so i guessed i could need a toppic where i post my strange aeons stuff
let m,e start off with a car i bought on a flea market today and that got a new paintjob
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/car.jpg)
allthough i think it may be too new a model....for only 2€ it was quite the nice catch
and the new paintjob wörks pretty well
-
Nice work on the truck.
It looks good with its repaint and scales up nicely too.
:-* :-*
What make is it?
I also see a couple of familiar looking Cultists checking it out too.
:D
-
its a 1:43 model made by some company calles WELLY and it was neon green in the beginning ;)
and yepp im currently painting 5 of them and will post them when finished
-
Great looking cast there. The truck definitely scales up nicely
-
Great paintwork there!
-
thanks...heres another car
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/car-2.jpg)
-
Great work!
-
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/car-3.jpg)
and another car finished....
i must say 1:43 cars really make GREAT terrain pieces.....and they are pretty cheap and easy to get...
i just entered 1:43 Oldtimer into ebay and bought 3 cars for 1€ each
if i want to spend some more time i suppose i could pick specific models for specific years / areas... but to be honest ...i couldnt make out the differences anyways...so i just stuck for pre 1930s cars
-
Yea, I'm waiting on some atm - 1:43 though technically not the right scale works so much better with miniatures that are based
-
Lovely, KZ!
:-*
And the touch of irony with the owner.
lol lol
-
Nothing like freshly caught Innsmouth fish :)
-
Thanks for the tip on the Welly vehicle- I scored one for about $6 total, and it's great.
-
Im glad to hear that :D
i did another terrain pice just to test some new methods for applying dirt to the base ....and to create some gravestones
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/friedhof.jpg)
all in all it works pretty well i think
-
Nicely done.
8)
Like the inscriptions on the stones.
:D ;)
-
Great work! Also makes for a scene of horror you could use in the game!
-
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/cultists2.jpg)
i finished painting 5 of Masons Cultists for my Kult of Cthulhu
-
Wooo-Hooo!
Excellent!
:-* :-*
This is the first time that I have seen these painted up (I have not finished any myself yet.... ::)).
8)
Looking forward to seeing the rest of them coloured in.
:D
Could I use your picture in a 'customers gallery' when I have the website sorted?
-

shure
im glad you like the way they look
-
Looking great so far. I'm envious of the vehicles too; that scale seems rather scarce around my city.
-
i finished painting the Cult Leader and a peace of terrain
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/cult-leader.jpg)
aaand a mutated cultist i did for fun
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/cultist-mutant.jpg)
-
Great work! The cult leader and that stone are great idea - I can see how this could come in handy with summoning scenarios!
And that cultist...is that a Mantic zombie hidden behind the mutations? lol

I had some free time on my hands so i took group shots of my finished stuff
Dagonite Cultists of Cthulhu , Cars, and the Cult Leader Necronomicon
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/cultists-cars.jpg)
Priests of Cthulhu , Hybrids and Deep Ones
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/deep-ones.jpg)
and some random Monstrositys
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/monsters.jpg)
-
Fantastic! :o
-
:o :o :o
Amazing!
Whilst I love all of your collection thus far, those Monstrosities of your own design are top drawer!
Great concept, design and paintjobs.
:-* 8) :-*
-
Great stuff!
-
Thanks !
-
Great photos and a good spread. I will need to go and find some Dreamblade stuff...some really, really far out stuff there. ;D 8) o_o

Be warned, Uncle Mike, that these Dreamblade things can be pretty big.
Ok for monsters etc but the humans are about 35-40mm tall.
-
yeah they can be quite big, the woman with the scepter is a dreamblade mini
and most dreamblade humans look like crap anyway.... but monster wise theres tons and tons of minis that you can choose from
-
Agreed, just want some crazy big 'things'...they look like a real gas to paint.
-
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/old-house.jpg)
Heres a better picture of the House i buldt for testing purposes.... it worked well and if i can build a house from an old pizza carton, i guess i can now use the styrodur-catron i have bought ,without fucking up the result
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/old-house-walls.jpg)
i also did build some smaller walls from styrodur
-
Oho! I like.
The walls and the boarded up windows are especially good. :-*
-
thanks
yeah....i thought about an easy way to gt shoddy houses that look innsmuth...ish..... so boardet up windows make sense
-
Oho! I like.
The walls and the boarded up windows are especially good. :-*
I have to agree.
Those windows look pretty forbidding to me.

-
Those are looking great, really nice work.
Quick question. Are you slicing thin strips off a large sheet of thick styrodur, or are you buying thin sheets of it? I can only seem to find thick blocks designed for loft insulation and cutting that up into thin pieces for walls is a pain
-

Another deepone PIP
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/deep-one-river-troll-pip.jpg)
I had one of the old Warhammer Fantasy Rivertrolls…..(the metal ones) in my Bitzbox and decited to convert it into a deepone
so i gave it a fishy head with bulging eyes….mostly to test how it will look…and i must say , allthough it looks like kermit the Frog goung Hulk on someones ass, im happy how it turned out
im getting better at painting eyes ( something i suck at since years) and the light reflexes look nice. Also the pus filled bubbles on the beasts belly pop out nice
now on to basing this beast…….
Cheers
-
He's looking suitably fishy, great job on the new head!
Thanks for the link Mason
-
thanks...i wanted to achive a pulp look :D i think i succedet :D
-
Ha! Love the River Troll conversion :-* 8)
-

Great stuff!

(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/big-deep-one-finished.jpg)
finished it
-
That conversion made me grin ( in a good way!). Another great Plog. Nice to see another german dipping its toes into Strange Aeons.
Lass krachen, ich verfolge hier weiter :)!
-
BEHOLD THE MIGHTY ARTIFACT......or whatever i could use this as....( i have no idea to be honest)
But it looks MIGHTY FINE
i repainted a dreamblade Illuminati Pyramid to use in strange aeons
(http://farm8.static.flickr.com/7098/7280786580_2b4b6c81ec.jpg)
its a pretty weird looking model anyway so i thought it will make a great Atrifact for any Lovecraftian game
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/illuminati-pyramid.jpg)
and it does !!!
also im getting better at painting eyes
Share this:
-
Nice pj, disturbing piece good for a scene of horror.
But really nasty mouldline though :?
-
Wonderfully gross. Those eyes look perfect! Need Dreamblade stuff... o_o
-
Nice pj, disturbing piece good for a scene of horror.
But really nasty mouldline though :?
thanks and yeah...it the material is pretty easy to cut
its some kind of hard rubbery stuff....like toy dinosaurs....also...its cheap as nobody plays dreamblade
i once bought about 10 boosters containing i think 5 miniatures each for 7 €
they are blank boosters though so you dont know what you will get :D
-
Great stuff, i am also looking to get my Hands on some Dreamblade Minis. They are cheap to get and look SO DAMN WEIRD lol
-
Fantastically weird mini, love it! (nice paintjob too).
-
And heres another weird Mini
a repaint of a D&D Otyugh

Disturbing... in a good sort of way.
I've done a bit of converting with some of the dreamblade figs. Can be a real PITA to get off of their bases.
-
I like the artifact :)

I guess it may do.
I am just mental....

Good start! Really like the sculpt on the face/head on this model. Those eyes are begging for gloss!
-

Yeah, glossy eyes would work. Possibly black eyes with a glaze of red first?
I do like the model, great work
-
aaaand finished
didnt do the glossy eyes and went with creepy white eyes without pupils instead
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/tsathoggua.jpg)
He was very squat and pot-bellied, his head was more like a monstrous toad than a deity, and his whole body was covered with an imitation of short fur, giving somehow a vague sensation of both the bat and the sloth. His sleepy lids were half-lowered over his globular eyes; and the tip of a queer tongue issued from his fat mouth
—Clark Ashton Smith, ""The Tale of Satampra Zeiros""
In that secret cave in the bowels of Voormithadreth . . . abides from eldermost eons the god Tsathoggua. You shall know Tsathoggua by his great girth and his batlike furriness and the look of a sleepy black toad which he has eternally. He will rise not from his place, even in the ravening of hunger, but will wait in divine slothfulness for the sacrifice.
—Clark Ashton Smith, "The Seven Geases"
-
Seriously nice paintjob on that ugly bastard, mate.
Impressed!
:-* 8) :-*
-
You are an elder god of paint brushes!
-
Oh very nice. The blind white eyes do suit it
-
i am currently repainting a D&D nothic as some kind of Lovecraftian horror
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/nothic-repaint.jpg)
i set it up with a few more tentacles....and i think its going along fine !
do you guys have any idea as what i could use it ?
-
Weird!
:o
But I like it.
8)
-
Deep One, maybe?
-
BEWARE THE DEATH LOBSTER FROM SPACE !!!
as some of you may have noticed...i am now able to cast my own Fungi from Yuggoth
and heres the first finished / paindted version of it
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/mi-go-finished.jpg)
-
also i did build two more Mi -Go
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/2-more-mi-go.jpg)
-
They are seriously bizarre and creepy critturs.
8)
You have a very unique collection of gribbliness.

