Bolt Action Cult of Hastur (Tell me, have you seen the Yellow Sign?)

[Glenn]

continually impressed by this stuff.....its awesome and would make such an eye catching and fun army to play against with any ww2 or www2 stuff....i just love the attention to detial and the wild ride through so many different collections, companies and styles...its brilliant, thanks for sharing and inspiring 

[Sinewgrab]

Thanks! This is the first 'army' I have really been able to focus on in about a year - I need to get back to my Grymn and finish them up - but the idea of painting a whole lot of green or brown just makes my skin crawl.

Group photo!  I have a few oddball figures still left to paint and add in, but this is everything I need for now.



Added a few more grunts from the Monsterpocalypse range.  I figure I can call them SMG wielding Veterans or Guerrilla fighters (depending on if I use the partisan or the Romanian list) to show their tough Otherworldly badness.



And this guy is going to be one of my Spotters.



I still want to pick up a few other things to add in - some Romanian tanks like the TACAM R-2, and a few artillery pieces rather than just anti-tank guns.  Maybe an L6/40 for when I use them as Partisans - Recce vehicles are pretty handy.  Also, I am looking for any excuse to throw money to smaller companies like Mad Bob and Company B, who do those less well-known vehicles.

[Wyrmalla]

Bah, why buy artillery pieces and recce vehicles when you could have spitting and giant dog like creatures?

...Um, though after a point you'd wind up with just a 40K Tyranids army.

That's a lot of work which's gone into all of that. How many points are you sitting at now?

[Sinewgrab]

I can drop 1k easily in the standard Reinforced Platoon selector, and 2k if we go balls out for the Tank War Armoured Platoon selector.  The main reason I am looking at the artillery and recce vehicles is to keep it from making one of my cohorts go bonkers.  He would really rather keep our Bolt Action battles historically accurate, and this army is hard enough for him to swallow without having too many monsters walking about as tanks and such.

[Sinewgrab]

And so, I made some bocage.  About 30' or so.











Mostly 6" and 3" sections, with the occasional 9" and 12" piece.  Still need to build a few gates.

Loved it! 

As traditional Hast** servants, Byakhee are great as air support!

  this  stuff looks fabulous  ...i tried to find some of the monsterpocalypse figs for the same kind of use but everyone wanted too much

[The_Beast]

Damn, Sinew ol' bean, do I have to start stalking your 'history' to see how far your awesome talent is spread?

Impressive all, mind you, but the one that most probably don't care is how much I like the Mysterio conversion. I'm sure it seemed obvious, but the white, swirling smoke turned to seaping other world horror... *woof*

I've old Clix at hand oh plenty if silly enough attempt to follow, but I really hadn't thought of Monsterpocalypse in just this fashion.

I found a few good spots that were pretty darn cheap - and I also bought out my FLGS when they decided to put the boxes out at 75% off.

I first started using Monsterpoc stuff for Geckos in Fallout - and you can find me in all kinds of places.  Pikes and Flouncy Shirts, Post-Apoc, Future Wars, Weird Wars, Medieval, Fantasy, VSF, Pulp, Colonial, Cthulhu, Superhero...

Loved it!

I have yet to find a Byakhee model I like.  More likely to go Mi-Go.

Huh.  Maybe if I can get a better look at one of those - photos seem to be scarce.

In the meantime, enjoy some photos of the tables I have been putting together for our weekly Bolt Action games - please forgive my gaming group for their unpainted/primed stuff.  I am the most militant painter - the others have a bit of that Warhammer40k attitude of built is good enough combined with children and stressful jobs.

I don't have children, just a wife and two cats, so my time is more flexible.

[dinohunterpoa]

Great table! 

[Sinewgrab]

Thanks.  I either own or have painted everything on either of those setups.  Both of the gentlemen playing in these photos have had me paint their terrain over the years, such that they had to start marking their pieces on the bottom, or I accidentally take it home.  My style is fairly distinct...

[dinohunterpoa]

What about converting that "yellow tank" of yours into something more... Mythos-like?



 

[rabenga]

Very nurgley.    My favorite!
