"New 15mm sculpts coming along - Cthulhuesque Monstrosities" Topic

Making some progress on new 15mm sculpts for an up coming HoTT campaign set in semi-historical 18th Century Europe.

Primarily a Horse and Musket / SYW style campaign … with a few special characters thrown in.

One of the not so historical aspects of this semi-historical campaign is that at some point, someone has opened the gates of Hell and let in a trickle of nasties …. including Cthulhuesque Monstrosity hordes and lurkers.

Not a huge problem – Nothing that cant be dealt with by a good disciplined volley and a charge with cold steel !

Still … its something that needs to be kept on top of, as this sort of thing can get a little out of hand if left unchecked for too long.

Initial shots of the sculpts in progress. Lots more to come. Using hot-bake sculpy for these one-off designs, will be doing some greens and greenstuff mods to other figures shortly as well.

Lots more to come later – hope you like the preview shots :)

NICE!

ooohh this looks like it's gonna be good!!!!

Exciting project, promising sculpts!
(even if not in 28mm… sob)

Btw, with so diverse directions of interest, you should label your posts: don't be mistaken by the 'diary' approach of some blogs, those such as yours become a library of references, and labels are so handy when browsing archives.

Of course we stay tuned for more….
Does it come from by browser, or comments are not allowed on your blog?
EDITED; OK, my mistake, the background and sculpts are on the 'home page', not part of a post.

Yet I maintain my suggestion for 'labels' -specially for this new topic

Thanks for your enthusiastic suggestions .. much appreciated. Ah – I see what you mean by comments .. blogger allows no comments on a page, only comments on articles. Thats cool, there will be articles on this soon enough which will allow comments.

The blog itself is pretty new, so its just getting enough content now where its getting to the point of needing better indexing,

I will have to take some time soon and go and stick labels on everything to help with finding articles on there. Looking at your site, the labels are extremely well organised, so I will take that as a standard to work from. ie – the labels need to be well thought out and applied consistently in order to be useful. Again your blog is a good example of well organised labels.

One thing I have tried so far is to create index pages at the top – so all 'Regiment of the Day' articles are grouped onto 1 page, and setup as links on the various OOBs. Same with Scenery of the Day and Tips of the Day. With the HoTT articles, I will index them off a single HoTT page.

In addition to that, labels and tags will help as well.

Will be a few weeks till the first game .. I have figures on order from a number of sources, and they will take a week or 2 to get here, plus get painted up and all that.

Thanks for your interest. Im finding that whilst its great fun to paint up armies and have games (either solo or with friends) … its double the fun if others can 'join in' and see what you are doing from the other side of the world. Sharing these crazy stories puts a huge smile on my face every time :)

Next time you'd really Xpost on the '18th C. Discussion' messages board: people there are rather tolerant to 'Lacepulp'; and on the 'Horror' one, they already read about an adaptation of 'Strange Aeons' to the 18th C. TMP link
and a devoted boardgame (with minis) is announced:

Ah – thats glorious ! Lacepulp carnavale – excellent.

Thanks for the tip on xposting, I will keep that in mind.