Great work!

thanks

Love the one flying!

Love the one flying!
thanks ...the tentacles look way better this way....but im not able to cast a head like this :)

as some of you may have seen i finished my yithians
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/yithian-finished.jpg)
so i wanted to ask ( as i dont have the rulebook now)
are there yithians in the current rules .... and if no...does anybody have an idea for rules for them
as in...how or as what i could use them
i guess i would have to draft up my own rules
-
There are no Yithians in the current rules. We do have some experimental rules floating 'round the gaming lounge however. Possibly they will make it into Second Edition...only time will tell. ???
-
how about a bribe :D
if you put them in...ill send you a yithian or two ;) :D ;) :D ;)
-
I finished a new piece of terrain
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/cthulhu-statue.jpg)
-
I like that!
8)
I did something similar, although nowhere near as monumental!
:o
-
Let's plant a little easter egg in this thread! Still testing, so feedback is welcome/encouraged.
Great Race of Yith - 8BP
M Dex. Con. A W Res. Skills
4 5+ 6/7 2 2 3+ None
Weapons: Appendages (C.C.B. +2, Dam. D+0)
Special: Alien (treat as Humanoid for now), Hideous
Mind Transfer: As an Action, a Yithian may attempt to swap its consciousness into the body of another model within 10”. Both the Yithian and the targeted model roll a D6 and add their Resolve (the Yithian rolls at a +2 penalty against Daemons, their minds being difficult to contain, and may never attempt to occupy the mind of a Godling). If the Yithian’s total is lower, it may briefly transfer its mind into the body of the target, ransacking its neural pathways in order to learn any one Skill possessed by the target model. Once learned, the Yithian may utilize the new Skill provided it meets the necessary prerequisites.
In the event of a critical success on the Yithian’s part, it steals the Skill outright, wiping the ability from its target’s mind for the remainder of the game. However, should the Yithian roll a critical failure, the target model overwhelms the mental link and steals a Skill from the Yithian (if it has any).
Threshold models, when permitted to steal a Yithian Skill, only gain that Skill for the remainder of the game.
Neural Shock: Yithians may attempt to utilize their remarkable mental faculties to briefly stun lesser minds. As an Action, select a target model within 10”: the target must pass a Resolve test or suffer a D+1 hit that automatically renders the target Face Up. Models that have previously been the successful victim of a Yithian Mind Transfer suffer a +2 penalty to Resolve when taking this test.
-
Mmmm...
Yithy. Er, Pithy.
Like where that is going. 8)
-
hah cool i like the rules
as soon as i get my rulbook im gonna test them :)
-
i finished another model its either a Investigtor oooor a Wizard
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/wizard-or-investigator.jpg)
its a repaint of a dreamblade miniature called whispering imp
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/6a11.jpg)
-
I did another Dreamblade repaint
well i did four
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/tattooed-squashbug-repaint.jpg)

-
I love the repaint on the 'wizard', what a cool figure to find.

thanks...
i had to shorten his legs a bit because as most dreamblade humans he was freakishly tall
and allthough he seems a bit sluggish now i think it works quite well
oh and the Magotty Dreamblade things are called Tattooed Squashbugs in case anybody wants to look them up......
-
Yuck!
In a good way! lol

(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/flying-turd-of-doom1.jpg)

BUT ! im really happy with the way it turned out

(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/flying-polyp.jpg)

-
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/flying-polyp-2.jpg)

-
Looking very good,
Should look superb when it's finished
Regards
Jim

(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/flying-polyp-finished.jpg)
i finally finished my flying polyp.... and my 3 investigators arrived

Nice work all around!
I love your DIY esthetic!
Reclaimed Dreamblades and scratch builds= Awesome.

British setting then, eh?
You will certainly be wanting some of my London Agents that are almost finished, then.
:D

soooooo i had my first game of strange aeons and heres the report i promised on it

Lurker :Cultist – 2 BP
Weapons: Bolt Action Rifle
Lurker :Cultist – 1,5 BP
Weapons: Club
Lurker :Cultist – 1,5 BP
Weapons: Club
Lurker :Cultist – 3 BP
Weapons: Double Barreled Shotgun
I rolled a scenario and got “Fight” and the Lurkers won the roll on who gets to set up first , also they won the roll on who gets to start
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/01.jpg)
The setup was simple…the threshhold agents have to stop a group of cultists doing whatever sinister things they are up to
Turn One Lurkers
The Leader gets nominated and proceeds to nominate The cultist with the Axeman ( used as a club in this scenario), Shotgun bob ( middle) and Squiddy ( the purple guy in the lower right)
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/02.jpg)
the cultists proceed to move in on the agentsby climbing over the wall and running towards their position
Round 1 Threshold
Derek gets nominated and uses his first action to nominate the other agents wich move towards the cultists in their first action
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/03.jpg)
Agent Sullivan uses his second action to shoot at squiddy but misses , Const William H. Ruters uses his second action to shoot at Shotgun bob hits and wounds him, blasting him back 3 inces over the wall where his face hits the dirt as he lies on the ground in pain , but the shotgun blast was not enough to kill him yet. Agent Rogers uses her 45. to shoot as Squiddy and wounds him resulting in the cultist falling to the floor in pain ,loosing conciusness.
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/04.jpg)
Turn 2 Lurkers
The Cultist Leader gets nominated and further nominates the two guys in the back ( at the trees) and the guy with the club next to the house
the two cultists at the back of the gaming board use their two actions to run towards the cult leader to protect him while the one with the club uses his actions to charge at Agent Ruthers. Also the cult leader shoots at Agent Sullivan but misses
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/05.jpg)
The Cultists messes up his attack but rolling a critical miss and Ruthers wounds him sending him down on the floor rolling a double 1 on the injury table , so the cultist is not finished yet
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/07.jpg)
Turn 2 Threshold
Sullivan gets nominated and nominates the others then moves into a better position
Meanwhile agent Ruthers kills the cultist
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/06.jpg)
he then shoots at one of the lurkers standing besides the Cult leader but misses
Agent rogers uses one cation to move into a better position and the second to shoots at one of the cultists and misses too
The cultists effected by the death of the other cultist all pass their resolve checks
Turn 3 Lurkers
The leader gets nominated and nominates Shotgun bob who uses his 2 actions to return to normal state , a guy with a club that uses his actions to charge at ruthers and the cultist with the bolt action rifle who shoots at the Agents but misses
He then proceeds to shoot at the agents but misses too
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/08.jpg)
the cultist that attacked manages to hit Ruthers but is not capable of wounding him !
Turn 3 Threshold
As usual Sullivan nominates the others and then uses his second action to charge at Squiddy the cultist who still is face down in a puddle of his own blood
as a result he gets killed and removed from the table
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/12.jpg)
This leads to The cultist with the club messing up his Resolve with a 1 cowering on the ground in a state of catatonia and Shotgun bob starting to run away !
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/09.jpg)
Ruthers then Charges the poor cultist and kills him off and proceeds to shoot att he cult leader but misses
Also Agent Rogers shoots but she misses two times
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/10.jpg)
Turn 4 Lurkers
The Cult Leader nominates the two cultists that are left
Shotgun Bob stops running away and returns to battle and the cultist with the bolt action rifle takes aim at agent Rogers and shoots but she manages to take cover two times
Shotgun bob shoots at agent Sullivan and misses but uses his second action to shoot and wound him….resulting in agend sullivan getting removed with a minor injury
Also the cult leader shoots at agent
Rogers but misses her
Both agents pass their resolve checks
Turn 4 Threshold
without their leader the command skill is gone and this only one model could be nominated
Agent Ruthers fires his shotgun at the cult leader two times but manages to miss both times
Turn 5 Lurkers
With Agent sullivan removed from battle the cultists start a new attack The Cult leader gets nominated and nominates the others he uses his second action to shoot at agent Rogers wounding her and removing her from play
The Cultist with the bolt action rifle shoots at agend Ruthers but misses one time and he passes his cover save a second time
Meanwhile Shotgun bob shoots at Ruthers but thanks to his heavy bulletproof vest ruthers isnt effected at all
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/11.jpg)
this leaves Ruthers to be the last man standing but he manages to pass this resolve check as well
Turn 5 Threshold
Agent ruthers uses his two actions to get some cover behind the corner of the House
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/13.jpg)
Turn 6 Lurkers
Things are not looking good for Ruthers as the Cultists start to follow him to finish him off
Turn 6 Threshold
Agent Ruthers Moves back a bit and uses his second action to shoot at Shotgun bob but misses
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/14.jpg)
Turn 7 Lurkers
The Lurkers move into better positions to attack and shoot at agent ruthers but do not manage to wound him even once
Turn 7 Threshold
The Lurkers realize too late that attacking a hardened police officer was a big mistake
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/15.jpg)
Agent Ruthers shoots and kills Bob removing him from the table, leading to The cultist with the Bolt action rifle fading and the cult leader cowering on the floor in fear
Turn 8 Lurkers
The Cult leader gets nominated and uses his action to get up and move to a better position on the board
Turn 8 Threshold
Agent Ruthers Charges the Cultist with the gun killing him
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/16.jpg)
being the last one alive freaks out the Cult leader so much that he decites to run away in fear
The next 2 rounds were pretty boring….chasing…shooting etc
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/17.jpg)
in the end ruthers shot down the cult leader and charged him removing him from the game
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/18.jpg)
allthough only one threshold agent remained standing in the end i consider this one a big win because nobody got any major injuries and all agents will fully recover
-
Great looking table and blow-by-blow AAR. :-*
-
Great report!
-
Thanks
-
Excellent! Thanks for the report. That Agent Ruthers is one tough S.O.B.
-
hes about to get tougher... as i will use the skill he gained to give him thick skin :D
-

Very appropriate.
He certainly is one tough, bad mothe.....policeman.

