Wow, that's a tough bunch of minis to follow, the Wormpile is fantastic (& now added to the 'to-buy' list), Figouze's Proto-Shoggoth is one of the nicest examples I've seen of this mini & Klener Zorn's Deep One priest is great, a truly characterful model.
 Ok, here's my most recent addition, a Ghoul (an excellent Heresy model);

 "Most of the bodies, while roughly bipedal, had a forward slumping, and a vaguely canine cast."

My modest attempt at a deep one. Limited pallete picked up enroute to ski trip.

Ghoul King


 “It was a colossal and nameless blasphemy with glaring red eyes, and it held in bony claws a thing that had been a man, gnawing at the head as a child nibbles at a stick of candy. Its position was a kind of crouch, and as one looked one felt that at any moment it might drop its present prey and seek a juicier morsel. But damn it all, it wasn’t even the fiendish subject that made it such an immortal fountain-head of all panic—not that, nor the dog face with its pointed ears, bloodshot eyes, flat nose, and drooling lips. It wasn’t the scaly claws nor the mould-caked body nor the half-hooved feet—none of these, though any one of them might well have driven an excitable man to madness.” (“Pickman’s Model”)

Well, not quite, but he'll have to do  ;)

Some fantastic entries so far!

Hound of Tindalos

"They are lean and athirst!" he shrieked... "All the evil in the universe was concentrated in their lean, hungry bodies. Or had they bodies? I saw them only for a moment, I cannot be certain."
—Frank Belknap Long, "The Hounds of Tindalos"



This is one of the Achtung! Cthulhu Hounds of Tindalos. Really nice little model, if a little delicate to put together.

LPC - 51 Huge Deep-one



“Them things told the Kanakys that ef they mixed bloods there’d be children as ud look human at fust, but later turn more’n more like the things, till finally they’d take to the water an’ jine the main lot o’ things daown thar. An’ this is the important part, young feller—them as turned into fish things an’ went into the water wouldn’t never die. Them things never died excep’ they was kilt violent.” (“The Shadow Over Innsmouth”)

When Lead Adventures put out a Pulp Adventurer called "Phillip Von Kraft", I just had to have it.

Highly appreciated!  :)

To be true, the mini was driving me nuts; I kept finding details I had forgotten, and I skipped painting some (very small) maggot-like thingies on the right shoulder, because I wanted to round off working on him.

I am pretty content with the result - he should strike fear in the hearts of any Treshold agents crossing his path  lol

Hmmm... I need rules for catching victims with that chained meat hook to draw them in for proper treatment with the cleaver  >:D

Lpc- 53  reapers eldritch horror


  The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
(“The Call of Cthulhu”, August or September 1926)

Ages ago I hosted the "Shadows of Yog Sothoth" campaign for our group. The single monster from that entire campaign that still comes up is: The Crawling One, a man shaped horror composed of countless maggots.


Very nice, I have that figure and was planning to paint him for this :) Too late...
That was a fun CoC campaign.
