Title: Anzengruber twins, p.10 - Cults, Gods and Dark Powers (VUK) - UD 18/01
Post by: Prof.Witchheimer on December 07, 2014, 06:59:28 PM
After some months of gaming and painting break it’s finally time to set priorities. And one of these priorities is some Strange Aeons gaming, especially VUK (Von unaussprechlichen Kulten). Some LAFer fellows (Admiral Benbow, Westfalia Chris, Lt.Hazel and Skink) and me are going to build come cults and play a few  games with them next year. This thread is going to be kind of a blog of this small project, providing you all with some pics of our figs and hopefully also our gaming reports at some point.

The first (and perhaps most important) part of that project has been the choice of the gangs. Lt.Hazel (the speediest..) did grab the Dagonites (you know, everyone wants to play Dagonites and to worship the only true god), Skink got the Ghouls (not bad as well..), Admiral took Dunwich Folk ( always loved that Lovecraft’s story), Chris is still thinking and I had to make best of the rest and did decide to make my fortune with the Death Cult. Mad scientist, zombies, mummies, Ancient warriors, what else you need more?

Choosing figures was easy, at least for the first part. Some LAM mad scientists are romping around on my table since about one year and so I jumped at the opportunity finally to paint them. Here are my first outcomes. Though the zombie has been painted months ago, only the doc and the heavily armed henchman are newly painted. Still need nice names for them, so if you guys have good ideas, feel free to post them.

And here we go..

Glad to see you haven't forgotten how to paint  ;D

They look great  :-*

I think the gunner should be called Bits McGinty, the chap in the red coat, hacksaw Jerome and how about Maddoc for the Mad doc  :D

Thanks for the nice comments, chaps, much appreciated. Also big thanks for the name suggestions, some great ideas there!

Glad to see you haven't forgotten how to paint  ;D

I alsmost did. Six months without brushes, I'm not really satisfied with these to be honest, still need some training.

..and an awesome looking graveyard!

The graveyard is painted by Grimm, he's just a terrain god. I've did use the graveyard on various threads already here on LAF and it's still works.
 
Just wow.

I so want to play VUK too but players are scarce here, so I have veered away so far.

That's a pity, maybe we can play a game together meeting at Tactica or somewhere else in the north.

Off we go then! I do have lots of Cthulhu monster stuff mainly from RAFM, but it was real hard to find some suitable minis for my Dunwich parish. Copplestone's hillbillies came up for my rescue, and from there the comunitiy grew. Eight comely fellows are prepared now and I will start painting soon ...  8)

Thanks, Mason!

yes, glad I finally can use them for a game. Also thinking about making some zombies for the gang using the Steam-Punk zombie heads.

Beautiful start. Love the blood splatter.

Thank you, the blood splatter are very easy to make, you only need some diluted red color and a stiff bristled brush for splattering.

There is something paricularly cool in the rules of Deatch Cult I'm looking forward to. Injection of Zombies in the game with "diabolical serum"! Though it's a tricky one as you have to roll a dice if you want to inject a zombie..

Anyway, I had to involce that lovely girl in my gang..:) Also I have a new zombie, a conversion, incl. LAM Steam-Punk mechanist and a zombie head from the same range:

New members for the Death Cult! A Witch! Admittedly not the usual kind of. A woman doesn't need to be old and ugly to be a witch, I think :) Also she doesn't need to wear some dirty clothes. I wanted to paint this Westwind figure since many years, this time I've finally managed it. The both little fellas (some kind of mini-Sasquatch or whatever) are supposed to be her faithful familiars. The miniatures are unreleased LAM ones.

(http://www.backofbeyond.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/vuk_death_cult_08.jpg)

The car on the pic looks a bit flat painted, that's because it's not painted at all. Still have to give it a go. The two boned sculptures are from Monolith, very nice and useful stuff.

All excellent and creative additions, friends! Very lovely!  :-*

So it's time to introduce the Anzengruber family, representing some of the fearful Gündelbach folk. Some police agents believe that the family split in the late nineteen century and one part went over to the states, settling down in the Dunwich area ...

If you follow the Gündelbach police reports, there where horrible occurrences and unbelievable malpractices around the Anzengruber farm down in the deep Gündelbach woods, culminating in the horrendous events in January 1924. Leading and protecting the ancient swabian family was Theresia Anzengruber, born Bockenwald:

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/93_14_12_14_10_09_54_2.JPG)


She had two half-brothers, one of them Leif Anzengruber, whose mother was unknown and who has also been her husband:

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/93_14_12_14_10_09_54_3.JPG)


The other half-brother was Malte, a malformed but nevertheless frolic guy, always good for a joke. He was very popular with the local woodcutters due to his friendly smile and grasping attitude at work, calling him "a good hand!" His descent on the maternal side is also unclear:

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/93_14_12_14_10_09_54_1.jpg)


Here a rare picture of Theresia, Leif and Malte at the farm's unkempt pond:

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/19/93_14_12_14_10_09_54_0.jpg)


This report will be continued, featuring the other two brothers of the family, Siegfried and Levin, and the family's lovely children Lavinia, Traudel and Edwin ...