Really enjoyed reading the AAR (finally found the time to sit down and do so...).
It is great how you managed to record it all and it shows how a game of SA can swing to and fro from one turn to the next.
Lovely eye-candy too and really good to see some of those cultists painted up and in action.
:-* :-*
;)

Also im working on a small piece of scenery
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/statue.jpg)
i bought this liddle buddha statue on ebay and recited to use it as a piece of terrain …maybe as a mission objective to summon something …in strange aeons
so i addet a squid…ish head with 3 eyes and the wings of some Heroclixx miniature
i guess its gonna get peinted either as a brass statue or just a stone one....i tend to brass because i already have a stone cthulhu statue :D
-
That ugly bugger shows a lot of promise, mate.

Very nice AAR, looked and sounded like a great game, I particularly like your boarded
up building, nice touch.
Nice idea with the converted statue too, that's going to look epic

I am really liking your colour palette for these gribblies.
It is becoming your trademark.
-
thanks....
i really like when the models on a table fit together ..... thus the colors
im glad that it seems to work
-
Nice job...always wanted that figure myself. Love the spiky/sinewy parts. As a side note; this will make a great God Spawn for second edition... ;)

Yesterday evening i decited to build myself a Mad Scientist for a game i played today !
I wrote an AAR and will publish it here as soon as i find the time to read over my notes and look through the picturtes i took..... The scientist did well..modyfied two zombies via serum....allthough he then killed one of his own zombies with his serum ..... i guss the specimen was just not fresh enough ;) :D....in the end he got shot down by unstoppable agent ruthers ;D
BUT as he was removed with a minor injury i decited that he will return for REVENGE !! :-[
so here is my mad scientist and his Undead minions
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/mad-scientist.jpg)
the base for this miniature was a Dreamblade figure called Doctor Agony. I had to cut of a bit of his legs and lab coat….also i shortened the arms and removed the head. i then replaced the hands with one holding a knife and one holding one of herbert Wests Serum syringes….i also replaced the head with a mantic ghoul head
-
heres a before / after conversion picture
just to let you see all the changes i have done
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/mad-scientist-before-and-after.jpg)
i was impressed how good it worked to scale the model down just by replacing the head / hands and shortening the torso....
good thing hes wearing that lab coat :D

another "Fight" scenario was rolled
This time the Threshold player won the roll to place first and start the game
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a01.jpg)
Turn 1 Threshold
Sullivan gets nominated and nominates the others
all the agents move past the cars into a better position to gun down the attacking zombies
Turn 1 Lurkers
The Mad Scientists injects the Zombie in the middle with his Serum and rolls a 5 giving it an adrenaline Boost thus boosting its movement to 6 ....the zombie , who suddenly motated into one of those fancy modern running zombies, uses this to moove and then charge agent Rogers....being already alert she shoots at it...misses...but passes her resolve check , that she had to make because the zombie is hideous...a fight ensues and the Zombie nanages to knock Agent Rogers out
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a02.jpg)
Agent Ruthers shoots the Zombies , but misses
also Agent Sullivan doesnt manage to hit him
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a03.jpg)
The other Zombies Decite to joint the attack and beging to stumble into the direction the the Agents
Turn 2 Threshold
Agent sullivan gets nominated as usual and nominates the others.....also he moves into a better position .
Before the zombie can kill agent Rogers , Agent Ruthers rushes in to attack the Zombie ....and fails his resolve check....
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a04.jpg)
but being the tough son of a bitch he is doesnt run away, or cower in fear..... he Frenzys
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a05.jpg)
....and beats the Zombie into a bloody pulp ( beating his attack roll by 11 :D )
meanwhile Agent Rogers uses this time ( her 2 actions) to get up
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a06.jpg)
Turn 2 Lurkers
The Mad scientists nominates teh zombies and orders back the zombie closest to him to inject him with the serum....
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a08.jpg)
he rolls a 5 , thus creating a running zombie again
the remaining zombie attacks agent Sullivan
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a07.jpg)
and the combat ends in a draw , and has to be resumed the next round
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a09.jpg)
Turn 3 Threshold
Because the combat was a Draw agent Sullivan is not able to nominate anybody as hes currently occupied fighting the Zombie
and again the fight ends in a draw...two times ....man that was a short round !! :D
Turn 3 Lurkers
The Scientist nominates the Zombies and then...... gets greedy and injects his Zombie a second time...........killing him
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/tumblr_lpd69uhyvq1qagjcno1_250.jpg)
The other zombie still fights agent Sullivan and Sully wounds him......but the zombie simply is too tough so that the 2 reduction on the injury table negate the result
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a10.jpg)
Turn 4 Threshold
Agent Sullivan nominates the others and attacks the zombie but still does not manage to kill it
Agent Ruthers moves forward and shoots at the scientist but misses
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a11.jpg)
but Agent Rogers manages to move and then shoot at the scientist removing him from play with a minor injury
as the Scientist flees hes swearing revenge
Turn 4 .....Zombie
The Zombie Charges Agens Sullivan....wins the combat and removes him with a minor injury
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a12.jpg)
As agent Sullivan got removed from the table the other agents have to take a resolve test... Agent Rogers messes up her resolve....and....frenzys.....charging the zombie...but her wild flailing at the zombie just does not seem to wiork
oh and agent Ruthers passes his resolve check
Turn 5 Threshold
Agent Ruthers gets nominated and charges the Zombie
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a13.jpg)
together the agents manage to defeat the other remaining zombie
the threshold agents won a second time
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/a15.jpg)

come on guys...some feedback would be cool ;) :D
-
Since you asked so nicely :D ;)
Nice conversion on the mad scientist.
Nice paint jobs all around.
An action packed scenario - looks like it was fun.
Read through rest of the thread - nice stuff
Cheers
-
Love the job you did on the mad scientist model...I passed that one over as it was 'out of scale'. You seem to have fixed that rather well with a bit of snipping.
-
Great stuff! Tough bugger's those zombies! Really nice looking board and minis!
-
heres a before / after conversion picture
just to let you see all the changes i have done
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/mad-scientist-before-and-after.jpg)
i was impressed how good it worked to scale the model down just by replacing the head / hands and shortening the torso....
good thing hes wearing that lab coat :D
Wow, that is VERY impressive. You took something that was utter crap and made it into an amazing work of conversion. Hat tip to you...been silently reading your posts and enjoying them. Remember, if nobody says nothing it isn't bad we're enjoying it!
-
hahahaha thanks guys... i wouldnt have guessed to get responses that fast :D
its not that im needy ..... its just that some comments from time to time keep one motivated :D
-
Great report, mate.
8)
You are making me want to get back to playing as soon as possible.
Now things have settled down a little in my neck of the woods, we should start a new campaign pretty soon as we have three victims volunteers to run teams so far.
;)
And the other fellas are right, until I saw that comparison pic I did note realise the changes that you had made with that conversion.
Top drawer!
:-*
-
i finished the Statue and nother hybrid
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/statue-and-hybrid1.jpg)
-
Nice work, mate.
:-*
It is nice that you will have a completely original collection with all your conversions and sculpts.
8)
-
The statue turned out very well, I like your weathering technique, very realistic
Regards
Jim
-
Looove that statue. :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Thanks a lot guys....
i was bored so i buildt another hybrid
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/hybrid.jpg)
the arms are GW arms…i think one is from a barbarian one from a goblin ( i will most likely paint them brown or white )
and the head is a Mantic zombie head
-
Disturbing eye mutation, very well done
He will be cracking once painted as per usual
Regards
Jim
-
thanks..... i already painted him....well 90%...i will finish him tomorrow i guess :D
so stay tuned for updates....
the eye looks way better than i imagined
also i rebased my zombie dog to fit in with the oter zombies i did
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/zombie-dog.jpg)
-
This is one of my favourites from your collection.
It is like a really vicious version of a 'Pushmepullyou'.
8) 8)
-
aaand hes finished
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/hybrid2.jpg)
-
Very nice, but the eye definitely is a high point, in a disturbing sort of 'low point' way,
If you see what I mean ;)
Regards
Jim
-

