(Commercial) Dark young of Shub-Niggurath, new model.

We've added a Dark young of Shub-Niggurath to our North Star Horror range.

It's a resin model, available now.

Very nice, I like it a lot. Hits all the classic Dark Young features and is decently sized. Will be adding it to my coming order. Only reason I haven't ordered the Deep Folk and Dagon Posse is because after you showed off the Deep Folk my interest was piqued by Dracula's America and (although I most likely will never get to play it) I just got the final supplement, Forbidden Power. So wanted to figure out everything I wanted and order it in one clip. Thanks for continuing to issue more of the line, and hope to see more in your new horror section even after you finish off the Locecraftian cuties. FHTAGN!
We haul ours to kick theirs.

Cheers diehard.

Still working through the other Cthulhu inspired monsters in Dracula's America, so more to come.

Very good.

The only problem is I will have to build some woods for them to hide in.

Imagine 1000 of them, like a dark forest on the table-top...

The best rendition of a Dark Young I've seen so far. The RAFM one is great but a little bit too otherworldly  ;D for my tastes, and the Fantasy Flight Games one is just silly.

Well, tastes vary, but I'll take the Reaper Bones Dark Young at half the cost, twice the size, and a better match for Lovecraft's actual descriptions of the thing:



Make a decent random chaos spawn/alien horror or even a proto-shoggoth though.

Sculpting style with the shorter, thicker tentacles would be a good match for the Cthulhu Wars/Fenris version, though.  Maybe make a force with them as variant breeds or something.
