Chthonian and Mi-Go
28mm scale
Drain you of your sanity
Face the thing that should not be
These two Mansions of Madness game figures depict a few of the sanity-draining horrors of the Lovecraftian mythos.
Chthonians are huge creatures that live deep in the Earth's crust, burrowing through rock and communicating telepathically. When they (rarely) emerge above ground, they resemble thick segmented worms with squid-like tentacled heads. They can control humans and other beings telepathically.
Mi-Go are fungal-insectoid alien beings, interstellar travelers that have established a base on the planet Pluto (which they call Yuggoth) to explore our solar system. They are scientifically advanced and are expert bioengineers and surgeons. The Mi-Go abduct and transport humans through space by removing their brain and placing it into a "brain cylinder", a device that maintains its life and consciousness and can be attached to sensors to allow sight, hearing and speech.
Cthulhu Swamp Cult Party Shack
15mm scale
I got me a car, it's as big as a Shoggoth
And we're headin' on down to the Cthulhu shack!
I got me a Chrysler, it can carry a ton
So hurry up and bring your Great Old One!
The Party Shack is made of coffee stir sticks and corrugated cardboard (and a spare LED)... great results! All miniatures are from Khurasan.
Scary as they should! And I have to say that the shack is really great, pretty creative!
ReplyDeleteThe shack was so much fun! Just fiddling around trying to make it look suitably dilapidated and abandoned. And the LED definitely kicked it up a notch 🤩. Thank you.
DeleteHey! Ithink I don't get what's going in with the blue stuff on the Mi-Go: it kind of reminds me of the very 1st tyranids ever depicted having facial tatoo-like brood markings.
ReplyDeleteThat could be ritual paintings as if it was part of their culture or unique subtle patterns on their skin much like fingerprints or how feathers on two apparently identically looking parrots can shine differently to their own sight so they recognise each other.
Most likely you didn't go that far overthrowing but it being kinda vague makes it so suggestive and genuinely adds a lot doing barely nothing.
It sells perfectly the illusion that there's more to it than you can actually grasp.
Sorry for being so extensive but again, minis take a good deal of time to finish so they well desevere more than just an 'awesome bruh' (by any means I'm disrespecting that).
Long time not writing here but somehow I still care. I just do not have enough willpower remaining in these late years.
Feels heart-warming to know you keep sharing your precious time and little treasures w/us.
Ty Ally!
Javi!!!!! 😁
DeleteFeel free to write as much as you want here. It's definitely better than 'awesome bruh' although I still appreciate those 🙂
It's not the best Mi-go figure I've ever seen, but it was definitely the cheapest. And it helped bump up my collection of Lovecraftian figures along with all the Other Mansions of Madness stuff I've been painting recently. As for my paint job, your comment about Tyranids is actually 🤔🤔🤔. I hadn't thought of that comparison.