I do.
You have managed to say what I was trying to...
:D
I was not too sure before the paint went on, but it sure looks good now.
8)
-
He's got the Innsmouth look for sure. Love that eye...
-
i finished some more terrain
i mostly buildt these huts to see if it would be easy to build huts from those wooden coffee stirring thingys
and boy was it easy
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/houses.jpg)
i simply cut out the basic shapes of the hut from an old shoe carton , pinned them together with needles, then glued them together....and afterwards glued the wooden planks all over it
afterwards i painted it by drybrushing it with various brown tones
i think i will definetly do some more....enough that i can build me some small town for a strange aeons game
i will definetly do an outhouse and a shed or barn
-
They look effective for such a quick job.
8)
I would be tempted to give them a grey drybrush to show some aging, though, as I assume they are not representing new structures.
;)

i intend to put on some kind of wash.....to have them look mouldy....but i still have to test how it may look :D

“As it is, he merely hinted at the shocking morbidity of these great floundering white things, with dark fur on their backs, a rudimentary horn in the centre of their foreheads, and an unmistakable trace of human or anthropoid blood in their flat-nosed, bulging-lipped faces.“
“The chief ground for such a supposition was the well-known fact that the vanished inhabitants of Yoth had been quadrupedal.”
H.P. Lovecraft & Zealia Bishop, The Mound
-
Creepy!
:o
-
yeah its pretty creepy......
the original model is a dreamblade model called Aviax Cowboy
also i bought a few more dreamblade boosters for 1€ a pop on ebay….and even though a lot of the minis are crap
a few of them will make great addition to my Strange Aeons collection
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/dreamblade-zombies.jpg)
The first one will be used when a zombie mutates due to the serum....and the second one is just a pulp looking zombie :D
it was pretty easy to have them look fitting for my games with just a few modifications
-
Those look much better after the updates. Nice finds!
-
they look even better now ! :D
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/zombie-general-and-zombie-mutant.jpg)
and they were fun to paint....
edit: its funny that i just now realized i buildt a Tyrant from the resident evil series without realizing :D
(http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/194/e/e/tyrant_of_resident_evil_by_wizyakuza-d5725lm.jpg)
-
also another zombie
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/limping-zombie.jpg)
-
Poor zombie! He was on the wrong place on the wrong time haha. Love the painting, you're very good.
-
Nice repurposing KZ, as usual
Regards
Jim
-
Love that zombie, it did make me chuckle.
:-* lol :-*
The big bugger is great too.
8)
-
Cool zombie...was he from the GW Plague Cart (or whatever crazy name that kit has...)? Also, can't wait to see that Tyrant. Another brilliant conversion!
-
uhm you can...i was pointing out how similar my zombie mutant looks to a tyrant :D
-
heres another Dreamblade repaint
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/heart-render-repaint.jpg)
i think it works great as some Lovecraftian version of a Werewolf
Edit: and yeah that Zombie is from the Corspe Cart spure
-
Agents Scox Fulder and Agent Scana Dully
wich you may know from a great 90s Mystery series ;)
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/sculder-and-mully.jpg)

i entered a speedpainting competition and i am well happy with what i did in under 30 minutes
-
:o :o :o
Bloody hell!
Less than 30mins!
I spend that long looking at a miniature , just thinking about painting it....before I even pick a brush up.
::)
Great result!

Huge Deep One Hybrid / Dreamblade Skittering Smeech Repaint / Conversion
so i redesigned and repainted another Dreamblade mini called a Skittering smeech
i removed the tail , the head and addet some clothes ( basically to one-up my greenstuff skills) and a head
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/huge-deep-one-hybrid.jpg)
I got the idea to build this mini by watching Dagon and remembering that the Dreamblade figure has a cape made of human skin
i think this fits in well with the overall creepyness of lovecrafts works
-
I did another Dreamblade repaint
well i did four
(http://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/tattooed-squashbug-repaint.jpg)
creepy liddle fu**s
Your Starfish guy needs a light color and Bermuda shorts.
(http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100724183918/spongebob/images/3/33/Patrick_Star.svg)
-
hahahah i might actually do a guy like this :D
-
I like the BIG fella, mate.
The open-backed shirt is a nice touch.
8)
-
I really like what you are doing here and the smeech is really disturbing... that's good.
-
Thanks
i finished building some more terrain pieces
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/crates-and-barrels.jpg)
-
That is just what you need.
'Street clutter' really brings a board to life.
8)
-
yeah.....stuff like this really ties the table together
-
Im currently painting 5 Deep one hybrids manufactured
and as i did not have my propper camera handy i took two rather shitty pictures with my phone to let you 8 and Mason exspecially) see how well they look
they are still in pip state so do not consider them finished....
but i must say they look AWSUM !!
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/img_0369.jpg)(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/img_0370.jpg)
Mason....Good work man..... im really happy with the way they look.....i xspecially love the guy with the bigger gun ( not pictured yet)..... blind nick was it ?
with his hunched over posture he shurely looks like the creatures described in Shadow over innsmouth
Also .. allthough they may be scullpted a bit rougher i would say it benefits the otherworldly look of the minis :D
Cheers mate
-
Love 'em so far, mate.
Looking forward to seeing them all finished.
:-* :-*
(I had a feeling that you may be the first person to finish them ;))
-
soooo i got my camera back......left it at my girls place.....so heres a picture of my newest finished stuff
some random goon and a Zombie
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/goon-and-zombie.jpg)
the Zombie is one of the old Heroquest zombies ( a model i wanted to paint FOR YEARS !)
and the goon is a Starwars miniature. it was lando Calrissian before i chopped off his head and replaced it with the head of a dreamblade miniature also i cut of the front of his blaster and addet a barrel to have him wield a gun
i mostly did the conversion because i bought the mini for under 1 € …i think 50 cents or so and wanted to see if the starwars mioniatures are high quality enough to do conversions
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/lando.jpg)
heres a “before” picture of the miniature
-
also i painted one of the old Deep Ones sculpted by John Dennett from the Grenadier ‘Creatures’ box set
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/rafm-deep-one.jpg)
but i think im gonna play it either as a hybrid or as a normal cultist that will get hideous for plus something points
-
so i found this on ebay for about 2€
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/ng-ok-before.jpg)
and i thought to myself ” that could make a great addition to my lovecraftian Minis
So i cut off the thing on the top…..removed a LOT of mould lines and fixed it up with some greenstuff
then i painted it….
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/ng-ok-repaint.jpg)
and IT FITS IN BRILLIANTLY ! The new paintjob brings out the overall slimy and creepy look great….and the tentacle feet things look like they would work much better underwater
-
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/masons-deep-one-hybrids.jpg)
I finished 4 of Masons deep one hybrids
-
Love 'em!
:-* :-*
I particularly like the use of yellow.
Exactly what I was thinking with Blind Dick.
8)
-
Deep ones and slickers are obvious corollaries! o_o :-* o_o

Yeah the Yellow works awsum.....
you should do another set with hybrids that have hidden faces :D
-
Wonder work! Mason's minis look good on those bases of your too :)
Can ask how you achieve that lovely deep slimy red in the recesses of the Deep One? It's such a great effect!
-
Klener Zorn,
Sorry for the colloquial English but you interpreted my meaning correctly :D

-

Can ask how you achieve that lovely deep slimy red in the recesses of the Deep One? It's such a great effect!
the only red i used is Citadel layer - evil sunz scarlet
i applyed about 1-3 very watered down washes to the areas.... the slimy effect comes from Army painter Quickshader without using anti shine varnish in the end

Agent Ashley James Williams
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/ash.jpg)
i painted this wonderfull miniature by hasslefree
as you can see its Ash from the Evil dead series….and i plan on using him as a Strange Aeons investigator….allthough i have to come up with some rules of my own as i think Chainsaws didint exist in 1920 :D
-
I don't have my books but I think there are expanded rules for chainsaws.

(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/29.jpg)
At the end i had to do the major injury rolls for the fallen agents…..nobody died BUT agent Rogers is now disfigured wich ma prompt me to use another model for her….i think i have some leper miniature somewhere that i can modify to be used as agent rogers in the future….all in all i assume her being “hideous” now, may proove usefull in future games
and as for agent sullivan….now he suffers from a case of Agoraphobia
-
Agent Rogers before & after
so after one of my agents got shreddet to bits by a Yakubian on his last mission , and gained a new ability from the Major injury table, i thought “hideous” doesnt describe the miniature i used very well…..so i modifyed and painted a new mini to be Agent rogers 2.0
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/agent-rogers2.jpg)
the original model was some kind of 25mm scale leper…..
i have no idea where the mini was from….but i addet some glasses and i think it works great
-
Great stuff, and Velma certainly looks Hideous now!
:-* :-*
A great idea that has worked really well.

