothing that swims in the black is represented in this game? Introducing Horrorclix: Depths. Depths is a themed expansion to Horrorclix centering around aquahorror movies in the vein of Jaws and folklore involving water.Toothy fish, shambling divers, and vengeful spirits of the deep await!
Contrary to my microset, Depths will be released in bursts of 4-5 figures a post to keep the header organized and to prevent a giant page of non-stop text. This will allow for easier discussion, and hopefully keep you on the edge of your seat!

DP001 - Piranha (Beast)
20 Points, AQ
5- 5- 5-X
7- 7- 6-X
10-10- 9-X
1- 1- 1-X
Ouroboros(SWARM) - This monster gets +1 to its attack for every monster that attacked
its target this turn., TINY(Unstoppable) Damage dealt to this monster is reduced to
1.
It's my firm belief that the first monster in a set should show off exactly what the
entire line is about. Piranha is a real world terror turned horror movie B-Lister and
a go-to fish for campy water horror. In Horrorclix, it retains its tendency to hunt
in packs with the addition of a new Ouroboros ability: Swarm. Swarm inflates its
chance to hit its target and Piranha's low point cost makes it an ideal monster to
toss in by the dozen. Its mediocre defense is bolstered by the addition of another
new power: Unstoppable. Unstoppable reflects a monster's tendency to take even the
most vicious blow as if it were nothing, like when a slasher continues his hunt with
several bullets to the chest and a knife through his skull. Using this power, Pirahna
will be easily hit but not easily put down, proper for depicting a struggling monster
flailing at a swarm and scoring glancing blows at jumping fish.
DP002 - Moray (Beast)
45 Points, AQ
5- 5- 5- 4- 4- 4-X
8- 8- 8- 8- 8- 8-X
14-14-14-13-13-13-X
2- 2- 2- 1- 1- 1-X
Hide(STEALTH), TUNNEL - Give this monster a move action and place it on any
unoccupied bloodspot.
Moray eels, though reclusive in real life, have picked up a taste for blood. Crevice-
dwelling hunters that lash out from small rock caves, they are able to remain well
hidden and travel unseen.
DP003- Bloated Zombie (Undead, Zombie)
30 Points
3- 3- 3- []- 3- 3- []-X
7- 7- 7- []- 5- 5- []-X
14-13-14-10-12-12-10-X
1- 1- 1- []- 1- 1- []-X
Ouroboros(Swollen) - When this monster dies, deal 1 penetrating damage to all
adjacent monsters.
An unfortunate sailor who's corpse has taken on more water than his decaying body can
handle. A sloshing monstrousity that lumbers around at a snail's pace, this monster's
real strength is the ability to explode. The addition of the hourglass click at the
end allows experienced players the chance to run away as it slumps to the floor and
swells!
DP004- Sandman (Spirit)
80 Points
8- 4- 4- 9- 4- 4- 8- 4- 4-10-X
[]- 9- 9-[]- 9- 8-[]- 8- 8-[]-X
[]-15-15-[]-14-14-[]-13-13-[]-X
[]- 2- 2-[]- 2- 2-[]- 1- 1-[]-X
Ouroboros(Set Free)- When this monster takes damage and an hour glass shows on its
dial, stop clicking the dial., DESTABILIZED(Ghost)
A vengeful spirit manifesting itself as a body made entirely of swirling sand, this
beachside haunter is easily dispelled but flies forth like a screaming banshee when
it does so. Defeating Sandman is no easy task. Monsters will be forced to chase it
down as it rematerializes elsewhere, making this piece a great (if fragile) tie up.
Its figure would be a swirl of sand surrounding a vaguely humanoid slouch cast in
transparent glittery brown plastic.

I love the use of Ghost on Sandman. This set looks promising.

I love sea horrors. Anything from a deadly fish, to a Lovecraftian horror inspires a primal fear of the unknown in the depths of the vast oceans. I haven't seen so many Ouroboros powers in a set so far, but these make each monster unique and i have a feeling we are going to see more of them in this set.
I am looking forward to the upcoming stuff as well, i like the set.

I'm not planning on making any figure mods just yet as I lack the tools to do so. And don't ever worry about asking permission to make a mod inspired by anything I have done! That's the best thing anyone can ever do!

