Pulp/Gothic/Eldritch Horror Update

In this round of catch up, I present all the horror figures and investigators I've finished since April.  Rapidly becoming one of the largest facets of my collection to be honest. I've also lumped steampunk stuff in here as well.

Snow Troll from Heresy Miniatures. A lovely resin model that was a lot of fun to paint. I may at some point go back and add blood effects to him and the base once he's fought some battles.




Theoretically this is Lord Curr from the Northstar range produced for In Her Majesties Name. I will obviously be adding him to my steampunk/Gothic horror collection. 



A couple of Cossack monster hunters. The archer is from Privateer Press, and I "think" the other one is from Bears Head but I may be forgetting.



This investigator is a mystery figure I got with some stuff off ebay. She'll make a good explorer/occultist.


Gothic horror fellow I I believe is from West Wind. 


Old RAFM Ghouls for the Call of Cthulhu range, sculpted by Bob Murch I believe. Love how they turned out. 


Brigade Games Lighthouse Keepers from their latest Cthulhu kickstarter. They'll go well with my Sarissa Lighthouse!


Egyptian Cultists. Who doesn't need cultists by the bucket load?! These ones I attempted to do with an inverted ankh on their chests. 

                                      



Dracula's resting place. Sculpted and sold by Bob Murch at Pulp Figures.


Bears Head Minis Ghoul. This things right around 54-60mm I think. Painted up a treat.



A very angry mummy from Northstar.



These two ladies are from Bob Murch's Pulp Figures. They were very easy to paint. His sculpting style is very conducive to the painter. 



Re-purposed Konflict 47 werewolves painted up as just normal werewolves vs Weird WW2 ones. Very happy with how their fur turned out.



I really need to actually get all this stuff to the table. Halloween was the perfect chance but I was busy sorting out candy for all the little ghosts and spiderman's running around the neighborhood. Soon. Watch this space.

Painting Shadows of Brimstone (1)

I've decided that having owned Shadows of Brimstone: City of the Ancients for damn near 6 years now and never having played it because I hadn't painted the figures yet had to be remedied. So, I've gotten a start on them. All the other figures are primed and on the paint desk - but here's what I've finished so far - 


12 Tentacles. These took a lot longer to do than expected. I may have gone a bit overboard.
 

3x Ghosts. Was really going for an ethereal look with these and I think I got it right.


6x Hero Characters. I think my faves are the Dancing Girl and the Bandito. These figures will also see service in various old west rulesets I have and I think will fit right in for Dracula's America as well.

Various Historicals and Terrain Catch-Up

These various projects have been finished between April and October of 2021. 

First up we have 8x Perry Miniatures British Light Infantry. These are plastic and were a bit of a pain to paint if I'm being honest. Detail was a bit shallow in places. I think they turned out ok though. Will be using them for both The French & Indian War and the American War of Independence using Muskets & Tomahawks, Songs of Drums and Tomahawks, and Sharp Practice. With Zeal & Bayonets!




28mm Reaper Campfire. Useful for pretty much any period or genre you could ever think of.


15mm Blue Moon Cabin. Will work for both North America or Eastern Europe. Will be used mostly for Chain of Command and Silver Bayonet.



15mm JR Miniatures Destroyed Factory. Have had this beast for about 8yrs and finally decided to paint it up. Measures approx. 18"x11.5". The chimney is about 5.5" tall. Very useful for my 15mm WW2 games.





6mm Church. The church is actually a re-purposed Thomas Kincaid knicknack. Will be used for my various 6mm projects including ACW and WW1.


A few 20mm soft plastic Afghan Insurgents. I've got a host of rulesets to try for modern Iraq/Afghanistan. More to come in future.



28mm Renedra Early Medieval/Dark Ages building. To be fair could probably be used through the 18th Century if pushed.



28mm Warlord WW2 US Infantry. I will be honestly using these for Horror gaming such as Achtung Cthulhu etc. as my only WW2 in 28mm I have is Pacific theater.



Another 28mm Renedra Early Medieval/Dark Ages building.



28mm Cabbage Patch.


Absolutely gorgeous and fun to paint 28mm Bad Squiddo Female Viking Archers!



20mm or 1/72 ESCI and Airfix US Army Skirmishers for my ACW Sharp Practice project. 


28mm Sign Stones.


15mm Dutch Garage.



28mm Wargames Foundry Pirates. Still have a metric shedload of these to do but am kind of doing them in bits and pieces whenever I get the hankering for some swashbuckling painting.


10/15mm Destroyed Bridge. May at some point add water effects.


 

As you can see, loads of stuff finished and this is only 1 of approx 10 catch up posts I've got in drafts.