What stats did you use for the Yakubians?
Was it the Zombie statline?

thanks and
yeah statwise they were zombies

i had the idea to give them the ability to burrow themselves but i didnt figure out how this would work in-game
so they just used the zombie rules...... slow moving tough enemys seemed right for maggot like insect things

Sooooooo….i played the shortest Strange Aeons Adventure possible….and that just because the Investigators rolled sixes……in any roll but one !
anybody got an idea how high the chances are that this happens ?
Character : Derek Sullivan – 6 BP
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/derek-sullivan.jpg)
M Dex. Con. A W Res. Skills
5 4+ 6/6 3 2 3+ Lucky Hat , Command ,Shurefooted,tight boots, Agoraphobia
Weapons: 45. , Knife
Agent : William H. Ruters – Now 8 BP
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/ruthers.jpg)
M Dex. Con. A W Res. Skills
5/3 5+ 7/9 2 1 3+ Tough , Thick Skin , +1 Con. , -1 Res (NEW)
Weapons: 45. , Knife , Shotgun, heavy West
Agent : Velma Rogers – 4 BP
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/9.jpg)
M Dex. Con. A W Res. Skills
5/5 5+ 6/6 2 1 4+ Read languages , Scholar (New)
Weapons: 45. , Knife ,holy book,Hideous
If you wonder why her look changed read my last gaming report
The Lurkers consisted of
Lurker : Flying Horror 18 BP
Weapons: None
Skills : Sprint ,Heroic
The Mission was a Monster Hunt and the Lurker player won the roll to begin the game
The setup was as following
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/1.jpg)
The Lurker started at one side of the house
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/2.jpg)
and the characters at the other
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/3.jpg)
and it all looked so well for the lurker player…..the plan was to fly in grab one of the players, survive close combat ,( wich should have been a piece of cake) and drag him away
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/4.jpg)
Turn 1 Lurker
The Flying horror used his first action to get over to the cars
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/5.jpg)
and his second to charge agent Sullivan ( all Agents pass their resolve check)
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/6.jpg)
as the other characters are NOT in base contact only Agent Sullivan ( whom i will call Sully the Slayer from now on) is allowed to attack
so the Lurker and agent sullivan roll their attacks……both have 3 dices to roll……the lurker rolls something like a 4 a 3 and another 4…and Sully rolls two sixes and a 5
So he won the close combat
He then proceeds to wound the lurker….wich should have been hard….again 2 sixes !
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/tumblr_lpd69uhyvq1qagjcno1_250.jpg)
So we rolled on the Injury Table…. TWO FRIGGIN SIXES AGAIN !!!!!!!!
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/7.jpg)
So the lurker was dead !
WOW that was a short game !!!

i finihed my leng Spider
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=54837.60
-
finished another polyp
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/polyp-2.jpg)
i created this one from a misscast....i switched it upside down and addet some tentacles made of greenstuff :D
im happy with the result
allthough i guess it would look much better if painted by someone who has a bit more skill then i do :D
-
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/leng-spider-1.jpg)
i finished my Leng Spider
now i have to come up with rules for it
i thought about something like
Spider of Leng
M - Dex. - Con - A - W - Res - Skills
8 - 4+ - 6 - D2 - 3 - 4+ - Poison ,Swallow whole , Sneaky
i just dont know what points it should cost..... something between 20 and 30
-
Nice ideas.
8)
I am sure that someone from UMW will be along shortly to advise you on Leng monstrosities.
:D
-
Disclaimer: this still needs testing!
Leng Spider - 13BP
M Dex. Con. A W Res. Skills
5 4+ 5/7 2 3 3+ Parry, Command*
Weapons: Venomous Bite (C.C.B.+2, Dam. D+2, Poison)
Special: Beast, Hideous
Egg Layer: As an Action, a Leng Spider may lay an egg. Place a marker anywhere in base-to-base with the Spider and roll D3+1 to determine how many Turns the egg will incubate before hatching. At the beginning of the hatching Turn, after Close Combats are fought but prior to ‘nominations’, replace the hatched egg with D3 Swarms. The egg, which has CON 5 and 2 Wounds, may be destroyed prior to hatching. Shots taken at models in base-to-base with an egg (or vice-versa) must be randomized between model(s) and egg(s). Pre-laid eggs may be purchased prior to the beginning of the game at a cost of 2BP per egg. These eggs are placed within 6” of the Leng Spider at the end of the controlling player’s deployment.
Spider Tide: Individual swarms of spiders are weak, but can become unstoppable in large groups. If at any time 8 Swarms are in base-to-base with one another, they may immediately form a Mob.
*Brood Mother: A Leng Spider has the Command skill, but may only command Swarms that have hatched from Leng Spider eggs.
Cocoon: When a Leng Spider has won a round of close combat, it may elect to cocoon its opponent instead of rolling ‘to wound’. Cocooned models are immobilized, and may not use Command (or Lieutenant) or cast spells while trapped. If engaged in close combat, a cocooned model fights back at a -1 penalty to both C.C.B. and Attacks. Should the cocooned model win the fight, it breaks free of the cocoon, but does not roll ‘to wound’ against its opponent. The cocoon may also be destroyed, either by the trapped model or another friendly model. It has a Constitution of 6 and 1 Wound. Models in base-to-base may carefully extract the victim from the cocoon, but such finesse is impossible with ranged weapons. Any excess Wounds dealt to a cocoon by a ranged attack are inflicted on the trapped model.
-
Great!
My own Leng Spider may finally see proper action soon.

-
SIR THIS IS GREAT !! now i just need to come up with a way to create some eggs for the spider :D
BUT ! its a great opportunity to create some new miniatures ( or in this case eggs) to cast:D
only problem is i have no rules for swarms now...i guess they are in one of the shocking tales books ?

so here it is

just posting to tell you that i finally got my hands on a Bag of Cthulhu so i got a shi...load of cthulhu statues now....expect updates on terrain :D

im planning to playtest them in one of my next games.....
i buildt this "egg-sack" marker to cast and use in the games

now i just need some spider swarms.....
anyone got an idea where i can get some cheap swarms ? reaper maybe ?
-
Looks like Reaper has you covered! http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/spider/latest/77128
And love that take on the Eldritch Demon - the red washes on the head are a great touch. It's a fun model to paint, but does seem a little off-scale next to a humans. Perfect for a 15mm Godling though! And you may also find a new Lurker profile in 2nd Edition that suits it pretty well ;)
-
great
oh and I painted another Reaper Bones Miniature
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/cthulhu-priest.jpg)
the numbre of my deep ones and hybrids keeps growing and growing
-
Nice work!

i recently bought a bag of Cthulhu
and this is the first terrain piece im working on
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/cthulhu-crypt-wip.jpg)

Sitting Liddle Cthulhu
as mentioned in an earlyer post i picked up a Bag of Cthulhu from Fantasy Flight Games
there are a LOT of figures in the box (24 smaller and 6 larger figures)
so i painted one to use as a Scrawny one in a game of Strange Aeons
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/sitting-lil-cthulhu.jpg)
it looks pretty great, and im impressed with the amount of detail on the figures….. a shame really that most of them will end up as Terrain
-
That has come out really well.
You certainly managed to pick out all the detail on that ugly fella!
:-* :-*
Scrawny One, eh....good idea.
:D

thanks

i finished the Crypt
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/cthulhu-crypt.jpg)
considering its just a few pieces of Styrodur clued together its a great way to create terrain that looks great without spending a lot of money
-
Brilliant, mate.
That has come out really well.

I love threads like this - you know, the ones that you never get around to looking at, then go through the whole 15 pages at once and think 'wow!'
May I congratulate you on some brilliant work - bravo sir!
-
thank you very much...its comments like this that keeps one motivated :)
-
Fantastic! This is a great scratch build. :)
-
Looking great! I'm really crap at scratch building, so I'm quite envious of your skills. Keep up the good work.

Looking great! I'm really crap at scratch building, so I'm quite envious of your skills. Keep up the good work.
first of all thanks.....
i never get why people think you have to have much talent to do scratchbuilds like this
see the thing is....im crap too :D
i basically did what anyone can do.... i cut out the parts...( using one of the statues bases to see how "thick" i want them) glued them together and then used a pen to scratch in the "stones"
and i addet an entry plus door to the front....
its all pretty easy....
the colors are about 5 drybrush coats of black to grey
and i used ONE crappy brush from a dollar store to paint it
its not as hard as you think.... just try it out......there are a few things where shoddy work doesnt ruin the look....terrain is one of them
you can easily mask errors by adding stones/bushes etc to the base of the terrain piece
:)
-
I've tried too many times without success. Last attempt was a standing stone that ended up looking like an upright turd...it really was that bad.
-
there are a bunch of very usefull tutorials on youtube etc...
basically the main point is to drybrush the Terrain with different shades of the color of your choice and not to use too much paint :D
or maybe your colors are too thick.....and thus they dont work :D
oh and i have made a lot of crappy terrain myself.....i just dont post it :D ;)
-
Nope, even without paint it looked like a gigantic turd...I'm hopeless.
-
hehe ok if you say so.....The thing about building terrain is that you just need to keep building....i buildt a lot of shite over the years...i just didnt take pictures :D
IN OTHER NEWS
Today i picked up the newest addition to my Deep Ones
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/shredd-blodgill-wereshark.jpg)
its a reaper miniature called ” Shredd Blodgill Wereshark”
and as soon as i saw it i had to buy it to add to my ever growing population of Innsmouthfolk
i cant wait to paint
-
Great looking mini...Reaper makes some nice looking Deep Ones.
-
hehe ok if you say so.....The thing about building terrain is that you just need to keep building....
Ain't that the truth!??!
-
Ain't that the truth!??!
it shure is
I picked up a Reaper Bones Mini called ” Mortar the Gargoyle”
and thought it will make a great Nightghaunt ( as i dont like any of the models Available)
also the Reaper Bones Minis are great choices for converting!
So i removed the face, addet some horns from an old Khorne Champions head and addet a tail
It came together in a great way
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/night-ghaunt-wip.jpg)
-
That works for me, mate.

