The stars align...... IT RISES AGAIN!!!! A step into the abyss (April 2014).

[Commander Vyper]

No these days I have even less time than ever with the twins and life in general, but all things have their time and space in this life: (Cthulhu projects create their own though outside of the limitations of our own euclidean geometry restricted little existence!).

For all the things that are progressing, there are hundreds if not thousands of miniatures that have gone without paint or progress for far too long.

Thanks for the comments, appreciated.

Next up, finished shoggy and some tombstones wip.

Shoggoth tentacles finished, local model shop out of gloss varish so still to do:







Might get another one and go for that neon blue pulsating eyes look I was talking about...we'll see.

Nothing on the tombstones as yet but started the servitors tonight, pointless pic but took it anyway!



Part of me wants to go really alien, but I think they'll end up fleshy.

Nice work, looks really good.

Excuse my ignorance but is that gray primer that you use? What are the benefits to using gray?

Cheers

I use black, grey and white depending on tone of the mini, These will be fleshy, so a grey gives a nice base to the washes/thinned coats. If I was going for a bit brighter hue I'd start with a white undercoat.

Black I use where there's metallics and deep shading involved and where the figure may well be darker when finished, (although with the shoggoth I used white and kept glazing it with green and black inks to give 'sticky', bright depth to the finished mini). Grey's kind of middle of the road, neutral standard undercoat for me.

Hope that helps.

Really great stuff Commander!

To be honest, I never really cared to much for those Deep Ones, but seeing yours has changed my tune (now it sounds like Erich Zann's violin.)  May have to look closer.

I'm slowly making a dent into my other minis, maybe someday I can start putting some real effort into Lovecraft.

Hell, I'm still working on zombies!

[Commander Vyper]

Bought some Tengu cthulhu tomb stones, added these to some GW ones, a Fenris stone mile marker and some metal tombstones from FOW and started putting the graves together:





Polystyrene trimmings to give the graves height, make them appear to be 'full' or descreated etc... Coffin lid shield from my bitz crate, metal skull from Ben at Black Cat Bases (CHEERS) fixed using PVA glue/superglue, the dipped in scenic basing material.

Close up of the coffin lid:


Enjoy!

I really love your Shoggoth! 

Where are your Servitors from?

[einarolafson]

You have painted the shoggoth very fast. Well done, I like it. Looking forward to seeing those gravestones finished.

[Bako]

Honestly, I missed this great beauty of a blasphemous thread?

[Commander Vyper]

I really love your Shoggoth! 

Where are your Servitors from?

Yup the project that slumbers beneath the waves is rising again. Well the LPC got my mind twisting to the vast darker corners of the great beyond.

After losing 3d6 san on some Mi-go repaints and basing and painting the first of three gibbering flutists of the outer gods, I thought I'd get on with those graves.

More later... 'they' are restlest and I need more flesh.

[Commander Vyper]

Just working up a consistent soil drybrush then will move onto the headstones

[Commander Vyper]

Almost finished the next two servitors, just the vestigial eyes and basing to sort. Will post up tomorrow,  well later today.

[Commander Vyper]

And they are done:

Loving those ...äh...Things  . And I am going to steal your Graves .
