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

[ImhotepMagi]

So, I finally got one of the good guys painted up. He's one of the new Reaper Bones figures. Meet agent Mike Francis!



He was a fun figure to paint and I can't wait to get more Threshold ladies and gents together to fight evil.

Oooh!
I like him.
 

He does look like a stereotypical Mexican bad guy from a Sergio Leone film, but certainly mad enough to be a hunter of eldritch evil.
 

Nice work!

[Diplomatist]

Yep he looks a little like Lee van Cleef.  Is that deliberate!

With a hat like that he must be a Basket Case!

[ImhotepMagi]

I'm sure that's probably what Reaper had in kind when it was sculpted.  He was in my Bones package when it came and he looked like he would fit in.

I don't like the model's hat. It's riding too high. Either his head is too big for the hat, or it shrunk in the wash!

I have the same model and I considered giving him a lobotomy and then attaching the hat lower.

[ImhotepMagi]

Honestly, you don't really see it in general use. That angle does it no favors, but it was the only way to get a shot of the face. The hat covers everything most of the time.

I got bored and decided to write up some inspirational fiction:

Tell me what you think! Comments/critique welcome.

It's been a couple weeks since I've posted, but I've been busy:



I got my SA stuff finally and knocked out the fishmen as quickly as possible. I also worked up this badboy:



Full of tentacled goodness! More info and pics of both on the blog:

Nice work,  ImhotepMagi.
I really like the Horror, it certainly seems just about right to me.
 

Not get those Threshold Agents painted up.
These beasties need controlling.
 

[EndTransmission]

Great work on those beasties. The Fishmen look quite creepy... I will have to grab some of those next time I get to do an order.

Nice work! I like how you used the GW spawn for another game.

In response to your blog post:
I've bought a LOT of SA miniatures to support Mike and Co., as well as all published rules and whatnot, but I'm kind of with you at this point: the models will need better quality casting (even if the sculpture quality remains the same) for me to break my wallet out. I'm OK with the middling sculpts, although some are indeed spectacular, but the fact that my "Flying Polyp" has  a bad casting misalignment, as do some of the Zombies that I bought, I really just don't want to drop money on them anymore.

If a 2nd Ed SA rulebook came out with everything in it, I'd still buy it knowing I had already bought it all once, but the models...I'd really rather buy Murch or Copplestone for the humans and RAFM for the inhumans. Money/Value proposition always gets in the way for me these days.

My cultists have gotten a new plaything (and bases):



Officially for my dungeon adventures but it will definitely see use in SA once I start playing. Still working on the agents and am having painter's block with them.

Anyway, more pictures and painted pieces on the blog:

EDIT: The Bag of Cthulhu has an never-ending supply of uses:

Nice work, sir.
Perfect for all aspiring cults!

Ah Hirst Arts, how I love thee. Really nice looking dungeon and altar you have there.

When I started building my Hirst walls, I found the stones lined up a bit more smoothly if you stagger the blocks so that they interlock at the corners and joints between runs. It also makes it more robust and less likely to fall over
