ImhotepMagi's Mythos Menagerie-Cthulhu idol added (6/13/18)

[ImhotepMagi]

As a Lovecraft fan, I have been meaning to get into Strange Aeons for a while. Lucky man that I am, my beautiful wife informed me that she has gotten me the Bundle of the Beast, Threshold Agents I, Fishemen I and a black Goat membership with the Deep One as a first anniversary present!

Being that I already have some cultists (http://deepdarkdungeons.blogspot.com/2013/02/enochs-kin.html) and some terrain (http://deepdarkdungeons.blogspot.com/2012/11/temple-of-old-ones.html) I think I should have enough to start out.

My usual skirmish board is 3ftx3ft...will that be a good size to play on?

Hello and welcome!

I am not sure what all you get in those packs, but 3-4 agents, some cultists and random monsters should last you a long time. While game doesn't need many miniatures (less than 10 most of the time for me), collecting one of each profiles becomes quite a task, hehe.

I will make sure I take a more detailed look at your blog and will follow it - I am always eager to see what others do regarding to SA.

As for 3x3 table - games are played on 2x3 so its perfect!

[ImhotepMagi]

Yeah...I should end up with 3 agents, 2 fishmen and a deep one from the packs. I already have the 5 cultists and tons of other figures that can be pressed into service. I have a couple of Warhammer Chaos spawn that are begging to terrify some agents, if I ever get them painted up.

And thanks for following the blog. There's not much on it for Lovecraft stuff yet, but I'm sure all of my future efforts will end up there.

[Mathyoo]

I hardly seem to have a list with more than 3 agents in it, 4 if I equip them poorly! 
I haven't seen rules for deep ones yet, 2 fishmen are more than enough, as are 5 cultists, imo. Besides, you can always proxy...majority of my fourth games in campaign involve flying nightmares

I was building a pirate ship yesterday and playing with some half painted pirates when I relaized how much funit would be to play pirates versus fishmen... the madness goes on!

[ImhotepMagi]

Yeah, I'm no doubt going to have fun mashing up genres. I already have a little blue police box aimed at doing just that once I have the requisite figures...

Whatever it is that you decide to do: Welcome to the Cult!
 

[ImhotepMagi]

Got some tentacle beasts done up to tide me over until I get my SA swag.

Not sure what I can use them for yet? Ether beings for the resonator for certain I guess. Any regular Lurkers they might match?

Those are very nice and super paint job...

[elysium64]

Very nice, could be used foe Formless Spawn (main rulebook) or better still with the egition of flutes/horns would make excellent Servitors (Shocking btales of Madness....3), in fact I am going to buy me some of those and build some musical instruments.

[Mason]

They look great, ImhotepMagi.
Very appropriate looking.
 

I would be tempted to go with elysium64's suggestion or mess around with existing profiles until you get something you want.

I have a couple of GW beasties that have been patiently waiting to be finished off for ages.
You have just provided the prompt I need.
 

[ImhotepMagi]

Thanks, guys! I really appreciate the nice words.

I will have to see what they could be when I can actually read the books. I don't mind playing with profiles a bit. 

[Mathyoo]

Could be Giant vermin! Swarms! Scrawny one!
In worst case scenario, I suggest just renaming one of the existing profiles!

When you erase "cultist" from cultist profile it could really be anything, if you know what I mean

[Uncle Mike]

Those will do nicely as Ether Beings! Hopefully you find the game flexible enough that they can be used as multiple baddies. Welcome!

[ImhotepMagi]

So yeah...this just happened...



My Bones just arrived! So much great stuff in this box, but I had to post this guy!
