Wow… I’ve been slacking off a bit - over TWO WEEKS since my last post!?
A couple odd items this morning
– all Reaper Miniatures
Bones figures …
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
4 Shoggoths – I picked these up
to use with Innsmouth
Escape - a boardgame from Twilight
Creations that I picked up a while ago but only
recently got around to sitting down and playing it. In it there are
Deep Ones of four different colours (so up to four of your bestest friends can
control Deep Ones chasing your hapless hero who is trying to run around
Innsmouth and round up some of his/her Miscatonic college buddies before
escaping from the wretched city…). Each Deep One player is supposed to be able
to summon a Shoggoth – but instead of supplying a miniature for this there is
only a cardboard counter… I noticed that there were Shoggoths in the Reaper
Miniatures Bones collection… so I picked up four and painted one each
in the colours of the four colours of the Deep Ones provided in the game.
While I was at it, I painted a
Bones Halfling.
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:

The Shoggoths are great- far better than the card counter you get (always felt that they were a let down in the overall production of the game).
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Thanks Pete. I thought it was odd that they only included card counters for the Shoggoths. I realize they don't need as many of them as the Deep Ones and making additional moulds adds cost... but there's only ONE of the Student-protagonist figure in each box, so...
DeleteI think I have that Reaper figure...his sword looks a lot like the power sword He-Man carries in the original cartoon. Or are my eyes playing tricks?
ReplyDeleteit could be... Reaper does like to make their weapons impossibly big and cartoony...
