The new home of all things Grinning Skull!
For those who aren't familiar, Achtung! Cthulhu is the WW2 era combined with the mythos of HP Lovecraft and his contemparies. Up till now it's been focused on the RPG side of things, but news is 2014 will see the release of the skirmish version of the popular setting. I am a big fan of… Continue reading Crowdfunding Preview: Achtung! Cthulhu Skirmish game KS from Spartan Games!
Now this KS is the one I've been waiting for! Yes, it's the second Reaper Miniatures Bones 2 campaign over on Kickstarter. Having missed out on the last one, which believe me, I'm still kicking myself about. If you don't know, Reaper Bones miniatures are a cheaper alternative to their usual metal lines, made up… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Reaper Miniatures Bones II Kickstarter
Whilst taking some time, relaxing on my holiday, I just want to draw your attention to this great cthulhu-esque beastie from Pure Evil miniatures over on Kickstarter. It's a lovely gribbly monster that would be at home in many settings, and indeed many scales. A real bonus to the KS is the accompanying cultist figures… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: QU-SH-UG Pure Evil Miniatures Kickstarter
Today, although I have a few posts to make, I'm keeping it brief, if you haven't noticed (a bit of flu I'm afraid!) On to another great looking project is the new baby from Sandy Peterson (of Call of Cthulhu RPG fame) this time with a game called Cthulhu Wars, and as you an guess… Continue reading Crowdfunding Spotlight: Cthulhu Wars Kickstarter
I just thought I'd point out a few kickstarters I think are worthy of note, first is this great looking art zine, based on the works of HPL, "Puffed Shoggoths". As you know, I'm quite a mythos fan, I really love the idea of this one, dedicated to pieces of art with the distinctly dark… Continue reading Anyone up for “Puffed Shoggoths”?
From time to time I forget to mention stuff, and this is one of the times. Maybe it's a kind of dementia caused by something unseen, unholy and lurking in the recesses of m psyche...Like something certainly Lovecraftian as illustrated by this excellent KS I honestly forgot to blog about. You too can own a… Continue reading Cthulhu calling! Mythos Foundry Kickstarter!
Quite accidentally I came across something funny, the web is a strange,but informative place. It so happens that Cthulhu has an alternate version of himself, albeit in Walt Disney style, and a duck. The result is an entity called "Duckthulhu" If any of you are old enough to remember the cartoon "Darkwing Duck", a spin… Continue reading Quackers over Cthulhu, Disney style….
In the bag of Miniatures my wife bought for me from ebay, (bless her!!) as well as a stack of fantasy heroes and such were some ninja. What am I going to do with these? What about Doomsday cult thugee assassins? They are masked, dressed in dark colours and as we know, Ninja kick ass!… Continue reading 15mm Doomsday cult gains more followers, and assassins….
I thought I would post a couple of pics to show you my Cultists, originally they are from a historical manufacturer (donnington I think, but please correct me if I'm wrong) I have had them for quite a while in amongst my lead mountain so I reckon these will be the core of a new… Continue reading 15mm Doomsday cultists….