DP005- Cutlass Ghost (Spirit) 30 Points, AQ Range 3/ 5- 5- 5- 4- 4- 4-X 7- 7- 7- 8- 8- 8-X 13-12-12-13-12-12-X 2- 2- 2- 1- 1- 1-X PIRATE'S CURSE: When a monster deals damage to Cutlass Ghost, roll a die. On a result of 1, that monster is now insane., DOWN WITH THE SHIP(Retibutive Strike) A pirate who's soul clawed its way to shore, this specter seeks revenge for the loss of loot, ship, and crew. Because sea men are a superstitious bunch, I felt it apt to include that in Cutlass Ghost. Cutlass Ghost is a very attractive target stat-wise but Down With The Ship and Pirate's Curse provide ample deterrent. Every attack is a gamble but thankfully this ghoul doesn't have much in the way of protection! Use plot twists and throwaways to keep him down and spare yourself a haunt! DP006- Zombie Diver (Undead, Zombie) 130 Points, AQ 3- 2- 2-[]- 2- 2 - 2- []- 2- 2- 1-X 10-10-10-[]-10-10- 9- []- 9- 9- 9-X 17-17-17-14-16-16-16-13-16-16-16-X 4- 3- 3-[]- 4- 3- 3- []- 3- 2- 2-X DIVING SUIT(Invulnerable) One tug means help, two tugs means everything's okay, but what's several frantic tugs? Zombie Diver was just the equivalent of canned sardines for his zombified assailants but he's pure tank for your team. He needs the assistance of faster monsters to keep them tied down but when he gets in he hits hard. DP007- Anaconda (Beast) 50 Points, AQ 5- 5- 5- 5- 4- 4- 3- 3-X 9- 9- 9- 8- 8- 8- 8- 8-X 14-14-13-12-12-12-12-12-X 2- 2- 1- 1- 1- 1- 1- 1-X SUBMERGE, SQUEEZE(Torture) The silent squeezer, the terror of the Amazon, the water serpent stalks. Designing Anaconda was a bit of a challenge, as I wanted to make it different than Base Set's Constrictor and this set's Moray. It took a few rewinds through Anaconda but the feel finally came to me, and we introduce a second new power! Anaconda can make use of Submerge to travel through waterways with enhanced defense, a power that givies some water monsters additional tactical advantages on their turf that are appropriately stripped on land. The use of Submerge combined with Torture makes Anaconda an ambush piece that hides in waterways and strikes with overwhelming immobilizing force against a single opponent. DP008- Diver Dave (Guardian) 25 Points, AQ Range: 4/ 5- 5- 5- 5- 4- 4-X 8- 8- 8- 8- 7- 7-X 14- 13- 13- 13-12-12-X 2- 2- 2- 2- 2- 1-X SPEAR GUN(Hunter): Damage this monster deals to monsters with aquatic movement is penetrating., SCUBA(Submerge)Just your average clam shucker caught up in a battle between the forces of evil, only this one is fighting back! Diver Dave is at home in an aquatic environment, and deals penetrating damage to anything that can swim. He's a great addition to a team on a water-filled map, or against anything that would have an advantage there! DP009- Tiki Terror (Fury, Killer) 25 Points 5- 5- 4- 4- 4- 4-X 8- 7- 7- 7- 6- 6-X 13-13-13-13-12-12-X 1- 1- 1- 1- 1- 1-X OOGA(Trap), BUGGA(Agony)
An island savage molded into the horrifying guise of a spear-weilding totem by black magic, Tiki Terrors are best launched at a fatigued opponent in packs. At only 25 points, there's no way you can go wrong with this little imp.

Once again I love monsters. How did the Zombie Diver die? I can't get my brain around it to see of how to make a figure.

I like them all, once again you came up with more original ideas and flavor. I like the Pirate's Curse new power. Do you think it could be better to give it a universal keyword so it can be used in the future on thematic monsters (spirits, ghosts etc)? It could read like this : PIRATE'S CURSE (Haunt): When a monster deals damage to this monster, roll a die. On a result of 1, that monster is now insane. Just an idea , keep it up, i love this set so far!

Imagine a very old diving suit, like the one you see in those 1950 scifi movies, similar to the ones that inspired the Big Daddies of Bioshock. Now imagine a cracked open helmet and bite marks through tears in the suit. This was a guy who was swarmed by waterlogged zombies and succumbed to his fate underwater.

I like it. I can see beating the crap out people trying to bite them with that big brass helm.

Hey, I'm not dead I promise.
30 hour work weeks combined with full time school means absolutely no free time and I apologize for just leaving everybody hanging. I'm trying my best to still make content though!
