Title: Attack of the Worm Mutants! Deadlands Hell On Earth wormling figs painted up
Post by: Hobby Services on March 28, 2017, 10:56:11 PM

Latest project, half a dozen wormling figs from Studio 2's postapocalyptic Deadlands Hell On Earth range.

Pretty versatile models, since horrible humanoid worm things fit in most other postapoc settings, as well as making good general scifi aliens, Mythos weirdos, or fantasy dungeoncrawl critters.  I'll show you the Age of Worms, Kyuss.

Three-piece castings with separate arms.

There's only one body sculpt but it's pretty easy to bend into different poses.  Two different pairs of arms, which can be swapped around and bent as well.

All things considered you can get a lot of variation out of a quite simple sculpt, and the things sure do look creepy and unnatural.  Slender, but taller than a normal human even in their hunched pose.

So thumbs up on these figs, and here's me doing my part to give a rather obscure range a bit more exposure.

Definitely creepy and unnatural.

Well done.

Very nice, I always had a soft spot for headlands and it's spin-offs.

 :o Nice little things! So it's possible to find simple but very effective monsters without complicated sculpts.

Oh, man, those are wonderful.  :-*


ACK! $37 shipping cost to Canada from the U.S.!? No wonder I never heard of these before...

That doesn't sound right.  Shipping via 1st Class International from most US zips to most Canadian addresses shoul be about $13.75, at least for a small package with only a pack or two of minis.  I'd either contact the company (who I haven't dealt with directly, bought these off ebay) or find someone in the US to order you some and forward them if that doesn't work out.

But yes, they are pretty wonderful minis.  Creepy as can be, and easy to repose for variety.

Well, they chose FedEx as their fulfilment partner. 'Nuff said.  :-[

I think the cost of postage can come down even lower than $13.00, but prices have been rising lately.