I may well nick that idea as I have not found a NG that I like or that looks like it wont break whilst in use.
Cracking idea.
:D

:D
yeah the "breaking" thing is a factor with the current models too
also i always imagined Nightghaunts to be muscle....ly enough to hold onto a human while also being thin...like athletes
and the small waist on the mini shows that :D
also its about 3,50€ so it should cost you two bucks or so :D
-
Looks great, one of the best looking Night Gaunts so far in my opinion!
I'm thinking of buying the ones from Avolakcastings (I like this one the most) or Fenris:
Avolakcastings:

Fenris:

-
The Avolak castings versions are my favourites by a long shot, the only problem being is they look so fragile.

i never really liked models that look that animated.....its the same way i hate it when people but muzzle flashes on firing guns ! it works well for dioramas but does nothing for me when playing the game
i thing one could call it a pet peeve of mine
well whatever... i finished the nightghaunt !
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/nightghaunt.jpg)
“But Carter preferred to look at them than at his captors, which were indeed shocking and uncouth black things with smooth, oily, whale-like surfaces, unpleasant horns that curved inward toward each other, bat wings whose beating made no sound, ugly prehensile paws, and barbed tails that lashed needlessly and disquietingly. And worst of all, they never spoke or laughed, and never smiled because they had no faces at all to smile with, but only a suggestive blankness where a face ought to be. All they ever did was clutch and fly and tickle; that was the way of night-gaunts.”
H.P. Lovecraft, Dream-Quest Of Unknown Kadath
This was a fun miniature to convert and paint
all in all it did not take much work and i am hugely impressed by the overall look. it may be a bit bigger then most people think nightghaunts to be , but i allways imagined it big enough to lift a human or a moonbeast off the ground, and having enough muscle to actually hold them, and lovecraft never comented on the size of a nightghaunt as far as i know :D
also here is a progression picture
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/nightghaunt-progression.jpg)
-
I think it looks great, mate.
:-*
Certainly stealing that idea when I get back into making some more Lurkers.
:D
-
That's a brilliant idea and a lovely execution. :D
-
thanks
-
That looks great! I'm really loving the Bones line for conversions, the plastic is easy to work with and they're so cheap you're more comfortable hacking them up, covering them in putty or whatever else seems needed!
-
Yep, looking great with and without paint.
-
Add me to the list of folks using this idea. Great job, and thanks.
-
Man, that is a great, simple nightguant conversion. I'd been wondering how to pull one off, and here you did it!
-
thanks a ton guys !!!
so i finally started working on my Cthulhu conversion
sadly i discovered that the head is so soft i cant paint it with army painter quickshader ( because it wont harden and will stay sticky ! i tested it on a tentacle) ….thus the mini wont look similar to the rest of my deep ones !
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/reaper-bones-cthulhu-conversion.jpg)
i really did not like the flimsy original wings that come with the model so i went to a Yardsale yesterday and bought some shitty toy dragon who i relieved of its wings
also i addet a few more eyes , fixed the gap between the body and the tail , and addet and will add a few more tentacles to the sides
i really dont get why i have not seen any conversions of this mini before, the material is great to work with
in the end i think it will make a great Godling for any strage aeons game to come !
-
i finished a new team of ” Threshold Agents”
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/sailors.jpg)
now i have some Models that can fight off my hordes of Innsmouthfolk :D
-
Sailors.
Very appropriate.

I finished some pentacles to use in Strange Aeons
Trapped inside a powerful magic pentacle, the Scrawny One needs a blood sacrifice
to enter our world
As he extended the bloody knife toward
the pentacle there was a flicker of the scrawny shape, and that
part of the blade which protruded beyond the rim was licked clean of blood.
“The Scrawny One, by Anthony Boucher”
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/scrawny-ones-and-pentacles.jpg)
The Miniatures are originally two small Cthulhu statues from fantasy flight games Bag of Cthulhu as i pointed out earlyer :D
but painting the first one worked so well that i decited i could use a second mini if i decite to use two scrawny ones :D
-
Lady baxterville , Henchman & Dogs
Mason over at lead-adventure did these two investigators for Strange Aeons
and as i was able to trade them for some of my selfmade minis i couldnt wate to paint em and show him ( because , i assume, he likes to see his models painted by someone else then himself, as much as i do)
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/lady-baxterville-and-posse.jpg)
so well yeah buddy….here they are
I Really like the Lady and the dogs also her henchman can be used as nearly any kind of model in strange aeons….i could use him as an agent or a cultist/gangster
wich suits me fine since i havend have a Threshold model , holding a Thommy Gun yet ,and allways wanted to use it.
-
I love 'em, mate.
Well brushed.
:-* :-*
because , i assume, he likes to see his models painted by someone else then himself, as much as i do)
I do, mate. I do....
Could I steal the pictures for future use?
:D
-
SHURE :D

(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/pic460984_md.jpg)
Before
So ….yeah…another Dreamblade conversion/repaint
i had to replace the head with one of the mantic Ghoul heads…..and he really looks batshit insane now
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/asylum-escapee.jpg)
after
i cant wait to use him in a game of Strange aeons…
I may go as far as writing my own scenario….The Threshold team has to escort this maniac fom one edge of the board to the other ,while the Lurkers try to free him
-
That is pretty freaking cool.
-
That is pretty freaking cool.
It sure is.
:D 8) :D
So is the scenario idea.

more terrain....../ mission objectives
first of all a Ramshackle Games promotional mini called Trixie
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/trixie-ramshackle.jpg)
it works well for the Strange Aeons mission where you have to free a captured agent or as a civillian that should be sacrificed
also heres a pile of Skulls i casted…..
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/pile-of-skull.jpg)
im not happy with the paintjob though…… i guess i will cast and paint up another one
-
Great use of Trixie...I have that model and will have to dig her our. She is great as a poor civilian who is about to get sacrificed.

yeah....i did the same.... i had this model in my bitzbox for years
-
i finished two more pieces of terrain
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/graves.jpg)
-
So i had this cheap red plastic octopus toy….
and i though……man throwing this in the garbage sucks…maybe i can make something out of it
and then this happened
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/octopus-statue.jpg)
i created another statue ......and it looks mighty fine imho
-
Yes, very nice. the bronze/patina color is excellent.
-
Cool!
-
Clever idea :)
-
Clever idea :)
Indeed.
The Breakdancing Octopus.
Scary!
:o :o
;)
-
Very nicley done, the patina looks awesome! You can't go wrong with an octopoid statue can you?
-
thanks a lot guys
i painted another D&D mini wich basically is a Shoggoth already
...its called a gibbering mouther
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/gibbering-mouther.jpg)
i dont know how to use it in strange aeons yet….but i guess ill find a way
-
Just use it as a formless thing if you're using the first edition rules, and from the KS campaign I believe it was said that there would actually be a Shoggoth Lurker profile in the second edition rules as it is such an iconic Lovecraftian creation. Looks pretty cool though, and thanks for sharing.
-
imo its way to small for a formless thing

It's just a baby. Or maybe it's in the process of squeezing through a portal and you're only seeing it's little toe or something.

i painted another one of Masons miniatures
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/tentacled-cultist-nun.jpg)
im really happy with how it looks
-
That's beautifully unsettling and excellent work on the fleshy parts.
I really like the ambiguity at the top; is it a cowl or a carapace? - let the viewer decide.
Great work.
-
I like her, mate.
Nicely done.
:-*
(I am ashamed to say that I have not painted any of my own Nuns yet.... ::)).
-
And what's more terrifying than an evil nun? An evil nun with tentacles! To be honest, it would be fantastic if all nuns in real life would have tentacle faces like that.
Nice paintjob by the way.
-
Thanks guys :D
I repainted another Dreamblade Mini
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/insectoid.jpg)Insectoid
its mindboggling how many good Miniatures there are considering how crappy the overall dreamblade miniatures look
Dreamblade the gift that keeps on giving

Another day …..another set of miniatures
MAN my Legions Innsmouthfolk are growing !
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/fishman-hybrids.jpg)
Five of them are Deep One Hybrids from Brigade Games and one ( the one raising his arms in the middle) is a Deep one Hybrid priest from Blind Beggar Miniatures
The Deep ones from Brigade games , in my opinion , are the best Hybrid miniatures available
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/hybrid-01.jpg)
i love the way the hunch on their backs are sculpted
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/hybrid02.jpg)
for the skin tone i decited to go with the blue…ish , grey…ish look i already used for my other deepone hybrids
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/hybrid03.jpg)
Masons Priest fits in with all the other Innsmouth hybrids very well…..allthough he looks a bit like Donkey Kong ;)
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/hybrid05.jpg)
Brigades Priest miniature is sculpted beautifully ! ….I love the cthulhu statue he is holding up…….also he is wearing a silly hat
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/hybrid04.jpg)
I had to paint this one wearing a yellow raincoat
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/hybnrid-06.jpg)
This is the last one for now…. i still have to paint 3 more though !!!
-
Definitely 5-star painting there, and some of the sculpts are exquisite.
I wouldn't like to look out of my hotel window and see that crowd gathering in the square! I'm looking forward to seeing some more.
-
thanks..... they actually look way better without the flash that my camera used :D
-
Nice work.

