Title: Threshold Lurker WIP
Post by: Skrapwelder on October 22, 2014, 06:48:18 PM
I had an extra Reaper Bones Cthulhu and was looking for a project to use him for. He has ended up as part of two different bits of scenery. This first one is to be a kind of barometer of imminent terror within a game or perhaps the timer for a summoning of something from beyond.

Some work in progress shots:

Just a typical starry night viewed through the window of an ancient ruin.

What's this?

Some dimly terrible spawn lurks

Ieeeeee!

Each piece has a little magnet glued into its base that allows it to attach to the metal backing in the window. Still have a little sculpting to do where the pieces join into the surface and then paint it up.

Indeed. There was a horror film in the '80's if i remember correctly called, "The Prince of Darkness", that had a minor role for none less than Alice Cooper. I forgot how the plot goes but at some point there's a huge mirror that functions as a portal and the image of a monstreous arm coming thrue the mirror comes to mind. ;-)

so.......i just picked up my reaper bones cthulhu....is the head supposed to be that soft ?
Title: Re: Threshold Lurker WIP

Yes, the head is intentionally softer than other bones miniatures.  I think this has something to do with molding all of the tentacles.

I moved to only painting with with brush on acrylics about three years ago, so I don't know anything about army painter stuff.
