Caller in the Darkness
« on: February 25, 2008, 11:09:43 PM »


While browsing monster miniatures I found this delightful creature.  I had to immediately order a single online to add to my cthulhu monster gallery.

Kinda reminds me of the Evil horror that is summoned at the climax of Evil Dead 2.  Anyway thought I'd share.  I love stumbling on cheap models like this.

Anyone know of any others like this please let me know....

Who is the manufacturer or a link to pick one up?

My bad.... It is a Dungeons and Dragons miniature... from their Unhallowed series...It has been out and availbale for a while.  They come in boxed sets like heroclix.  

If you search for Dungeons and Dragons miniatures singles you should find them.  I paid $1.48 I think for this one from an independant dealer.

They had a few more things I ordered like a rat swarm and a swarm of scarab beatles.  All real cheap.  Real good way to buy some extra monsters for you wargames.

Down at the bottom of the page. I use Auggie alot, but he's in the U.S. If you're in the UK, I'm sorry, but I don't make researching British singles suppliers a priority. :)

That's a shame cause I look everywhere, but then again with the state of the dollar ( what is it now about $40 to the £?  :P) it's hardly suprising, US = bargains for us 'brits', not so the otherway round eh ;)

$1.96 to the pound last time I looked, but for some reason P&P prices seem to have gone through the roof lately...

I do hope I don't start a run on Auggies store so I can't find what I want anymore...

I've got the old LP of David McCallum reading the story 'The Rats in the Walls'. Very creepy!

We played a game a few weeks ago that was reminiscent of Damnation Ally but instead of Billions of cockroaches we used about 15 of those rat swarms.  The only thing left of my squad was some polished bones and a whole bunch of shell casings.

Good grief, the priest looks like he's modelled on Kermit the frog rather than on Johnny Depp, in spite of it's name.... :D  
Seriously, though, quite nice stuff  8)  8)
