I haven’t gotten a ton of models painted since my procedure in the middle of the month, but I have spent some time doing more work on getting stuff done. These five Ghouls from Cthulhu: Death May Die were the first things that I managed to get painted afterwards, Investigators painted for the month.

I mean, they’re pretty simple/straightforward models. They did have some shockingly-placed mold lines that I did my best to scrape away, and while I do appreciate Adrian Smith’s art, this design is pretty meh. Like, it’s totally fine, but not much else. So the bar for these was across-the-board, pretty much in the middle.

So while I do like to challenge and stretch myself on occasion, I also very much enjoy low-stakes, low-stress models that simply need to look good enough on the tabletop. These are very much that! They were a good way to ease back into painting, and so on that basis alone they more than made up for any shortcomings.

And to copypasta myself – Because the Cthulhu Mythos are all about World-Ending situations (in the end), I’ll nominate these for Dave Stone’s Apocalypse Me challenge, with a few more posts yet to come in that vein… (well, one for sure, perhaps a second depending on Dave’s judgement…)
