Eldritch Empires, Lovecraft in 6mm

[TheBlueShoggoth]

As a side-project and break from primeval Abyssian, I’ve been wanting to sculpt in a differnet scale, so I’ve decided to try and fullfil my dream of an HPL set mythos wargame. No idea if itll ever happen, but I thought it couldn’t hurt to try doing some sculpts and see how things go.

I have a ton of ideas for this, assuming there will be enough interest for it but at the current I want it to be a mass-battle game between Flying Polyps and Yithians, with a Human faction (who are imbued with the power of Nodens). Theres lots of things i’d like to do such as titan-scale stuff including enourmous lovecraft monsters and gigantic floating temples and the like. This is all just a pipe dream at current though, so I guess it will depend on whether anyone is even interested in anything like this.

To start with, I decided on doing a couple of Polyp figures. The smaller one (roughly 8mm) and the larger one (roughly 13mm) would make up the bulk of a Polyp force :





I plan to try doing a yithian next.

That sir, is an awesome concept.

I'm not sure how I could help you with this, but I'm in!

Anything Cthuluesque in 6mm would be a winner I think. I like what you did with these guys, hope you can stick with this and we can see where it goes.

Titan sized Locecraftian horrors, what's not to like!

Indeed, it's a very appealing idea, the chance to fight the battles between the Elder things & Chtulhu's spawn as mentioned 'At The Mountains Of Madness', or Yithians & their rebellious Shoggoths.

I've worked on the Flying polyps more.





I've done 5 poses of the basic invader, 2 of the more definitive polyps - Dominators, and an airship type one that is currently a work in progress.

Nice mate, very fleshy!

I'm not as familiar with the mythos as I should be, would there be a ground force along with the floaty / flying critters you have here?

Cheers.

[TheBlueShoggoth]

i don't think they'd have any ground forces as they are all collectively described as "Flying" polyps. i probably wouldn't do any ground forces for them personally - as I like that they all float/fly. They were described as conquerers too, so I like to think their ability to fly/float adds to feel of them being invasive, dominating and mobile aggressors.

[Amonglions]

I got myself a little turned around there, I was mixing and matching the Polyps with the Yith. Just did a quick wiki binge to refresh my memory.

Cheers!

Ah ok! yithians will definitely get ground forces - infantry and grav-tanks and stuff like that hopefully.

Ah ok! yithians will definitely get ground forces - infantry and grav-tanks and stuff like that hopefully.

Not versed in the myths either, but they would make great aliens for more general sci-Fi!

[Amonglions]

How's this going?

Did you do anymore work on your sculpts?

Cheers.

I've put it on hold at current as there wasn't enough interest. I'm currently working stuff for a science fiction web-series instead (It's a about aliens that live in a void or "shell" that surrounds our the universe)
