Allow me to present to the honourable members of this forum my first pictures:

Two Cthulhu-Priests,



and their little brood:



... waiting for some action.

Looks good, but the pics are a little unfocused. Did you hold the camera by hand?

Nice, I like the purple robes.  :)

What are the squid-head minis, please?

Always use a tripod - they are quite inexpensive and ups the quality by a high percentage  :)

And always use several lamps, with the flash switched off.

Are the squidheads D&D-related?

Thanks for the tips. I will try to find a cheap tripod and a more useful lamp.

The squigheads are Bathalians from Reaper:

02116 : Cthal T'Chuk

02568 : D'Kuhl M'Broon Bathalian

The worms are from Heresy:

HM021 GIANT SLUGS

YES, yes, by all means, go buy miniatures before more companies snuff it !!

Reaper has a lot of nice models, and do not forget to look at their Chronoscope range, too!!

I have the one on the right - the one striking his tentacles in a very evil mastermind fashion! I remember thinking he would look great as a Cthulhu Priest but didn´t even remember the maker. Nor did I know that there were other poses of this miniature. Great take on them by the way. I´ll see if I can find my example and post it up so that we can start a Squid-head thread ;)

Do that! Would like to see your model!

I promise to get better equipment and work on better photos. Next week I should be able to post them.
