Blickwither's Cthulhu Cult themed Delves PLOG

Post by Blickwither »

Right... I intend to use this to help me establish what needs doing and what the priorities are, as there's a lot I have that needs doing, and yet still more that hasn't even been bought yet!

So here's what I have so far...

Units in bold are priority units.

5 Dark Riders - Fully complete, based and all.
5 Dark Riders - Built, sprayed, basecoated
12 Darkshards - Fully complete, based and all.
30 Dreadspears - Shields needs added.
30 Corsairs - 10 constructed.
20 Witch Elves - Constructed, sprayed, basecoated, skin and flesh washes complete.
5 Doomfire Warlocks - still in box.
5 Doomfire Warlocks - still in box.
1 Kharybdis - Body and main head constructed.
1 Cold One Chariot - Constructed, awaiting spraying.
5 Cold One Knights - Unconstructed.
1 Black Dragon - Body constructed.
1 Dreadlord rider - Upper torso constructed.
1 Malekith rider - Upper toso constructed.
1 Supreme Sorceress rider]/b] - Still on sprue.
[b]1 Death Hag
- still on sprue.
1 Hellebron - still on sprue.
1 Assassin - Body fully painted. Cloak and face need detail and stuck together.
10 Shades - Need converting from Corsairs.
1 Lokir Fellheart - Still in blister pack.
1 Repeater Bolt Thrower - Still in box.

Still to get:

20 Wildwood Rangers (Executioners)
2nd Kharybdis
2nd Assassin
x2 Further repeater Bolt throwers

A Cthulhu themed army sounds great! start posting some photos and descriptions of what you are trying to achieve with each unit. I will be keen to see how it goes, I love Cthulhu!

Hail Cthulhu!

"Why, those aren't spears!" I hear you cry! No, indeed they are "cavalry broadswords". What are their rules? Well, funny you should ask that... they're strikingly similar to the spears for cavalry spears...



Darkshard. Yes, METAL CROSSBOWS. Because Cthulhu.

A finished witch. They have been described as looking like "sexy angry seaweed". Given its a Cthulhu themed army, I couldn't be happier with that description!

I now have 10 that are in the above condition, and just need some quick work done to the bases.

Coming along nicely.

Its good to see a radical colour scheme on the Witches. And who wouldn't want some sexy, angry seaweed? :P

Looking good, but they are in need of some tentacles :twisted:
Cthulhu wouldn't be the same without them!
Gills slits on their necks might be a go to, but I wouldn't do thick rubbery lips

Just been magnetising my first kharybdis so that's lots of nice tentacly sea monster goodness. Im thinking the "beastmaster" will be a cthulian priest converted from the empire wizards. Maybe some flagellant cultists accompanying him. The doomfire warlock hair is also suitably tentacly. The movement trays will have tentacles writhing over them.

It's hard for me to tell much about your models because the pictures look like they were taken underwater? From what I can see you're off to a pretty good start (though I'm not a fan of blue elves - maybe that's a Cthulu thing?). Keep sending us more pictures!
