Hey everybody a local gamer and sculptor put together a Kickstarter Lovecraft style, check it out and let me know what you think!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mythosfoundry/cthulhu-mythos-foundry-style
-
Well, that's just spiffy. There's $150 gone out of my budget next month, assuming the KSer is funded.
-
That is massive! Nice job too....
-
First I read it [Cthulhu Mythos] [Foundry] [Style] and thought that the guys at Wargames Foundry had really gone mad...
-
So did I... But then again, if they had "dun it" I prolly would've pledged. Now, not likely. $150 may be an amazing deal for such a large mini, but after you add p&p + customs fee + VAT on top of that you are looking at something in the vicinity of $220. Which is a bit too much for a single mini for me. Mileages vary obviously.
-
Very nice but considering gaming purposes really no need for such a beast... Not planning on letting the player characters arm themselves with cannonss, ATRs etc.

I hear you on that most games it will not see a tabletop but that one time the look on the players faces will be true horror! ;) Also the stretch goal minis look like they will be great.
-
Two of the stretch goals mini appears to be former FU-UK Cthulhedo minis. The big Cthulhu seems to take shape nicely enough. At 16,5"/42 cm, it's as close to a correct scale walking mountain as you'll get, either for 15 or 28 mm. Still, 150$ is a more than I can afford to spend right now, even if I'm tempted.
-
It looks like the project has been funded now it is time for some stretch goals!

Nice, is that 25mm?
Thanks
-
Miniatures: The miniatures are in Trü 30™. Trü 30™ is approximately 1/61 (1/60.96) scale, where a six foot tall human would be 30mm to the top of the head. All the models in the Trü 30™ range will maintain the 1/61 scale to each other (Cthulhu is also in Trü 30™).
If the Lovecraft mini is in the same scale, I guess it would be ok to mix it with 28mm minis.

Thanks

There have been some new WIP pictures posted, and it's really looking good:

Now I'm convinced to participate.

I am not one for kickstarters but this miniature is quite lovely.
-
Yes I hope it will be made and sold afterwards even if the goal is not met
-
I've asked the question, and I'll keep you updated.

Lovecraft and Greene will be available. As well as some other figures.
Here is the Tom Meier's Sonia Greene's green:

And some other figures to be included in the Mythos Foundry range:

The General controlled by the alien brain, the autopsied alien (I do need this one as a Delta Green terrain accessory), and the guy with the camera.
-
New pledge levels have been added for those who wants only the smaller minis.
$15 for Sonia Greene + HP Lovecraft
$20 for Area 51 figures
$30 for Moutains of Madness figure set, including an elder thing.
Here are the pictures for these new pledges, which can be added to the previously available pleges:

Elder thing and cold weather investigator are not sculpted yet.
-
oh, now that's interesting....
Thanks
PS I assume that you can "buy" these even though they are not unlocked as stretch gaols....
-
Correct. The only difference is that once they are unlocked as stretch goals, pledges of more than $150 get them for free.

Good, now it's the $10 international shipping to grapple with... though I guess I'll save in the long run....
-
I really like the Area 51 stuff. Top notch. :-*
-
The big guy is now being casted. If you ever wondered about the process, here is a video of how it starts:

Does this Mythos Foundry have a webshop?
-
Not yet. But you can try to get in touch with the owner via Kickstarter if you want to buy something.

A scale shot:
(https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/423633/posts/484145/image-259044-full.jpg?1368821856)
It lacks a few tentacles, and some parts will be refined before it goes to casting, but you get the idea.
-
I don't want this big guy on my tabletop. It will break it.
-
It took seven years to fulfill, but I think it was worth waiting:

The small figure is HPL, in 28mm.
Now I need about a gallon of green paint.
-
Lovely stuff :-*
-
wow
Are the 28mm Lovecraft and Greene in prodcution?
Thanks
-
I am curious too. The Sonia Greene & HP Lovecraft figure are quite nice.
-
I did get them together with the big guy, along with all the stretch goals of the KS campaign (including the most faithful rendition of an Elder thing to date). I don't know if they are available in any other way. I'll post pics when I have them painted.
-
:o
That is a seriously impressive model.
