from Gormiti Toy to Strange Aeons – Deep One – Finished

They look a bit silly, but overall fit in well with my pulp looking hordes of Innsmouth

they even look better when you have a Before/After paintjob compairsion

Deep One Hybrid Skull Evolution

vonmeer at Devientart did a great study on how the Innsmouthlook develops on the skulls of humans that id like to share

I dislike the overall look of Fishpeople as i find it not as terrifying as humans with fishy traits and as he put it way better as i could i just quote him here

“I personally find extreme cases of the “Innsmouth look” more fantasy and less horrific. The horror is in the subtle uncanny valley effect, and they could not keep this secret if they all had fish heads.

Plus at least 75%-80% are “normal humans” in Innsmouth with little deep one traits or none at all, that’s why the deep-ones have a covenant with them. To breed, but they all eventually leave…the humans keep breeding with humans after all, they only must bear one hybrid and that’s not anything romantic..

So my reference is for a hybrid, with heavy atavistic traits moving towards full deep-one. Some hybrids may stop in a intermediary stage and get an extreme case of the Innsmouth Look.

It’s just a photo manip and redraw of a Human Skull and that of a Wolf-Eel, based on images from Skulls Unlimited”

That fact is why i love the Deep one miniatures from Brigadegames so much !

the only thing i consider the Innsmouthlook to differ from normal humans is that the humans should have aspects of fishes/frogs while a few may look very mutated… Of course in a game as Strange Aeons there is a wider range of mutation to choose from so that you can use what you want….but fr normal Innsmouthfolk / Cultists , i wanted to use miniatures that do not resemble hideous Monsters but creepy humans instead

6 Deep one Hybrids

Another day …..another set of miniatures

MAN my Legions Innsmouthfolk are growing !

Five of them are Deep One Hybrids from Brigade Games and one ( the one raising his arms in the middle) is a Deep one Hybrid priest from Blind Beggar Miniatures

The Deep ones from Brigade games , in my opinion , are the best Hybrid miniatures available

i love the way the hunch on their backs are sculpted

for the skin tone i decited to go with the blue…ish , grey…ish look i already used for my other deepone hybrids

Masons Priest fits in with all the other Innsmouth hybrids very well…..allthough he looks a bit like Donkey Kong 😉

Brigades Priest miniature is sculpted beautifully ! ….I love the cthulhu statue he is holding up…….also he is wearing a silly hat

I had to paint this one wearing a yellow raincoat

This is the last one for now…. i still have to  paint 3 more though !!!

Sailors

i finished a new team of ” Threshold Agents”

now i have some Models that can fight off my hordes of Innsmouthfolk 😀
