Thanks. I have got the Black Cat Bases one ready to be painted. Maybe some day I'll buy the Fenris one but I can't afford it right now. I have got the resin dead Mi-Go on the table. Please, don't get me wrong, I love the Fenris Games one, it is a fantastic miniature and when I can I'll buy one.

And today... this is the Black Cat Bases Avatar of Perversion. I like this miniature a lot. It's smaller than the Avolakia miniature but it is a different way of approaching this horrible being. I have included a picture showing both.

I´m planning to usem both in my Strange Aeons games. May be I´ll use the Black Cat bases as a less powerful Y´golonac summoning and the Avolakia´s one as allmighty godling.

It is good to see the different companies versions of the Mi-go, I have the Black Cat one that I have not started yet.

What colors did you use to paint the model?

Started to post some pictures last night but my photo's looked like crap so I am going to have to reshoot the images.

Yea, I may have to grab a few from EM4 also on my second order. I am working on my stuff now and it is interesting. some stuff is to scale to things like Black Cat (some other minis I have) and others are just small compared to them. Like the Serpent Man in robes and the Detective with the Tommy Gun. I do also try to keep things in perspective that at least with human figures we are are not all the same size in real life so it makes me feel a bit better when I pass some guys in the hallway that are about twice my size (former football players).

What colors did you use to paint the model?

I have used Foundry and Vallejo Game Color paints and GW Devlan mud (Vallejo has a new kind of washes, they look the same that GW inks to me).

For the skin: Foundry Conker Brown 54A, Devlan mud, highlight with F. Conker Brown 54A/B/C
Wings: Vallejo Game Color Dark flesh, Devlan mud, VGC darl flesh, VGC dwarf flesh, VGC elf flesh, 50 % elf flesh/ 50% bone.
Wing dots: any very dark brown.
Head: Foundry Raw linen 30A, Vallejo Game Color 50% yellow/50% green inks, F raw linen 30A/B/C, Foundry Boneyard 9B (only some dots in higher places).

I hope that helps.

I´ll take some pictures of the Mi-Gos near human size miniatures for comparisson. I think that the eM4 Mi-Gos are the best because their small size but I´m planning to use the others too. They would be like ants or bees, so I´ll have Mi-Go soldiers, workers, nurses...

Cheers.

More great miniatures! Fantastic. 
I had not realized the EM4 Mi Go were so small.
I like the smaller Y'Golonac as well.

I seem to remember Lovecraft saying that the Mi Go had ways of modifying their bodies for different jobs and environments, so this is keeping with the theme.

I noticed that some of EM4's stuff is very on scale and some things are very tiny. The Detective with Tommy Gun for example is small, but the adventurer with the rifle and shotgun both pair up to Black Cat's line just fine....the Serpent Men are very tiny also compared to other things as well.

Thanks!!

I have taken this picture to show how the Mi-Gos work with Uncle Mike´s miniatures and Black Cat bases miniatures. From left to right: Grenadier/Mirliton Mi-go, eM4 Miniatures Mi-go, Uncle Mike´s Threshold agent, Black Cat Bases Hybrid.

Miniature 34: This miniature is from RAFM, set Motorcycle Cops. I love almost all the miniatures in the Call of Cthulhu range. I´ll use it as marker for some special scenario.

Cheers.

Well, what can I say, other than that everything looks great. I love you're work and Y'Golonac's skin looks fantastic.

Thanks!

Day 35, I have been preparing a Dagonite Kult for playing Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten. I'm still adding members (because I can't stop!!). This is a Four A Miniatures cultist, although I have replaced one of his tentacles with a Pulp Figures spare "hand with knife".

Those are just too damn good!

Excellent work sir.

More superb paintjobs!

I love that motorbike and sidecar set, but how does it scale up with BCB and UM stuff?

I have four of those Four A cultists waiting for some attention. I will be doing some weapon swaps to make them more usable, too. They are such nice figures that they are worth that extra bit of work.

I´ll take a picture along with UM and BCB stuff for you.

Day 36: This is another cultist for my Mother Hydra Cult, he is from Black Cat Bases, Innsmouth Resident 2 I have used the same colour in all my cultist robes and hoods.
