Worth every penny. Reaper just guaranteed another sale if they ever do another one of these.

Guys.. guys. Cthulhu is FUCKING HUGE. IT'S HUUUUUGE. There is a just piles and piles of guys in there. Man alive. If I was into minis like some of you cats, I would be dying. I am not that into them and even I admit this is crazy. Summer project to paint some of these guys with the kids. Wild. Loving it.

It's crazy. Kaladrax's base is half as tall as Cthulhu. And you're right, Cthulhu is HUGE.

Battle Report:

The miniatures cut well, and can be formed (read:defuckingwarped) in hot tap water. They take both craft and vallejo paints well sans primer. That said, the translucent haunts suck ass. They require brush on primer or a coat of cleat matte acrylic to have paint stick, Not happy about that part,

Why paint any of the translucent ones at all?

My Reaper order is arriving next week. I fully expect that my wife will have torn through the packaging by the time I get home. We are both excited about the Clockwork Dragon.

Shadowing. If you put inks in the deep spots, they don't look like such total shit. Same with highlighting.

OH....one more update:

WASH WASH WASH these models in warm, soapy water and make sure you do a good job. I'm even tempted to break out an old teethbrush (only in West Virginia is it a toothbrush) and scrub them. Tried to paint the Nova Corp soldiers as Vault Security last night and the paint rolled off a few as I didn't wash them adequately (which is surprising as I put them in a tupperware container loaded with soap and water and shook the balls off them).

So, be now warned.


EDIT:



See the difference?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I need winter to come so I can potentially finish my Dreadfleet. Or maybe just start a few more. The weather has been reasonably good here so I'm outside 90% of my free time.
