Cthulhu: Death May Die Season 2 – Dimensional Shambler

Cthulhu: Death May Die Season 2 - Dimensional Shambler

March! We start this month’s models a little bit later than the start of the month with the Dimensional Shambler from CMON’s Cthulhu: Death May Die.

This thing sat on my painting desk for months – maybe a year(?) – as I stalled out on the blue crystals depicted in the artwork. It was seeing the thing on my desk constantly and a combination of Monster March and that “just fucking get it done and out of here” which eventually got me motivated enough to finish it off, and now I’m quite happy to have done so.

I’m still not super-happy with the blue crystals as they’re a bit discordant with the rest of the figure, but then I guess it’s a Lovecraftian creature, and it’s a board game model, so I’m just going to go with “good enough” and be happy with the fact that it being completed allows me to go and work on some other DMD monsters next instead of being cockblocked by this one.

I didn’t have any of my DMD Investigators handy for the scale shot (and Berkeley was busy!) so we have a pair of the CMON Night of the Living Dead models here instead,

As mentioned earlier, one of the community’s painting challenges that’s often out there is something called Monster March. It, rather unsurprisingly deals with the painting of Monsters during – get this – the month of March! It’s not offcially running this year, but much like Fembruary which is on a sort of hiatus, I’m happy to use anything I can to motivate me to finish specific models!

 

January-February 2025 (Duo)Monthly Round-Up

Round-Up time! Today we have the combined post for both January and February as I’ve had a few hiccups when it comes to posting my stuff lately.

Despite my best intentions, I didn’t get much of my “large” terrain done over the summer months – I did finally manage to finish the Forge World Tyranid Capillary Towers after many years sitting unstarted and then several years sitting part-painted – but none of the others!

I did manage to do my usual and get a whole bunch of scatter terrain painted – particularly a bunch of crate barricades and picket fences from Mantic’s TerrainCrate, as well as some 3d printed barrels and more bloody treasure chests.

Overall, it was still a productive period of time for hobbying, even though I wasn’t really posting.

What did I get done?

3 Tyranid Spikes, 5 Ms.Marvels, 12  Zombicide Survivors & Zombivors, 4 Mars Attacks models, 6 barrel stacks, 46 chests, 14 Mantic crate barricades and 30 Mantic picket fences for a total of 120 pieces. A big number overall, but a huge proportion there is of course bits of smaller, scatter terrain – even though all of the figures there are “hero” figures.

And – oh yeah – all this crap counts towards Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 24-25 as well! Now I’ll take a couple of days to catch my breath to give my poor typing fingers a rest, and then get onto posting March’s Models shortly…
