RAFM – Dark Young of Shub Niggurath – W.I.P

I finally got my hands on one of the really old RAFM Dark Young of Shub Niggurath miniature

the parts fit together horribly ( a thing i remembered from a few years back)

and most of the versions that people buildt didnt look that great to be honest. Most of the times the people leave the tentacles stuck together ( because it makes acting way more easy), allthough it just takes a knife to cut them apart and then you can bend them in any direction, thus making the miniature feel way more animated ! I seriusly dont get why people dont do this !

Also i used greenstuff to fix the huge strange looking gaps , that seperate the lower body part from the tenta…cly bits 🙂

I cant wait to find out how it looks painted

Strange Aeons – Tentacles from Toy Octopus & Gormiti – Deep Ones W.I.P

Yeah…its been a while i posted something.

But thats because i was working on this

and other Postapocalyptic Larp stuff

well whatever….. i finally started working on some Miniatures again after i got some kind of Octopus toy on a flea market

i basically just cut off the plastic tentacles , and now can paint them and use them for the upcoming stange Aeons second edition

The size perfectly fits the 28mm scale. Now i just have to paint them and build bases where they “grow ” out of the ground 😀

 

also i  bought some Gormiti toys for 50 Ct

they are kind of silly looking,but i think they can fir the “pulp” look of my ever growing army of Deep ones pretty effin well !

 

Cheers

Reaper Bones Cthulhu aka Godling Conversion

i decited to use Quickshader on this mini…even though there is a risk that it will react with the head….but i tested it again after priming the head with varnish and it seemed to work…so i guess it will dry and not stay sticky…..

Theres still a lot to do still….i have to paint the base…and use varnish to make some parts less shiny…..i think i will spraypaint the varnish on it but will tape up the parts that should stay shiny beforehand…..

did more work on my Reaper bones Cthulhu

you can see the conversions i made better now

Cheers 😉 😉 😉

Reaper bones Cthulhu WIP

I added more eyes,replaced the wings and changed the angle of the head

also i removed it from its original base and placed it on a bigger one

Asylum Escapee – Dreamblade Conversion/Repaint

 

Before

So ….yeah…another Dreamblade conversion/repaint

i had to replace the head with one of the mantic Ghoul heads…..and he really looks batshit insane now

i cant wait to use him in a game of Strange aeons…

I may go as far as writing my own scenario….The Threshold team has to escort this maniac fom one edge of the board to the other

while the Lurkers try to free him

Nightgaunt conversion

“But Carter preferred to look at them than at his captors, which were indeed shocking and uncouth black things with smooth, oily, whale-like surfaces, unpleasant horns that curved inward toward each other, bat wings whose beating made no sound, ugly prehensile paws, and barbed tails that lashed needlessly and disquietingly. And worst of all, they never spoke or laughed, and never smiled because they had no faces at all to smile with, but only a suggestive blankness where a face ought to be. All they ever did was clutch and fly and tickle; that was the way of night-gaunts.”

H.P. Lovecraft, Dream-Quest Of Unknown Kadath

 

This was a fun miniature to convert and paint

all in all it did not take much work and i am hugely impressed by the overall look. it may be a bit bigger then most people think nightghaunts to be , but i allways imagined it big enough to lift a human or a moonbeast off the ground, and having enough muscle to actually hold them, and lovecraft never comented on the size of a nightghaunt as far as i know 😀

also here is a progression picture

 

Reaper Gargoyle to Nightghaunt

I picked up a Reaper Bones Mini called ” Mortar the Gargoyle”

and thought it will make a great Nightghaunt ( as i dont like any of the models Available)

also the Reaper Bones Minis are great choices for converting!

So i removed the face, addet some horns from an old Khorne Champions head and addet a tail

It came together in a great way

Lovecraftian Deepone Seaslug Monster – Starwars Ng`Ok Repaint/Conversion

so i found this on ebay for about 2€

and i thought to myself ” that could make a great addition to my lovecraftian Minis

So i cut off the thing on the top…..removed a LOT of mould lines and fixed it up with some greenstuff

then i painted it….

and IT FITS IN BRILLIANTLY ! The new paintjob brings out the overall slimy and creepy look great….and the tentacle feet things look like they would work much better underwater

Goon and Zombie – Starwars Lando Calrissian repaint & Heroquest Zombie

I finished a random goon and another zombie

the Zombie is one of the old Heroquest zombies ( a model i wanted to paint FOR YEARS !)

and the goon is a Starwars miniature. it was lando Calrissian before i chopped off his head and replaced it with the head of a dreamblade miniature also i cut of the front of his blaster and addet a barrel to have him wield a gun

i mostly did the conversion because i bought the mini for under 1 € …i think 50 cents or so and wanted to see if the starwars mioniatures are high quality enough to do conversions

heres a “before” picture of the miniature
