Title: Cthulhu in the Old West : Shadows of Brimstone miniatures (updated 03/09/2015)
Post by: YIU on January 28, 2015, 09:00:59 PM: I bought Shadows of Brimstone core sets.

It's an excellent alternative to Descent and I could not miss it as a Cthulhu fan.

For those who don't know this game, "Shadows of Brimstone is a fast-paced, fully cooperative, dungeon-crawl board game set in the Old West, with a heavy dose of unspeakable horror! Players create characters, taking on the role of a classic Western Hero Archetype. The Heroes venture down into the dark mines, overrun with all manner of ancient demons and foul creatures from another world. With tactical gameplay, lots of dice, and a robust card-driven exploration system, no two games are ever the same as the heroes explore the mines finding new enemies to fight, new loot to collect, and new dangers to overcome. Players can even find portals to other worlds, stepping through to continue their adventures on the other side!"

Here are the miniatures I have painted so far.

The 8 Heroes :

And conversions of hungry dead to create new heroes : Prospector, Male Rancher, Bandida and Huckster :

The Goliath was a real pain to paint without an airbrush....I hate painting large miniatures.

I am currently painting the monsters from the second box and creating new converted heroes.

I also plan to change the monsters with "real" Cthulhu mythos monsters. Fans already created the cards for such monsters like Mi-GO, Shoggoth, Tindalos Hounds,...

Post by: von Lucky on January 28, 2015, 09:08:42 PM: Lovely work. This is how I see me doing the Conan stuff (ie a lot more Cthulhu).

Post by: LordBrentlake on January 29, 2015, 08:27:11 AM: With a bit of conversion I can see the preacher going to the dark side.

Those are nice paint jobs all round. I look forward to seeing more as this goes forwards.

Post by: Mason on January 29, 2015, 08:30:00 PM: Great work on those figures, top paintwork.
Loving how you have added some character to the bases too.
:-* :-* :-*

How do these scale up?
What size are the bases that the heroes are on for instance?

Post by: The Gray Ghost on January 29, 2015, 08:33:47 PM: I picked up some of their walking dead and am hoping to get some of the monsters

edit
just ordered some

Thanks to all of you for the kind comments.

The miniatures are 34mm tall (the bases are 30mm diameter). They are compatible in size with Black Scorpion and Reaper miniatures.

Though the characters are a lot slimmer than either.

Fantastic work with these. I've not bothered to desprue some of mine as the detail was so flat and uninspiring

Post by: YIU on January 30, 2015, 07:37:45 PM: You are right they are slimmer than the other miniatures I mentioned...and lack details compared to the resin painted versions as seen in the rulebook.

Some people replaced all the heroes by Black Scorpion miniatures....I hesitated but after all it's only a board game.

Love the Bandida and the Huckster :)
"Aphrodite IX" head, right?

The Reaper Deadlands-minis could have been nice for the heros as well, by the way ;)

You are right for both Tobias ! Aphrodite head and Reaper Deadlands and Chronoscope would be perfect but I didn't want to spend too much for a board game...I'll add some Reaper Bones BTW....coming soon.

You might see some zombified heroes in the horde.

Two custom heroes :

Post by: YIU on February 14, 2015, 04:31:13 PM: The last miniature from the core sets, the Harbinger. I painted it as a Cthulhu Nightgaunt. The miniature can be removed from the base and the wings are not glued for an easier transport.

And corpse piles I made with various Warhammer bits and SoB Hungry Dead miniatures.

Post by: cerealkiller195 on June 25, 2015, 05:18:40 PM: good stuff, how did you find putting the models together. I am on the fence of picking up the board game, because i know all the models have to be put together unlike other board games. But is the game play worth it because the models DO look nice.
Title: Re: Cthulhu in the Old West : Shadows of Brimstone miniatures (updated 03/09/2015)
Post by: YIU on June 26, 2015, 02:17:28 PM: Thanks,

The miniatures are not so hard to assemble but you will need green stuff to fill some gaps and you'll have to remove some mold lines (like all miniatures in fact).

Once undercoated they are easy to paint and the game is really worth buying even if you are not an hobbyist.

Post by: cerealkiller195 on June 30, 2015, 06:37:09 AM: i've been assembling miniatures since 98 so that doesn't bother me, i admit if i wasn't unemployed when the kickstarter was up i would of pledged for once of everything with some of my buddies. Now every time i see the box set im really tempted to get it if even just to paint the miniatures but if the board game aspect is actually good it is doubly great for my group.
