Cthulhu: Death May Die - Hunting Horrors

Another pair of models finished in January that have been on the table for waaaaay too long – the pair of Hunting Horrors from the Cthulhu: Death May Die “Season 1” Core set.

I’ve been alternating between doing a little bit at a time on these with just letting them sit on the desk and ignoring them for the longest time – close to a year now, so now in January 2026 I’ve finally gotten the damned things completed. I had a brief little run of trying to get the stuff on painting handles finished (there’s still a bunch of them to get done) so I can make some space for a newer set of models, and these were amongst the ones I’ve actually managed to complete. they also very much count towards Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26,

Marvel United: Symbiote Spider-Man

It’s been a good while since I finished a Marvel United figure, and this one had been on the painting desk for some time.

This figure has a bit of an issue with leaning. In that it’s leaning forward at a ridiculous angle for any kind of miniature, as you can see in these photos.

I guess I could dunk his upper half in boiling water in an attempt to reset the model with heat – the issue with that of course is the risk of completely screwing up the model as well as the paintjob. It’s the sort of thing I should have done before painting, if I’d noticed it at the time.

Still, looking at his shins and calves there, they’d end up with quite the weird bent-back shape if I did that as well – so I’m not entirely sure what to do about that. Quite annoying, since aside from the weird angle he’s perched on, I’m not at all unhappy with the paintjob on this figure.

On the other hand, this photo shows a bit more of how the model will look from the “above” angle that you’d see when playing with the figure in the game. Not exactly endraring, is it? Either way, this figure counts towards Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26, and is the first in my little “Men in Black” series of models for January. Unusually for me, the next two posts will NOT be the Marvel Zombies and Crisis Protocol versions of this version of Spider-Man.