You must have quite a horde of Hybrids by now....and a large monkey to hang around with them. >:D
;)
-
Fantastic painting! Skin tones and colour are spot on.
-
Great looking fishy folks!

Nice!

Love those colour choices.
:-* :-*
-
Very nicely done and quite unearthly.
-
The pinks are a nice touch...
-
The pinks are a nice touch...
thanks.... all my Cthulhuesque miniatures have those pink...ish tentacles so i thought it makes sense to have him have these as well
-
Lovely conversion work and colour scheme! You've definitely injected some 'eldritch' into a fairly non-squamous sculpt. I really like the model, but it definitely looks more like a 'mundane' creature , so adding the eyes and tentacles has really lifted it. Love the pink/green contrast and the white eyes.
I think the highest praise I can give is that every time I see your ideas I want to steal them ;D

feel free to do so.... it allways makes me happy when someone copys one of my ideas :D
it shurely is a compliment :D
-
The difference between a well painted horror miniature, and a really creepy one, often is the use of a wider palette of colours, like you do with your 'fleshy' parts, instead of just painting them the same hues as the rest of the model.
Nice touch, I must remember to use that 'trick'! :)
-
Thanks :D
I painted a few more miniatures for strange Aeons….. lets start with my Coven of the tentacle
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/coven-of-the-tentacle.jpg)
the left and right miniature are Robed cultist nuns from Blind Beggar Miniatures sculpted by mason .I finished the left one a while back and simply rebased it to fit in with the other miniatures……
The Monstrosity in the Middle was part of the Mythos Foundry Kickstarter, wich i sadlycouldnt support ( for lack of a credit card ….Great idea Paypal/Kickstarter) Its by far one of the most beautifull Lovecraftian miniatures around , and i got my hands on it by contacting Mythos foundry on facebook. And they were so nice to sell me a spare one that got left after the kickstarter endet :D
-
Very nice, sir.
They do work really well together.
8) 8)
-
i finished the 3 remaining Deep one hybrids i bought from Brigadegames
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/hybrids.jpg)
i can only emphasize that those models are by far the best Hybrids around, they are sculpted beautifully……
-
Again, very nice stuff!
-
That limited palette of yours works extremely well with these degenerates.
Nice work.
8) 8)
-
Love the jumper on the right-hand guy! Excellent work.
-
i finished a cthulhu priest
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/cthulhu-priest-02.jpg)
-
That's quite handsomely done!
Who makes that priest, again? I know I've seen it before.
-
i think its one of the cultists from hasslefree
-

Who makes the hooded tentacle creature with the walking sticks? Would be a great mini to play the Moonchild from The Invisibles comic...

Found the best way to get dreamblade mini's off the bases is to pop them in hot water and then use a sharp knife. It makes the base material very pliable and it cuts very easily then.
Currently doing a few bits myself and stealing some amazing ideas from this thread :)

Sooooo.... i played a small game of Strange Aeons with my Girlfriend today
we decited to start at 20 points because i wanted to play my new Nighgaunt and use some of the new terrain i buildt
so she created a crew of 6 Threshold Guys
1 Character with a Tommy gun
2 Agents…one with a double barreled Shotgun
and 3 Civillians with Knives and 22.s
i played a Nightgaunt a Cult Leader/ Wizard and two zombies
We rolled “Fight” on the Missions/Scenario table and the Terrain was set up as following
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/unbenannt-1.jpg)
i started at the vr side and moved my Nightghaunt and my Zombie to the middle of the map behind the crypta so i couldnt be shot at
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/unbenannt-11.jpg)
On her first turn she proceedet to move her agents to the middle of the map
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/003.jpg)(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/004.jpg)
as she couldnt see me there was no way of shooting at me , and she decited to stay back so that she would have a clear line of fire when i attack
On my Next turn i moved the other Zombie and attacked with my nightgaunt wich was not hit by some reaction shots
The Nightgaunt landet in front of one Agent ant a Civillian but both passed their Resolve Checks
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/005.jpg)
In the following Close Combar the Nightgaunt won ( She rolled her 3 attacks 1,1 and 2 and i rolled mine 5 ,6 and 5)
the Agent was shreddet to bits and removed as a Major injury , wich prompted her whole squad to make a test on resolve…..
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/006.jpg)
… and her character and two civillians messed up resolve and ran away ( due to her not moving in enough all of them ran off into the night , not to be seen again this game)
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/007.jpg)
The agent that was left proceedet to fire her shotgun and miss
So on my next turn the zombies moved in on the Threshold agents
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/008.jpg)
the rest of the game consisten in me attacking the other agents
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/009.jpg)
and moving my zombies a bit further to her side of the board
in the end i anihilated the threshold Agents ( though only one had to roll on the Major Injury Table and has Hemaphobia now , wich seems fitting because he got shreddet by the Gaunt)
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/010.jpg)
in the end i must say the game could not have went better for the Lurkers….. the three Agents running away made this an easy win
-
Lovely terrain pieces and the game looks like a fun.

Great looking scenery and looks like it was a fun game. I should try to get my wife to play some SA games with me (although she's not at all into stuff like this).
-
it wasnt her first game of strange aeons :D dont worry :D
Then I hope that she is looking for revenge!
:D

Love the look of your table. Sorry for the girlfriend!
-
thanks everyone...and i hope you had a great new year party of sorts....
now back on toppic
my goal is to have enough painted minis to play any combination of threshold agents without having some carry the wrong weapons
and as i noticed i was kind of shirt on Agents sporting pistols i finished those two
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/2-investigators.jpg)
i painted two more investigators…i dont have any clue where the guy was manufactured ( igot it through the Bazaar here.....) ….but the woman is sold by Hasslefree
-
Nice work, sir.
A very sensible idea covering as many bases as possible.
:D
…i dont have any clue where the guy was manufactured ( igot it through the Bazaar here.....) ….
And there I was about to ask.
I could use him in my 1075 project as he looks like he would fit in nicely.

This is a reaper miniature from the “savage worlds” edition called Reverend Grimme
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/priest.jpg)
and i think it will make a great addition to my Threshold Agent team
-
Nice. Love that 'Thulhu as well. What a gross paint job!!! :-*
-
:o
You bloody genius, Chris!
You have just found me my Preacher for Upsheet Creek!
:D
Lovely work on his face.
Very expressive.
:-* :-*

Funny tough, Grimm is a pretty mental dude in the Deadlands setting where he is from. Leads a demonic cult of cannibals under the guise of a church of plenty. :D

I bought these off ebay for 1 € and thought that they would make some fitting creepy terrain pieces for Strange Aeons
so i painted and based them……. i have yet to use them though :D
-
looking weird enough to use in a SA game.
-
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/hp-lovecraft-mythos-foundry.jpg)
this is by far the best depiction of H.P Lovecraft in tabletop History…
i bought this off Mythos Foundry after one was left at the end of their Kickstarter
-
Excellent!
He is a lovely figure.

You really are a seriously productive chap, mate.
I think it must be time for a group shot of EVERYTHING in this thread soon, don't you?
;)
-
I love this figure. Is it still available?
-
[quote I bought this off Mythos Foundry after one was left at the end of their Kickstarter

This is great work! I wonder if the Lovecraft miniature is on sale as I can't find a shop for Mythos Foundry?
-
That HAS to be the second edition of HPL. I painted the first one....yikes...
-
That is a great likeness.
-
That is a perfect Lovecraft!
-
i dont know if its still available but i got it by contacting mythos fundry on facebook and asking if its still available...so he sold me a spare one he had.....
i got the tantacled cultist i posted a few pages back the same way
-

Shure...i might do that in time...though i think one picture will not cut it :D
-
so i got another car from ebay to use as terrain in Strange Aeons
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/werbung_adlerwerke_frankfurt_1907.png)
i dont know what the Car was called but it was manufactured by Adler in Germany in 1905 allthough its a german buildt , it looks kind of like i have imagined the bus in Shadow over innsmouth to have looked
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/car4.jpg)
The model itself was manufactured by the german company Ziss
Edit: hah i just realized that my Grandmother had a vintage Adler typewriter :D
-
Beautiful paint job on this! Wow, you are really moving!!!
-
Beautiful paint job on this! Wow, you are really moving!!!

yeah....i kinda call it therapy for my Adhd :D
Also coming from 40k in the past im pretty used to finishing a shitload of stuff ..... to be honest.....considering how many orks i did finish in the past years...working on all the Lovecraftian minis makes me feel having a slow output of miniatures :D
-
You have done a fine job on that motor, which is certainly a beautiful machine.
I am most impressed.
:-* :-*
-
Thanks
i just finished two more deep one miniatures
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/tiik-warrior-deep-ones-kopie.jpg)
this time its the Tiik Warriors from Reapers Bones Series
I coverted the vl Deep one a bit by removing the lower jaw and changing the angle of the arm… also i removed the Anglerfish thingy growing from its forehead….. But i kept the one on the visual right side as it was manufactured
I wanted to buy those minis for a long time now….but had to order them through a local Gaming store cause the postage to germany was way to expensive to have them shipped to germany fropm the states
exspecially considering that the miniatures themselve are so friggin cheap to buy
-
Looking very nice. Great paint work on those fishmen.
-
Love this car, awesome model, also the painting of the Deep One is very nice. Great to see that thread progressing.

