It is with trepidation for the sanity of all that we release the first codes in our latest range, Little Carinthia, a 15mm Eldritch Horror range nominally set in the 1930s in New England.
Our first releases are the horrifying Octopus-headed cultists who worship an evil cosmic being, the Octopus God, and (of course) the God himself.

This colossal being is so evil that it is beyond description, so we won't even try. Just trust us - he's evil. Depicted here in 15mm scale, the Octopus God is all resin, a kit coming in four pieces, head, wings and body. (Base not included.) He stands a towering 75mm tall to the top of his tentacled head, making him a terrifying threat in 28/32mm scale as well.
Summoning him to take dominion over this world are his devoted cultists, who wear hooded robes to cover their grotesque deformity, for they have been gifted with the visage of the God himself. The cultist models come with separate heads, and there are three interchangeable head options to choose from, which easily attach due to a sturdy join of the hooded head to the body. Each pack of four models comes with six heads - two unhooded, two partly hooded, two completely hooded (with just a wisp of revolting face-tentacle sticking out), so you don't have to use any one head if you don't care for it.

Most of the cultists act as sentries, and are well-armed with Mauser rifles which they are prepared to use with deadly accuracy to further the cause of the slithering almighty.

A select few especially depraved devotees act as bodyguards of the High Priest, defending him at close quarters with tridents ensorcelled with toxic cosmic sludge. The priest himself holds his sacrificial dagger high, ready to dispatch one more soul to summon doom.
The second release dovetails mysteriously with the first - for just as the cult has begun its bizarre midnight rituals on the shoreline in the blighted town of Little Carinthia, so have the night skies been filled with what appear to be strangely colored shooting stars but which are actually Things From Beyond, too ghastly for words, plunging to earth and creeping, crawling or floating about, driving men mad, poisoning them with toxic fumes, or ripping them to shreds with claws or pincers.

Some of these Things From Beyond appear to be a mockery of human form.

Others are beyond what we can understand, except perhaps as Chaos Incarnate.
All of these new models are available now! They will be followed by at least one opposing faction of horrid creatures, as well as the forces of Order (or what passed as "Order" in Rhode Island in the 1930s).
Thanks to our own Spacejacker for painting the Octopus God Cult, and to Steve Dean for painting the Things from Beyond.
