fear of the unknown

recently the new "seasons" of Cthulhu: Death May Die board games came out and i was
screaming like a girl at a boy band concert.
making sure all my bills are paid and i was even able to drop some green on these.
i have been watching when these were coming out ever since it's kickstarter was
announced back around the end of 2022 beginning of 2023..ish.

season three is pretty much a revamped core set with everything new.
scenarios, monsters, more investigators, and even elder ones,
which i was excited about.
unlike season two expansion, season four comes with one elder one, Nyarlathotep!

and stupid me is thinking in the tiniest part in my head of purchasing all four boxes
again to have another set of figures to paint for some table-top pulp wargames or even
monsters to use in D&D.
before i even think about it,
i need to get ALL of my MotU miniatures painted, based, and completed.


the new rulebook explains several things in a clearer sense than the original one,
which is always a plus.
the artwork for the covers and boxes as usual are superb.

one of the new elder ones, Nyarlathotep.
in the season three box you get Tsathoggua and Azathoth,
with one elder one expansion box sold separately, Ithaqua the Wind-Walker,
which I haven't gotten yet.


the D&D group got together and we had a downtime gaming session,
and i introduced them to Death May Die.
the first game we played we used the new Tsathoggua but we lost within our first turn
so we redid the scenario with a different elder one.


chaos erupts across the gaming table.
a friend of mine from New Jersey was curious about the game so i took some pics of it,
he was unsure of getting into it based on how much gaming space you need for it.
it does eat up quite a bit of space on a fairly nice size kitchen table.


the second game we did, Rita picked to have Hastur to be the elder one.
the King in Yellow!


here's Chris just explaining his great scheme of whatever. haha.
at one point this man was rolling 7 dice to attack.
i was just happy with my four.


Hastur has appeared on the board.
all hell breaks loose.


when everyone went home Rita and i were going to play out the next scenario but it got late,
better for next time.

overall everyone grasped the rules quite well and had fun which was the most
important thing to me.

legion of undead

still plugging away at the mess of undead miniatures i still have. these skeletons are from the Undead Encounter pack from Mantic Games. i went with a simple color scheme, i didn't want to spend a lot of time on them. the so called leader of the group. with the simple color and shading these came out nicely. i might go back and retouch the eyes, maybe add a green glow or redness in the eye sockets. rest of the group. way these came out i might purchase another pack of these, add more to the more ranks. Beholder Zombie. this fellow was fun to paint. cannot wait to unleash this on my D&D group. (insert evil laugh here) Crawling Claws. wanted to make some low CR creatures for this weekend's game, and since the group is heading to a den of evil what better way than this. made from dismembered hands from an old GW zombie plastic set. last year i came across some board games called Dark World, and the miniatures were pretty cool to use elsewhere in my table top games. so i used t...

for the Lord of Wolf, for Russ!

ever since my last game of 40k Kill Team with my buddy Jayson, i've been thinking on a second team for the game. lots of ideas were swirling in my head. and i narrowed it down to the faction i always wanted ever since i first started playing 40k back in 2nd edition. the honorable and ferocious Space Wolves. with all the new material coming out for 9th edition and what has been out already i have to say i am disappointed on how much character the new Primaris space marines lack. i mean yeah there's the upgrade packs you could get but still there isn't much to separate one group of Primaris marines from another of a different chapter except shoulder pads. so deciding on this i went with the classic look of the Space Wolves. but with that also there is only a few units and not much i can use if i do a non-Primaris Kill Team. and with these marine i also tried the Citadel Colour Contrast paints. and i have to say i like them very much. very easy...
