Very comprehensive review, thank you! I'm seriously tempted to get this one. Are you aware of any list stating which monsters appear in the game (and its supplements, if possible)? The only thing my searches bring up are Boardgamegeek pdfs which require membership to open. The reason I ask is that this game gets my painting fingers twitching: I prefer metals to plastic, and love relatively small, focused projects like this. Any guidance would be much appreciated!
If it helps, the critters I'd love to tackle are:
Deep Ones
Mi-Go
Ghouls
Hounds of Tindalos
Great Race of Yith
Sand Dwellers
Night Gaunts
The usual suspects, really. Deity types would be fun too: Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, Tsuthoggua
