Well I started to make the rest of my army cthulhu. It is to have Cthulhu, a star spawn, 3 shaggoths, 12 deepones, 2 units of 10 cultists, and 3 hunting horrors.

I have a lot of cultists put together for the most part, but most are lacking some pieces so here are the 2 group srgs. and an extra, pre-GS. They will be using horror rules.

(edit other cultist at bottom)

Lastly here is a deepone commander pre-GS. Still need to make some sort of banner and musician for the squad. They will count as plague bearers.

So far I have made all three shoggoths, but two require some ink glaze to show defininition. They will be using the Plaguerider rules in WHFB.

I\'m intrigued.

I\'m not up to speed on all things Lovecraftian though...The Shoggoth is a vat of green jell-o?

The cultists look very cool, especially the first.
I really like the look of the deep one commander as well.

Keep us posted, these are interesting.:cool:

Go with the insignia... Dunno, mark of the Yellow King or some such... should do the trick.
Love the shaggoth, how\'d you do it? The cultists are nice as well, but I feel the deep ones are a bit too skinny. I always imagined them as bulky, shambling things... (as long as on land, anyway.)
Great job, keep it up!

I don\'t think they have to be green.
Shoggoth were slaves created by old ones.
They are shapeless blobs that can become harder than steel and form any shape.
Now that the old ones have gone, they just mainly shamble around in caves eating blind penguins.

If thats the case I am relatively sure I have a Shoggoth living in my refrigerator...

Looking great Dogfender...I\'ve become a bit of a Cthulhu and Lovecraft fan since I\'ve last looked at these.

Can\'t wait to see your deepones...

;)

Looks like I\'m using Bretonnian peasants for the mutants in my LatD army :)

Can I start talking backwards now?

nice idea, I must say.

Since it\'s an army of mutating and mutated monstruosities (burn the heretics!!!) have you considered to use some undead bits to add deatil to your self sculpted monsters?

There\'s a really nice drawing in the GW Beast of chaos army book, representing the collpase of the polar gates and the mutations it provoked in the near creatures that were exposed for the first time to the warp power and there\'s a beastmen (or something) whose spine is leaping out from his body-you could use some plastic charios elements (they have long spines of ancient monsters as part of the chariot) to make one of your slymy monsters mutating (or spitting out the remains of it\'s last meal)...Just an idea:)
