Six female Pulp figures

These are all 28mm figures from Bad Squiddo;



Those of you who read this blog regularly will recognise that I've used the same setting as in my previous post. Well, what can I say? I already had the lightbox set up so why not take advantage of it? I did use a different Jon Hodgson backdrop, though.

These six will work for all kinds of Pulp games, including Eldritch Horror and also for VBCW. As usual, they are lovely clean casts and a joy to paint.

I've got a lot more stuff in varying degrees of completion, so it is now just a case of actually finishing them off and not giving in to starting other figures instead!

I've been quite busy painting

 And I've found time to finish things off and photograph them. Here are some fantasy things. First, a 28mm Bad Squiddo female Goblin Fighter;


I wanted her to have blazing red eyes, but at this level of close-up detail, they are absolutely incandescent with bloodlust. Still, she looks pretty good at normal size and she'll be a nice addition to my growing collection of fantasy figures.

Next up are some plastic 28mm figures, a mixture of Oathmark and Gripping Beast, representing all purpose NPCs, mule train hirelings and village toughs. First, two well-equipped hirelings for our long-running D&D campaign at the club;


These have leather armour in the form of long riding jerkins, helmets, square wooden shields and swords. I've given them names. The one in blue is Sigurd and the one in red is his cousin, Arnaulf.

They come with a motley crew of mule-train and camp guards, clearly recruited from some dull village where the height of excitement is chasing away gangs of thieving pixies.




These are all getting a run-out on Sunday, so I expect at least half of them will get killed off or chased away by a couple of bored Orcs while our heroic band of adventurers are wandering around some badly-lit tunnels.

By the pricking of my thumbs......

.... something wicked this way comes.


 It's a Shoggoth!

It is a big resin piece, around 7cm long, 4cm high and 5 cm wide from Fenris Games. It is a one piece cast with three optional metal tentacles, which I used because, when it comes down to it, who doesn't want a dreadful sanity-threatening, slithery, protoplasmic Horror with tentacles? The young Assassin, a Bad Squiddo Lucrezia Borgia mini is here to provide a sense of scale.

The backdrop is from a Jon Hodgson book and the flooring is from a Warbases dungeon tiles set.

I'm rather pleased with how this Thing came out. I finished the eyes and larger pustules with a lick of gloss varnish after spray varnishing the finished beastie in a matt finish.

Hopefully this Abomination might get some gameplay in the future.
