"Khurasan previews Andromeda Cult" Topic

The Cult of Andromeda is a cross-galactic movement to transform the galaxy, seen by many as a doom cult because its leader, the witch Andromeda, is able to tear the fabric of reality to summon beasts from another dimension. When they appear, that world goes silent forever. The cult considers this transformation inevitable and desirable, but of course most in our dimension would disagree.

Two of the factions most active in the cult are strange aliens, the Naga and the extra-galactic Thuloids. They will be the first codes released. Each will be in two sets, a set with blasters and a set with power halbards.

Here's a preview of the Naga with blasters:

And here are the Thuloids with power halbards:

As you can see, they are conversions of our popular Octopus God cultists, adding boots and changing the weaponry. The mauser rifles have been replaced with dark energy blasters, and the tridents with power halberds (which have incorporated into them a small blaster near the blade). We've had a dark energy heavy blaster made as well, as an all-new sculpt for the blaster pack. And of course the cobra-headed Nagas have a new head set.

Like the Octopus God Cultists, the heads are separate and there are six heads for each four (or five) models in the pack, allowing more pose variety.

Andromeda herself, in power armour and a cape, has been made and she rides into battle on her Cobra grav platform, a very imposing model indeed! The platform doubles as a grav weapons platform, the top-mounted dark energy cannon crewed by a cultist (a head pack will allow the dark energy cannoneer to be either a Naga or a Thuloid).

Thrall shocksquads will follow, a horrible admixture of human prisoner and machinery.

Naga and Thuloids may be released as early as tomorrow, as well as one of Andromeda's favourite summoned horrors, an enormous tentacled mass the mere sight of which is sufficient to drive most mortals completely mad.

Stay tuned! Thanks to our own Spacejacker for the splendid paint-ups.

A nice batch of expansions made off of existing product. All excellent miniatures in their own right. Grouped together with Chewks you could have quite the disturbing bunch of hooded ocean creature hooded cultists.

Whoops, forgot the tentacled mass. Tentacled masses do not like being forgotten!

Um, wow.

So it's safe to say the Khurasan summer break is over?

It's not over till the Planet 15 stuff is available again. We got an ETA on that yet?

I have older stock that is fiddly to turn into product. I am reorganizing that and it's going well but not done yet. Meanwhile if I get new product and it's salable right out of the box, I release it. That's what I did with the Felid jetbikes and space demon nymph hosts, and the winged parasachnids will be next.

Hoho!! I see these and immediately think inter-cult civil war ;)

These are awesome!
Thankyou Mr Khurasan, for your Pewtery goodness!

Ben.

Wish these were available as a 6mm range too ..

Well, moccifer, 6mm is not totally out of the question. I released the MDMS tanks in 6mm and they sold so-so, I'll see how the Nova Respublik vehicles sell in the same scale (they are next) and if they sell well, perhaps the Mekanoid dictator and the Federal vehicles!

Whatever to those large resin demon thingies? Are they still available?

Yay! Moar squiddy faces :D

like

very SLISHY 'tentacled' stuff!

Sgt DWW-btod

Beautiful!

Where would you find bases (as pictured) so they would match what's in the photo?

Definitely looking at picking these up but want the nicer bases you've shown.

Try renaissance ink, I think.

Will do and will keep an eye out for those squid-hedz :)

Hold on… I'm lost in madness.

Ahahahaaha.

That's ok sargonarhes, as long as your paypal account isn't.

Very cool. I like the not-Serpentmen with death-rays. The tentacled mass is fantastic,

Thats some great work your punching out Mr Khurasan, quick question a little off topic, do you have an ETA on the Mystery island hominids? when will these be avalible again? I need a pack … :)

They will be available again when the full site is restored, hopefully within a month or so.

Ok cool, thanks.

The bases are standard 20mm plastic slotta bases, and the Shoggoth is on a standard 50mm slotta base. I got mine from em-4 in the UK, but you should be able to find them very inexpensively online in the US.

They are textured with PVA glue and fine sand, drybrushed and with a little static grass to finish.

Did you just say the Nova Respublik vehicles are coming in 6mm?!!?
When?!?
…and can i have about 20 of each!!

How about the Silar? ;)

Ben.

Yes, NR is coming in 6mm scale.

Want, please let us know when we can buy.

Lee

Will try to get them up for sale this week.

While we have your attention here and since you mentioned Nova Respublik; are you going to come out with NR Infantry in 15mm soon.
Thanks
Joep

At the casters now, actually am going to bug them about it today.

15mm, alas…
At least the tentacles mass can be used with larger sized humans…

Tnanks for the update on the Nova Respublik figs.
Joep

Is there any update on when the Naga and these body variants for the Thuloids will be released?

Still waiting for the paintups of the balance of the cultists. Shouldn't be too much longer.

Oh – looking forward to 6mm NR releases next week if possible , I hope it doesn't put back the JTFB but if it does , it does . At least it is something else to look forward to .

Hmm. I figured the octopus god cultists were supposed to be humans wearing octopus masks. Not actual octopus headed critters. Silly me.

Could be another head swap to add to the mix.

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to getting these.
Have you considered doing some alternate human heads with cowls or releasing some human cultists for the Eldritch Horror line?

Yes human cultists would be nice!

Human cultists wearing gas masks have been made as well. There are also the Vilg, who were inspired by these chaps:

okay, those snake guys are just begging to show up in a doctor who game.

I have just been inspired – My own Ancient Race in the GZGVerse, the Hands Of Pnit, could well be played by this diverse clade of species. . . .

Human cultists…..yes. How about some threshold agents for the little carinthia liner

Looks like I need to charge up some extra PowerPacs(tm) for my eRifle, 'cuase it 'shor looks like Cultist season….

Wow just placed a good sized order for strange aeons in 15mm.
Can't wait for human/ gas mask cultists…was planning on making some with the octopus guys and GZG heads….maybe I'll wait.
Jon, any plans on some adventurer types with 1920 period weapons….for now using some of shepartons well dressed gangsters

"Human cultists wearing gas masks" = awesome.

Maybe instead of converting human cultists, we should work on converting the Thuloids with the Deep Ones to make some robed Deep Ones. Unless those are in the works too?

How different would that be from the nagas really?

Any news on these guys yet?

Still waiting for the last paintups -- that's what happens when your painter moves to a different hemisphere.

I am eager to see the Vilg.

Hooked creatures of all sorts are good for various genres – Post-apocalyptic, scifi, horror, even superheroes.

Whatever happened to the NAGA ??
