Resin scenic stuff for Horror and Pulp games

Having started to paint my Pulp figures up, I decided that I really ought to give them some scenic items to explore and fight over.

These items are all from Fenris Games. They are very much suited to Cthulhu-themed Eldritch Horror games, but might also serve in other settings. The Outer Gods and Great Old Ones may well have had a presence in Felstad, for example.

First, here are two monoliths and a dais or altar with a statue (or is it?) of some unknown undersea horror, together with an intrepid 28mm Copplestone archaeologist to give a sense of scale. I've given the monolith on the left a green tinge to represent the remains of paint that once covered the carvings.



Here is another view of the strange altar, which has clearly emerged from the depths, seeing as it is covered in limpets. Of course, it might also be inside a coastal cave somewhere near the cursed seaport of Innsmouth and only revealed at low tide.


Next, here is a Summoning Circle, again featuring the intrepid archaeologist. This is definitely the sort of thing that might be hidden in the woods on top of a hill somewhere in the wild country inland from Arkham, where the whipporwills call on those nights when the Moon is full and hooded figures chant in unknown languages to certain constellations in the night skies.


Here it is from above;


I've tried to give the impression that the central circle is made from some rare mineral, probably from a meteorite from outside our solar system. It is surrounded by blood-stained basins cut into the rocks and the skulls of sacrificial victims.

  1. Very tasty. Just from your comments it’s evident that your intrepid investigators are in for a rough time. I’d offer to give them a hand but unfortunately I have a prior engagement.

    1. A clear case of "Sorry, I'd absolutely love to come and explore the old Whateley house with you, but I'm washing my hair tonight".

  2. If I may ask, what is the source of the lady pulp figure? I'm actually looking for figures to convert into Galaxy Express 999 characters. Thanks in advance.

    1. She is a figure from the Mark Copplestone Back of Beyond range, one of four female archaeologists, available from North Star.