Do you want to know the german Word for Banjo or the german equivalent of a Banjo? That would be, in case of the Azenhubers, a "Zupfinschdrumentle".

just to be clear here
and as someone from northrhinewestphalia i have to point out that
thats not german thats bavarian or some other heavy accent :D :D ;)
and the rest of us do not use that worrd....  ;D :D ;D

i think the best compairsion would be normal english and a tick texan accent :D


so yeah this may make sense :D

Various stuff, useful for any sorts of cult (or not cult) gaming by various manufacturers. Fantascene, RAFM, Stronghold Terrain, LAM. Just ask me if you'd like to know more about a particular piece.

Painting stuff like this makes really fun, it doesn't take that much time and it looks nice on a board. I definitely need more of such little things.

Two new protagonists today, another Zombie, actually Frankenstein Monster's bride from Foundry (amazing sculpt, made by Steve Buddle ages ago)  and another conversion of a LAM figure. This time I've beheaded Plynkes (sorry, Dylan :)) and gave him a new head (again from the Steam-Punk range), wearing a cap and a gasmask. I think this way he does look even more dangerous  >:D

Use what you already have and add some modern touches to it.

I use a lot of my Mordheim scenery and just add period cars, phone boxes etc to set the period.

Go for an old fashioned Northern European village setting and you will already be halfway there with your Witchtown scenery and just add the more 'modern' stuff as you go.

Well, I was thinking of Germany as the place but I agree, a castle would be too much of a cliche. A lab would be great, any hints for stuff to buy for?

Yes, of course, exactly what I have thought for the first game, some half-temibered Witchtown houses + some cars and so on. Later on would be nice to build up some sort of a lab.

Failing that, the usual would do. Lab tables, big electric generators, plenty of shelves full of wonders. The building itself could be an old disused warehouse, boarded up and over grown.

There are some issues (that's actually why I haven't quite finished it, yet) - I'll have to do some putty-work where the bell-tower meets the roof, otherwise it will seem gravity-defying.

I wanted to make the roof removable, but realized that it would require major conversion-work, so the church is going to be there as a mood-setter only (but I can always make a floor-plan, or simply allow for a character entering it to do a search for interesting clues/stuff).

This time something really big. Such expensive (20BP!) piece should be big. The figure is from Reaper as far as i know, bought ages ago because I buy everything (or almost everything) I see that is looking like Frankenstein's monster. I probably could make a whole gang using only these constructs.

Of course I am not going to put it to the gang for the first gang, but who knows by some luck by the Zombie serum injection I can replace some of my zombies with this guy  >:D

Agree, way too clean. Also I really don't know why I've decided to paint the mummy "flesh" in grey colors  ::) Visiting the Archeological museum in Florence last summer I've been able to see real mummies and they weren't grey but brown.

Haha how brilliant.  I just thought about my Conan unravelling a mummy earlier this day!

Love what you're doing.

Thank you :)

All those mummies look great, but the darker looks a lot older and maybe menacing than those light ones.

Time to introduce the rest of the Anzengruber clan. First and foremost, Siegfried, Paterfamilias and father of strange Edwin, the maniac:

On to Levin, another brother of Theresia. As far as we know, no own kids.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/20/93_06_01_15_7_11_02_2.jpg)


Daughter of Theresia and Leif: the beautiful Lavinia. Well, usually she's wearing a long garment to hide her legs and a bonnet. This rare picture shows her hunting outfit ...

And a group shot of the family in front of their homestead:

Surprisingly some rumours continue to circulate about other children Theresia gave birth to. Some say it had been twins many years ago, but nobody could confirm it or procure any evidence about them. Nor about their father ...

Lavinia is a Werner Klocke sculpt he did many years ago for a subgame of the german DSA/Armalion-Miniaturen range called Myranor. She was part of a box of miniatures "Myranische Helden 2" and you can see her here http://www.armalion-kompendium.de/?section=miniaturen&subsection=dsaboxen&id=90 (http://www.armalion-kompendium.de/?section=miniaturen&subsection=dsaboxen&id=90)

I just checked my lead pile and found another one. If you're interested just send me a pm.  :)

Yes, we definitely should :) And in the meantime I will put together another cult.

Yes, it is, James, agree. I've bought this Monolith miniature about 8-10 years ago and all the time I didn't know what to make with it. This cult was the opportunity. I have no other miniature that would fit the role of a Magus that good :)

Another masterful addition to your growing cult Professor. This thread has moved into epic territory. Happily I have included a Cult membership in my KS pledge so hopefully soon will be able to peruse the VUK rule set myself and begin work on my own cults. But until that time I shall bask in the glory of you fine gentlemen's efforts. Thanks to all for sharing their efforts with us.

Great thread!! Great painting and modeling!
Really looking forward to see where this is going.
I think idea of a german setting is good. It would make a change to typical hillbilly USA. How about a lost village on the foggy east Frisian coast  (Ostfriesland) or deep in the Black Forest.

Ok, no problem:

- Dunwich obviously,
- Arcane Seekers ("a Gentlemen's Club gone horribly wrong!"),
- Cult de Ghouls (ghouls and friends)
- Dagonites (the fishies from Innsmouth ...)
- Death Cult (totally krank ...)
- Serpent Worshippers (snakemen)

and of course "The Law"!
