More Cthulhu: Death May Die this week.

I took the photos before I cleaned up the base - sorry about that.

Servants of the deep

 

Ernest Hemingway

Albert Einstein

 

Disciples of Hastur

I'm really bad at painting yellow... :-(

Hastur

 

OK, so Hastur is really big (see the 28 mm fig next to him). I'm going to count this one as a vehicle instead of a mounted figure.

Points Earned

11 @ 28 mm figures:  55

1 @ 28 mm Monster (counting as mounted figure): 10

1 @ 28 mm Monster (counting as vehicle): 20

Weekly total:  85

Planning for the future...

Here's a comparison of Flames of War (15mm) and Time of Legends (18mm) figures.  Although clearly the 18mm figures are taller than 15 mm, they are definitely not 20 mm.  Our system awards 2 points for 15 mm soldier, 4 points for a 20 mm soldier.  The Time of Legends models don't warrant 4 points.  But I'm wondering if these guys should be worth 2 or 3 points each?

Painting Challenge, Week ending December 21, 2019

This week I was working on minis from Cthulhu: Death May Die.  This is a board game, and flocking doesn't make sense for the game.  By the way, the painting standard I am going for is "adequate".

First were a pair of fire vampires.  There's a 28mm human in there to get a sense of scale.  These guys are 50 mm tall (to the top of the hood, 60 mm to the top of the flames).

Fire Vampires

Next was a shoggoth. Not sure how to measure the height of this thing - to the highest extent of that tentacle (75 mm)?  To the top of the main body mass (48 mm)?  There's a 28 mm figure in the right picture to give a sense of scale.

Shoggoth

Then we have a couple of investigators (28 mm).

Points for the week:

2 @ 28 mm foot unit:  2x5 = 10

3 @ 28 mm monsters:  I'm going to treat these like mounted figures or artillery, so 3x10 = 30

Weekly total:  40

Campaign total:  40
