Ghoulish Pickman, Einar Olafson´s Strange Aeons stuff (05/09/2013)

[Mason]

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

Thank you!
Much appreciated.

That Cultist looks great.
Another one for the list.
Please stop now, as you are making me feel lazy.
At least I got twenty SA figures based and undercoated yesterday.
Not sure when they will get painted though.....

Great cultist! I never gave these models a second glance due to the rubish photos on their site but you make them look awesome!

@ Mason could you give us a wip preview?

I have to say 'Ditto' to that.
I remember the pics of the greens, but einarolafson's paintjobs really brings them to life.
Muuuust. Haaaave. Soooome!

@ Mason could you give us a wip preview?

I may just do that!
Starting my own thread may the kick up the Jacksie that I need to keep me moving.
It will most definitely not be a 'mini-a-day' thread, though!
So far, I have managed to assemble and undercoat a few Cultists and just over a dozen Agents/Operatives.
I will be setting most of my SA games in Blighty, though, as my existing scenery collection would best represent the British Isles or Europe, so I have quite a few figures with a British flavour.

Europe really neads some Mythos love! I really love to follow your progress... could really help me to focus on my little Mythos warband...

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.

What you need to remember in respect to the dulwich detectives range is that they are 25+ years old and 25mm figures, so naturally they'll be out of scale to more modern minis.

Anyway...

Love those Mi-go, really nice colours, feel the need to go back to my all purple ones and cauliflower them up a bit!

True, but some also fall into step nicely with my Black Cat figures....

I also try to keep myself in the mind set that not all people or creatures may be the same size also....

Sorry It´s too late to stop,  I have painted more than 20 miniatures (cultists and hybrids, and more coming...)

I would like to see more collections, Cults, Agents and Lurkers from other people. If several of us show their painted miniatures that would be a good way to see a lot of miniatures that maybe we don´t know and we can rediscover some of them again.

Thanks, I remember your thread about painting all those Lovecraftian miniatures, I saw those Grenadier Mi-Gos there and I felt I needed to buy some of them... so thank you!!

That would be good!! Remember that there are several authors that set their stories in UK, Bulgary and some other places in Europe.

Cheers.

Same here, I love to see other people's painted miniatures (good or not so good, that doesn't matter). As soon as I've painted a model, I always post it somewhere to see what people think of it. I have two more painted ones that I still have to post, but that will be after March 31 because I've entered them in an online painting competition and I don't want to spoil the surprise. At the moment I'm busy with three Ghouls and a Ghost.

By the way, I love the squid headed cultist and the hooded one...again, great work and I enjoy watching them a lot.

Beautiful updates einarolafson! 
They are all phenomenal work, but I'm particularly fond of the motorcycle cops and the Cthulhu cultist.

Working on that. At the moment I'm trying to finish some models to play with at the Ducosim convention in may here in the Netherlands. Agents and nasties are waiting on my workbench.

I'm hoping to add some stuff to my Mythos thread soon. I've got a fresh pack of cultists and a missing link shaman to paint up.

It helped fire me up....and to fire you up more I am hosting a contest soon, so paint your stuff up and get ready to play the background sounds awesome.

Day 37, Another Black Cat Bases miniature, the mad scientist in a wheelchair. He will be my Tcho-tcho cult "father/leader". I have several cults in progress, all of them for paying Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten, so I´ll be posting batreps soon.

Another Hybrid for the cult, this time from Rattrap Productions, set Deep One Hybrids I. I have taken a picture of Hybrids from different companies. Left: Rattrap, Middle: Black Cat Bases; Right: Black Cat Bases (I think they match pretty well). I have included a picture comparing the motorcycle along with Uncle Mike´s agent and Black Cat Bases Hybrid.

Cheers.

Just amazing, you know you should do some painting tutorials on how to paint the stripes and such...you work is amazing.
