Holy Smokes! It's been awhile! But, I've finally got some stuff ready to send off to the caster.
I'm in a quandary... the pictures aren't all that great, and I'm concerned that bad pictures are worse than no pictures at all... but what the heck, I want to show them off. First up, I've got four possessed mummies!
Cultists have broken into an ancient tomb, and planted Seeds of Nyarlathotep into the embalmed corpses found there. Hoping to create powerful servants, the mummies rose up, uncontrollable and mindless - and bursting like hideous fruit. Their ancient bones and bandages cannot contain the eldritch evil contained within!
The Marionette!
The supplicant!
The crawler!
The gesturer!
The mummies are in "True 25mm" scale, like old school Grenadier or Ral Partha models. This makes them significantly smaller and more slender than current figures from, for example, Games Workshop or Reaper. Sculpted by Tyson Rhody, based on designs by me! Tyson used Ebob's excellent armatures as the base for the sculpts.
Next up, I've got a Pterro-Man, sculpted by Jack Wolfe! The sculpt has two different heads, and as he's a member of an entire race of beings (albeit a rare and dying race...), this gives you the option to have more than one on your table.
The Pterro-Men rule whatever parts of the Lost World that they inhabit, using their mystical/mental powers to enslave the brutal prehuman races that inhabit the land...
I've left the wing off for the first couple of pictures, to give you a better look at the body.
It's a multi-part model, I used blue tack to hold it together for the pictures... apologies for the lumpy fit, but that's what happens when you put a blob of putty in the joint...
And here's a picture of the wonderful textures that Jack sculpted on the back:
These are the photos that I'm unhappy with... I don't know why they look so rough. The Pterro-Man is in "Heroic 28mm" scale, and matches well in size with most current manufacturers.
And I've got a couple of more poses planned...
And last but not least... it's a little turtle!
A snapping turtle! Scaled to match my turtle shell shields, sculpted by Tyson again.
I'm sending them off to the caster this week, hopefully I'll have them back by the time I graduate from the Police Academy in mid November!
