Cthulhu project in 1/35

[Freddy]

As a spinoff of my 1/35 ww2 project
https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=138659.0
I also have a Cthulhu one. Far less ambitious, but maybe worth a forum thread.

First of all, the herd of innocent civilians. Various manufacturers, most of them also fit post-ww2 and pre-ww1 eras. Most of them are factory models, the doctor in the foreground (dr Ben Dover) and his assistant (two left) are my conversions.


Armed civilians. The gangster guy and the fat one with the cigar are my sculpts, the others are simply heavily converted.


Law enforcement. A German cop (they had this uniform till the 70s, without the swastikas ofc), a French one (I think it is also a good generic European policeman) and a Hungarian.


Hungarian gendarmes (in Hungary, police was responsible for the cities, gendarmes for the countryside)


Hunters. my other hobby is hunting, so I made some of them. Most are for the modern era, but Central European hunting gear is quite conservative, these two fit any era from pre-ww1 to modern. The left one is a factory set, the right one my sculpt, the head is from an accessory set.


A fancy car (1932 Cadillac Fleetwood). A diecast piece, I only added some weathering and sculpted a driver.



And now the baddies. The biggest drive in this project for me is to sculpt and paint new monsters, free of any converntion. The worst thing the world could do with the legacy of Lovecraft was that they canonized it. Lovecraft is about the fear of the unknown, not the neat AD&D bestiary entries detailing the weak ponts of the shoggoth and the exact litter size of the Black Goat in the Woods. So rather than aiming for the etablished monsters, I try to approach the topic with the ,,anything goes" mindset, as long as that anything is creepy enough.

This guy came from a boardgame called Cultistorm.


This one also.


This is from a company called Printminis. I painted him Greek theme, to remember my recent vacation in Greece



This one is my sculpt.


Also this tentacle. Hide your anime girls, I made some resin copies of this one.


Mr Freikörperkultur is a generic monster (cast in resin now), I will use for postapo too, but he makes a great ghoul in the Cthulhu universe.



Mr Tentacleface is just a generic cultist-mutant type.


That is mostly it for now, new things will come soon. I usually play small skirmishes with these models, like in the game Perilous Tales-a great solo horror skirmish system, but I think it was not even released officially. I am now also ramping up in Fear of the Dark. And ofc, I use the figures in Lovecraft-themed board games instead of the meeples.

Impressive.

Fantastic project ! (And I mean that in both senses of the word).

[Freddy]

Thank you for the comments, guys!

Lovely work on all of them, I particularly like your conversions and sculpts.
The beasties you have created are great too.

Thank you for the kind comments!

Nice.   I'd love to see the 1/35 terrain you'll be using.

Thanks!
Nothing really fancy here, my terrain is on the simple side, and I also make it fit the most periods and both 28mm and 1/35. Most 28mm terrain also fits 1/35, with the exception of maybe some buildings. For these cottages, I made interchangeable door sections, on the pic the 1/35 one:

Some swamps:

Here a ww2 battle with some premade ruins, MDF fences, aquarium foliage and model railroad trees:

I also have a Garden of Morr from GW, fits the creepy theme.

Mr Tentacleface painted.

1/35 isn’t a scale I have considered for gaming, but your project certainly looks great! I like how you have modified or sculpted from scratch many of the elements you need for gaming, and your painting is excellent. I will be following this.!

[Freddy]

Thank you, guys!

Mr Tentacleface just had his debut in a recent game of Perilous Tales. Eldritch powers do not make you bulletproof, he learned that the hard way. (The Iron Maiden beer bottle caps are used for suspicious activity markers here).

Thank you! We'll see whats next, I am now checking Fear of the Dark scenarios and try to make the figures I am missing for them.
