Hi Everyone, Hope all are well. During the lockdown I have painted up three HOTT armies based around the Cthulhu Mythos. This has been a lot of fun as the sheer range of monsters and strange creatures make these armies rather exotic. The Army of The Dreamlands
The Army of The Deep Ones
The Army of The Outer Gods
The figures come from a range of sources and are mostly RAFM, Grenadier, Reaper and EM4 as well as Prince August home casts for the cultists. I have also used my own Deep Ones. All are from 25mm ranges. They were a real blast to paint. One of the things I needed to do was to figure out what element type the figures could be. With Cthulhu stories I figure you should be able to deploy Gods. I may do a human army as well, but I think they would have a hard time against these armies so I think I will battle them against each other for now. Hope you like them. Comments and crits welcome and there are a few more pictures over on the blog. link |

That would be a fun army to play…if you didn't lose your sanity first! |

Awesome stuff. They look great. |

Not a big reader of Cthulhu, yet I think you definitively will need a human army to battle those amazing armies! Demon-Hunter-Hero, civillians as horde (ha, this time it's the other way round), army-men as shooters, a priest, early tank as behemoth, police-dogs… endless possibilities  |

They will soon learn to fear humanity, the true monsters. I agree with Olivero- easy to make a themed human force. Trained police/military slot right in as shooters. Angry villagers, local tribesmen, etc. rise up as hordes. Beasts are hunting dogs/K9s/etc. This was the rise of the warmachine- field guns for artillery, armored vehicles as behemoth. And the intrepid protagonist is surely a Hero. |

I think for a human army, priests and angels would be a must. |

Hi Everyone, Thank you all for your appreciation. I will look around for suitable human forces, having to decide what era they could be from. I like the ideas you guys have. |
