The Fish Fellow & your Well Armed Agents of Pleasantness share the common bond of FINE sculpting & an abundance of character. GREAT WORK all around!

a Donald Duck mutant? 

 
I hadn't noticed that......

He's got the Innsmouth look 

I think he has....

Cheers, Al!
This mould is starting to come together quite well.
It was going to contain the Yeti as well, but that may have to done in resin as it is so big.

[ImhotepMagi]

That hybrid is damn good looking. Maybe make the lips a little thicker/more blubbery to lessen the "duck" effect. You might consider a small nose to add a little extra human to him, but it looks great without too.

[Elk101]

I reckon the painting will also substantially reduce any duck effect.

I am confident that it is just a misleading angle in that pic that gives that impression.
It does not have a 'beak' so it will not be a problem.

I just have to try ad make some mates that work well with him now....

[Centaur_Seducer]

Looking good mate! Your sculpting is improving with every attempt

I did not sculpt the Hybrid, mate.
That one was made by redshadows.
I shall be attempting to provide him with some mates, though...



Just for completeness sake, here is the first three of the Survivor family...







Father and two daughters, Mummy will be added at the weekend.
I just need to decide what she will be armed with....

That will make another four pack in the mould.

So there are five spaces left, one or two will be more Hooded Ones, a couple of Hybrids and one more.....undecided on that at the moment.

Yesterday I had a visit from smokezombie and we decided to play a huge game of Strange Aeons, 50 BP a side, with some nefarious Cultists of the Purple-Headed Worm attempting a Summoning and a team of Special Operations operatives of the British Army attempting to stop them.

I shall try to sort out some sense from the pictures that made it later on, but here is a taster of the Cult at the start of the game, with some of their members taking up position in the courtyard of Fackham Hall, preparing to summon some nastiness...




More later when I see what survives the cull....

[Hammers]

Cheers, mate!
Much appreciated.

I should also show you this little fella who will be going in the same mould...




I recently acquired this sculpt from redshadows and should be getting my grubby mitts on him this week.

I now need to make some friends for him....

Now, *there* is something I'd like to own. Make a set!

[Elk101]

"Fackham Hall"! Really? 

[Mason]

I shall be making a start later in the week, sir.
 

"Fackham Hall"! Really? 

Yep!
 



We had an interesting game, which was mainly a test to see how well the system could cope taking it up to a larger skirmish game.
Conclusion: With enough Command models it should work just fine.

The scenario was fairly simple.

The Cult would begin the game in the courtyard of Fackham Hall, summoning something very sinister whilst the Special Operations team would be appearing at the Docks and attempting to stop the ceremony before it reached its conclusion.

There will be no AAR as such as we didnt take too many pictures but here are those that survived...


The Cult gather...








A couple of burly Cultists guard the gateway to Fackham Hall whilst the ceremony took place.....







A view of the surrounding area, with the Docks just visible on the left...








Things started to become quite dire for the forces of His Majesty early on when the teddy bear-armed Maniac felled two of the leaders of the team early on (with two Command skills out of the game things became quite fraught from then on...)....







The Maniac was finally brought down by a hail of automatic fire, but not before she had taken care of a fair few of the attackers....







In the meantime the Evil Cult Leader (1st Class) had convinced two of his followers to slit their own throats on the Altar of the Old Gods.
He had asked a third but his response was slightly different....something along the lines of telling the Cult Leader to poke something somewhere that he would rather not.....

Not to be put off by this response the bold Leader placed his hands on the head of the sacrificial victim which would play 'host' to the summoned entity.....









.....and managed to summon a horrendous beast of enormous proportions....







.....and promptly passed out!








Seizing her opportunity, the 'visiting' Cult Leader, Mary Krimbow, took charge of proceedings and Commanded the creature to descend upon the unfortunate remainder of the Special Operations Team and devoured them....




...and that was pretty much that......OUCH!

[DeafNala]

YET ANOTHER victory for the Forces of Unpleasantness...as Leo "The Lip" Durocher put it: "nice guys finish last." It would have been cool/in character if, upon assuming control of The Beasty, Ms Krimbow had directed His Ugliness to consider her rival Cult Leader as an appetizer.

Funny you should say that, Al, as it was discussed at the time....

Who is to say that she did not...?
 

[Constable Bertrand]

Hahaha, great narrative. Glad Mary has taken a bold career move. I wish her well.

The terrain, PJs and sculpts look perfect Mason.

Cheers
Matt

[EndTransmission]

As always, a great writeup and an inspiring set of terrain on show there
