Slimey Things
« on: June 14, 2010, 12:13:27 AM »
I came across this today, and I want one:

Now, is there a Lovecraftian thing that this would suit?  It seems to fit the genre.  Will have to get out my clear nail polish to get a good mucus going on this one.

Any other slimeys out there?

Otherworld has a nice classic D&D range, if you don't mind male genitalia.

A giant slug or mollusk would suit Glaaki just fine.

This Reaper Purple worm would make a fantastic giant leech or something.

Reaper also makes a pre-painted plastic version of the purple worm.  It's about $20.00 cheaper too.  I have it and it's very nice.  It does not come with the tail piece.

I forgot who those heresy giant slugs were by! lol

khurasan miniatures makes these "Mystri Island Bloodworms".
While not the most impressive sculpt IMO, a darker paint job with some varnish could really bring out the scare factor in these guys.


They also make this Escargon creature, which is actually a beasty from the 1957 monster film The Monster That Challenged the World.
About giant mutant snails that CHALLENGE THE WORLD!
Awesome.

Certainly could be useful but they are 15mm.

I'd 2nd a vote for Glaaki....

A little bit of subtile work adding some spines and you'd have "The Horror from the Lake" ready to lead his undead cultists.

I hope this is in the right place:


I just bought one from eBay, and there are two left right now :) Just type in "Cthonic" and it should come up.

I still haven't gotten around to getting that excellent specimen, Slug Eat Your Face.