(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/gug.jpg)
I finished another miniature , this time its a Gug , a creature living in the Dreamlands
“It was a paw, fully two feet and a half across, and equipped with formidable talons. After it came another paw, and after that a great black-furred arm to which both of the paws were attached by short forearms. Then two pink eyes shone, and the head of the awakened gug sentry, large as a barrel, wabbled into view. The eyes jutted two inches from each side, shaded by bony protuberances overgrown with coarse hairs. But the head was chiefly terrible because of the mouth. That mouth had great yellow fangs and ran from the top to the bottom of the head, opening vertically instead of horizontally.”
H.P. Lovecraft, Dream-Quest Of Unknown Kadath
I didnt change as much as i do usually because Pathfinder Battle`s Gug is one of the few prepainted miniatures that does NOT look like shit !
But i did change a few things . I Repainted the Eyes , Claws and did some work on the mouth.
Edit: I also created my own ules to use it in Strange Aeons
They have yet to be playtested though
Gug BP: 25
M Dex Con A W Res Skills
5 4+ 7 4 4 3+ Tough,Throw
Special : Daemon,Fear, Hideous
Weapons : Punch CCB + 2 , Dam + D2
Swallow whole
-
This is a good start. I think there were some prototype rules floating around the lair, will need to ask Scott and see if he can track them down. I think these are worth a playtest though. I also think I will need to get that figure. 8)
-
I think there were some prototype rules floating around the lair
It's in the 'Monsters of the Dreamlands' supplement from the Kickstarter campaign, and is actually pretty darned close. Mine has a point of armour, +1 damage, AP2 and a few extra abilities instead of Swallow Whole, but otherwise exactly the same. Seems we had the same sense of how large and powerful it should be.
Love the mouth on that guy. A most suitably horrifying shade of red.

hah....i have the rules....but havent thought of looking at them :D lol
So i created the stats based on what i thought what sounds reasonable :D im glad that the match up with yours :o
i actually thought about giving it armour but then i thought that , as it is thast big it should be pretty easy to attack it.
I will have a look at your special rules though....maybe ill test it with both rule sets :D
In other News
i finished a new Investigator
I got the guy via the BAzaar...sadly i forgot who manufactured it ...so if anyone knows please let me know
i think its called " Watson" but im really not shure
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/investigator.jpg)
anyhow...it makes for a great Strange Aeons Investigator

Looks like he is from the Foundry Old West range to me....??

I had no idea that Gug was so big! Perfect for 28mm in fact. Looking great as always :)

Klener, not sure if you've already thought the same but I just found this mini which only needs some googly greenstuff eyes to be a pretty accurate version of a dreamlands Ghast!

yeah......i think i already have one of those D&D things somewhere already to convert...... allthough i allways thought of Ghasts as a bit more humanoid

Scooby Snacks! Not Investigators!

Great stuff as always, love this Werewolf model. I feel the need to order some Dreamblade stuff in the near future...
2nd edition allows the Threshold player to utilize Silver Bullets and Wolfbane against this beast. On the down side there are now also Wolfmen (lesser Werewolves...) and the ever constant threat of contracting Lycanthropy. :o

Great stuff!

That Werewolf model is seriously freaky.
What a great choice.
Much more 'out there' than my 'standard' Bones version.

This just keeps getting better and better. I really liked SA 1st Edition, best game I played since Necromunda, but the 2nd edition is looking to be the game I've always wanted, combining my two lifetime favorite hobbies, Miniature Skirmish gaming and Lovecraftian Horror.
Even if fortunate enough to have decent skirmish rules, most of the type I've encountered have fallen down on the RPG aspect. And that there is a Solo mode just puts this right over the top. I am seriously going to start selling off all my non Mythos stuff as when this finally arrives I just don't see myself playing anything else anymore. And as an unexpected bonus, the few friends I've gotten into playing Zombicide (which I ultimately picked up because it also could be played solo and looked like a good gateway game for new players) have expressed interest in trying SA (which I've been prattling on about since the campaign.) So once again, to Mike, Scott and everyone involved with UMWW, thanks for all your wonderful efforts.
-
Thank you Sir. Nice of you to say! The Second Edition has been a real blast to play for me. We have added so much stuff that I always wanted to include. Just starting a new Threshold list and (time permitting...) may try and post a few reports in the coming days...
-
MAN did any of you guys had this happen to you ?
i just finished 3 6 great miniatures a bought at the bazaar.....and wanted to base them to post them here...and maybe later use them in a quick game
and i realized i have no more grassy stuff to add to the base...yet my local gaming store is closed by now...... thats kinda frustrating :D
well whatever....im gonna post them tomorrow :D
so you can expect 6 Street brawlers.....tomorrow....*sigh*

Nice work, mate.
So versatile too.
You can use these in so many games.

At least some of them are Brigade Games, but cannot be sure if all of them are:

i was planning on using them as TchoTcho but in my opinion they are too tall to use them
BUT ! no need to worry….now i have a perfectly nice set of 7 Inbred Mutant Savages
-
Those figures make better mutants than goblins, I really like what you did with them.
-
You have done a fine job on those, mate.
Looks like they went to a good home.

Yeah…its been a while i posted something.
But thats because i was working on this
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/11032059_297924396998335_1221909839762951052_o.jpg)
and other Postapocalyptic Larp stuff
well whatever….. i finally started working on some Miniatures again after i got some kind of Octopus toy on a flea market
i basically just cut off the plastic tentacles , and now can paint them and use them for the upcoming stange Aeons second edition
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/tentacles-from-toy.jpg)
The size perfectly fits the 28mm scale. Now i just have to paint them and build bases where they “grow ” out of the ground :D
the toy also had two bigger tentacles that i will use
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/long-tentacles.jpg)
also i bought some Gormiti toys for 50 Ct
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/gormiti-deepones.jpg)
they are kind of silly looking,but i think they can fir the “pulp” look of my ever growing army of Deep ones pretty effin well !
Cheers

I think that they will turn out great!

aaaaand finished !
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/gormiti-deep-ones-finished.jpg)
They look a bit silly, but overall fit in well with my pulp looking hordes of Innsmouth
they even look better when you have a Before/After paintjob compairsion

They look brilliant, mate.
Your painting style really suits these critters.
Top job!
:-* :-*
-
The beautiful thing with Eldritch stuff is that you can get away with stuff like this. I know you kept saying that they looked silly, but your paint jobs look great and they don't look that silly, they are kind of scary in the context of a game enviroment.

Brilliant! I bought a pile of Gormiti on ebay after seeing Mason's sea monster and most of them were absolute rubbish. Yours look suitably creepy :)

Ral Partha – RAFM – Dark Young of Shub Niggurath – W.I.P
I finally got my hands on one of the really old RAFM Dark Young of Shub Niggurath miniature
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/ral-partha-dark-young.jpg)
bigger picture here
https://kleinerzorn.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/ral-partha-rafm-dark-young-of-shub-niggurath/
the parts fit together horribly ( a thing i remembered from a few years back)
and most of the versions that people buildt didnt look that great to be honest. Most of the times the people leave the tentacles stuck together ( because it makes acting way more easy), allthough it just takes a knife to cut them apart and then you can bend them in any direction, thus making the miniature feel way more animated ! I seriusly dont get why people dont do this !
Also i used greenstuff to fix the huge strange looking gaps , that seperate the lower body part from the tenta…cly bits :)
I cant wait to find out how it looks painted
-
Your method of spreading out the tentacles truly looks much better than the swept-back look of the miniature as it comes out of the box. It finally looks like it could hide in a forest full of gnarled trees.
Isn't the Dark Young just by RAFM? Does RP have anythng to do with it? I have never seen it in their range.
-
i think it was released under ral partha back then
but as i dont know already.....i fixed it :)
-
Another glorious Dark Young model!
I do like what you have done with it.
Very nice.

Thanks
I (re)painted another D&D Miniature that makes a great small shoggoth or proto shoggoth, or any other kind of Lovecraftian slimy horror
(https://kleinerzorn.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/dungeons-and-dragons-yochlol-repaint.jpg)
its a pretty cheap miniture to buy , and i can only recommend it , as it makes a great addition to any horde of Lovecraftian Horrors !
