If you are looking for motivation to paint, why not join our painting challenge http://www.druchii.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=76269

Look forward to seeing your work.

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!

Looking forward to seeing the photos.

Hail Cthulhu!

Dark Rider:

"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.

Group shot of my Witches with Assassin in foreground. Mainly showing the skin work I was aiming for.

[+] SPOILER

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!

[+] SPOILER

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?

Great skin tone and nice progress.

Looking good, but they are in need of some tentacles
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.

Some inspiration that might help from my Drow themed army

If you don't include this Cthulhu Idol somehow you're missing a trick!

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!
