Thanks guys!

Half of the heroes from the core game painted up.

As I no longer have a blog to refer to I will leave this link to my painting thread over at BoardGameGeek. I got lots of questions about painting and tools from the Cthulhu Death May Die community on facebook and on BGG so I made a large compilation focusing on the tools, paints and some other stuff. LAF does not allow for more than 8 pictures per post and this entry had quite a few more.

Next similar post will be a step-by-step painting some of the larger monsters, hopefully that kind of tutorial will fit here as well.

Wonderful work!

Second half of the core game heroes finished. Had a lot of fun painting these and spent some extra time on each hero. I like that there are so "few" regular humans in the game to paint up, as it allows for speed painting large monsters and spending quality time on a select few models.

I will probably paint up Yog Sothoth and Shub-Niggurath next to have more boss encounters ready for the game. There will likely be some kind of tutorial on those boxed sets as well. After that painting of the season 2 boxed set will commence.

Beautiful work! I have the same figures and haven’t painted them yet- will definitely be referring to this thread for inspiration.

Wow the two pages contain some awesome painting, the speed paints are phenomenal but those investigators…incredible brush work

Thanks for the kind words guys. I started painting up the additional bosses, Yog-Sothoth, and the Black Goat today.

It's still a rough work in progress, currently waiting for the oil and enamel washes to dry before I can move on to the next step. Trying to document as I go so that I can post a tutorial once they are finished.

Thank god for owning an airbrush, can't imagine painting the dark young and the Black Goat solely by hand. It would take forever with all the tentacles!

Some pictures of gameplay for a change. We played scenario 6 from the core box. Pretty bland compared to most of the other ones. Having played through all 6 basic scenarios we enjoyed scenario 3, 4 and 5 a lot. Scenario 2 was OK, My wife HATES "fire" so can't get her to replay scenario one haha.

Anyways, the showdown with Hastur was quite intense, as the Kid and Borden died due to Yellow sign effects soon after Hastur spawned, leaving Rasputin and sister Beth to handle him. It looked as if we were going to fail the scenario when Hastur made his final jump to a yellow portal at the far end of the board. Sister Beth, was almost insane with 1 slot left on the sanity track when she moved in and dealt 11 wounds with her one and only attack. She died from insantity effects right after. Then Rasputin ran in and dealt the final blow as the sole survivor.

He would have been killed by the remaining cultists and monsters, and had no "spare deaths" left. But a win nonetheless.

We will be replaying scenario 3-5 until I start painting up season 2 content.

Another nice set of figures, must have been a great game with them!

Painted up the Black Goat, one of the add-on bosses for the game. Unfortunately I had a horrible varnish accident halfway through

Had to do my best to salvage the paintjob.

A longer explanation as to what happened, and a tutorial on how this mini was painted is posted on BoardGameGeek https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3013966/painting-whole-thing-season-1-2-and-some-expansion

Nice painting (I imagined the Black Goat a lot less humanoid though)

Yeah CMON took some liberties with re-imagining a lot of the monsters and some old ones. There are some artistic choices that I really don't agree with regarding mostly monsters in the season 2 expansion.

The Black Goat and the dark spawns all painted up. Had very little time for painting this week, but hope to paint up Yog-Sothoth and Wilbur Whateley later this weekend.

The Dark Spawn were pretty much speed painted with airbrush, oil wash, some drybrushing and minor details added by regular brush at the every end.
