Title: Khurasan miniatures - 15mm Cthulhu
Post by: Paddy649 on March 09, 2012, 03:05:11 PM
Khurasan miniatures have recently released these in their 15mm Post-Apocalyptic
range.  To me they look perfect for the Cthulhu mythos.

I'll be picking some up when i order some of their Deep Ones and Jersey Devils:

This one company is starting to make 15mm Cthulhu into a reality  :)

Very nice. Pendraken is 10mm, not 15, but check their dungeon monsters anyway:

and particularly these ones:

I plan to use 15mm for Call of Cthulhu.

I'm glad you like them, Paddy!  Yes, I actually had to decide which range to release the gutter gophers in, as they could work well as Eldritch Horror as well.

The Great Ba-He-Mot range within my Litter Carinthia (Eldritch Horror) line (the great Worm Goat Himself, as well as his minions) is not strictly canon for eldritch horror, but I liked the idea of a great demon from Earth vying for control of the planet with the star god Himself -- a war of the demons if you will.  And of course humanity trying to stop the whole thing.

Of course there's stuff in the range that is purely canon too.

There are a few things in my Adventure ranges that I think would work well as Eldritch Horror as well, such as the Sponk from my sci fi line:

And the Vornids too, which could fit in quite nicely, and they are a fairly well developed range with lots of poses.

Example:

So best to poke around a bit!  :)

....Sponks - of course!  For me they are so busy providing the close combat support to sci-fi sharkmen and Orcas that I overlooked their use for cthulhu.

However, top of my wish list for 15mm cthulhu are some really nice human cultists.  I can't fnd any nice ones anywhere.

sadly there aren't any good ones :/. I hope someone will do those soon. Maybe you could also try medieval monk type miniatures? With some headswaps / greenstuff sculpted hoods, you can make some yourself.

Ah, Khurasan - I remember saying how id never get into 15mm to a friend - and then he links me to their site and I end up buying those awesome "Things from beyond" and enjoying their squiggly abstract horror.

The Vornids are nice too I agree, first time iv seen decent plant aliens I must admit.

Is there an european distributor for Khurasan figures? I bought the non-Cthulhu-Cthulhu from them a while back and it never arrived (sometimes happens with packages from the US.) I'd like to have one anyway, but I don't want to risk it.

Jon doesn't have a European distributor. Email him though to report the problem.

Hats off to Jon. A+ customer service. My order got probably stolen on the way (no package travels for 4 months...), he is sending me a new one.

Khurasan is a great little company (or rather, one-man-band?) in many ways.  Service is one of them.  And yes, sadly things still  :o disappear :o in the post!  I recently lost a Rebel minis order that just.. never arrived.  They re-shipped it, of course.
