Hellcome aboard !

Welcome to this blog over my passion of collecting, constructing and painting miniatures and figures, for wargames, roleplay or showcase, including Warhammer 40K Tyranids, Chaos, Daemons, Cthulhu Mythos, and also various mechas like Gundam & Super Robots, etc...

Cthulhu

Samedi 17 janvier 2009
Le long awaited sequel to SOTA's Nightmares of Lovecraft is coming. Probably the second most known God from Lovecraft's pantheon is coming: Nyarlathotep.
This guy is supposed to have 1000 forms, so here's one described in the books, a titan tripod with a huge tentacle as a head.

But don't expect an affordable PVC figure, this is a premium resin statue with afew flexible parts, like the Ultra Cthulhu. It's 12" high and is priced in a 200-250 $ range.

Action-figure.com has posted pictures of the San Diego Comic Con 2008, where SOTA has unveiled new pictures of their upcoming Nightmares of Lovecraft, second serie. The previously shown Cthulhu is now painted and we have a tentacled thing, it could be a Dark Spawn of Shub Niggurath or a shoggoth, but 
probably Nyarlathotep, I mean one of his 1000 forms ;)

Some time ago, I've been blown away by SOTA's Nightmares of Lovecraft first Cthulhu...

But now, this is clearly a level higher, SOTA did even better : more than 4 kg, 33 cm high with a wingspan of 50 cm, a resin body with flexible tentacles, premium paint, and base, number 441 on a total number of 470 exemplars...
The design and details are awesome, you can feel the ancient evil and supreme intellect, malevolent and wise at the same time. You know it's a water creature due tu the squid tentacles on head and tail, and even as sex and fingers, the side snail shapes on the head, coral reefs on the back, scaly body.
The eleventh Cthulhu in my collection is definitely a masterpiece ! I'm really amazed to have it.

Now it's for sure : the Great Old One doesn't sleep in his sunken city of R'Lyeh anymore... he's coming to take over our poor world :)

And then, out of the box :

 

Ïa ! Ïa, Cthulhu F'thagn nagl !

We know a bit more about the Lovecraft things I had shown here and who are part of the new Monsterpocalypse game from Privateer Press. Now the colour pictures are released, and these monsters are part of a faction called "Lords of Cthul", summoned from another dimension by insane worshippers... I've seen this somewhere, but I wonder where  ;) ?
I'm more and more interested in this game mixing big monsters from outer space, super robots and Cthulhu :)
Still no information about prices. Release is expected for fall 2008, as a collectible miniatures game.

Thanks to my Japanese friend, I've grabbed some cheap plastic figures from Kaiju movies like Gamera and Godzilla. These miniatures, incorrectly called "Gashapons" by many people, have actually some good details and their own style.
Then, when I got them, I told myself :"Why not make a Kaiju-style Cthulhu, as if Cthulhu was in some Gamera or Godzilla show ?".

A few months later, as time was available, I could finish the monster : a mix of turtle, dinosaur, dragon, and of course tentacles, big claws and wings as any good Cthulhu should have :)

A tasty detail is the Predator - like mandibles on each side of the jaw. The tentacles and some extra claws are made with Procreate grey stuff, that was also used to fill the gaps.

Also, in the general scheme  of making a Cthulhu-themed tyranid army, this guy would make a nice Guard - star spawn. The paintscheme was actually the same as my latest tyranid hive tyrant and Hive Queen II.

There's the beast :



You can as usual find more pictures : 123, and 4 more ! RRRRRROOOOAAAAARRRR !
