Yours look boss! The purples, blues and greens are really amazing.

Quick question, how hard would it be for someone with no modeling skills to remove / leave off the proboscises?

If you can wait a couple months I think these guys are going to show up as plastics in the 'Bones' line, which would make them very easy to modify.

Post by: Elk101 on 13 October 2012, 08:16:32 AM: I can see these appearing in an EotD faction. Lovely paintjob. I rather like the lantern fish look. There would be loads of potential with plastics.

I've not seen illicium on Deep Ones before. Maybe because I've always been running away from them as fast as possible...

Incredible.

Aggro,

I think you glue them on to begin with so it's just a matter of leaving them off and filling the hole.

Yeah, I've heard nothing but good things about the "Bones" line. As opposed to "Fail Cast" ;D

That's what I thought. I'm pretty sure filling in a hole is within the scope of my modeling skills. :D

Those are amazing! What's the name of the mini?

Post by: Froggy the Great on 26 October 2012, 01:42:23 AM: Those are "Tiik Warriors" by Reaper Miniatures.

Post by: Profane Creation on 26 October 2012, 04:55:17 PM: Thanks :) I do love the paintup! :-*

Figures themselves remind me of some of the art from the CoC card game. Ancient Deep One or whatever. Would do for "pure-bred" ones that haven't changed from human.

Post by: Uncle Mike on 26 October 2012, 10:53:57 PM: Great choice of colours! Just painted these up myself (minus the weird angler fish thingy) and they are great figs!

Tiik Warriors, I believe. From Reaper.
