Great project, very inspirational! Underwater settings are entirely too rare and ones done to this excellent standard even more so.

This thread just gets better! Definitely getting these denizens of the deep from HLBS. Thanks for highlighting these. I would have liked to try Chris Peers “Saurian Safari” for this, but can’t get a reasonably priced copy. I am sure I have an article from one of the magazines for using this set for underwater action.

Did you see the bathysphere? Great as a jumping off point or for a rescue mission?

Yes - I might buy one in the future. However, I do already have an old HLBS submersible thet will be used in games.

More pictures to come soon, as I'm doing more terrain and figures for the game I'm running at the Beachhead show (Bournemouth) in early February.

Definitely looking forward to seeing these.

Wow.  Those platecarpus would make respectably-sized mosasaurs for 15mm.

Oh dear, this rabbit hole is getting deeper!

As a fan of FFoL, I can see this taking hold with our group, almost an undersea adjunct of IHMN.
Cheers,

New stuff finished just in time for my game at the Beachhead show tomorrow:

Salvage team for my red dive crew (converted Meridian divers). Classed as Grunts in FFoL


Shoals of predatory fish (converted Reaper aquatic familiars). Classed as Hordes in the FFoL Wasteland Warriors expansion
