Cthulhu: Death May Die – S1 and S2 Investigators Complete!

Cthulhu: Death May Die - Season 1 and Season 2 Investigators

Firstly, I don’t know why even boxed board games now use the term “Season”. It’s not my fault! I wasn’t even there! It was Owen!

Regardless, my Cthulhu: Death May Die investigators from both the Season 1 and Season 2 boxed sets are finally complete, so I thought I’d show off a couple of group shots of the whole gang together.

It’s immensely satisfying to have finished even a sub-project like this for me, even with the couple of months delay when my painting paused recently.

With all of these figures being individuals, with no squads or zombie-versions or alter-egos or additional versions of any kind to paint, they were generally a lot easier to paint than many of the other models I’ve spent time on over the past few years.

As I guess is inevitable, some of the figures are better than others, and some of them were more enjoyable to paint than others. Even the worst of them do at least “spark joy” when looking at them, so I guess the time spent was worthwhile across the board here.

There’s a nice variety in these models in many ways, and CMON managed to split them 50-50 between male and female with a nice diversity of origin – more than two of these characters are from outside the U.S. – crazy I know!

Now all I need to do is paint up the baddies. Oh, and also the new Investigators I got in that other set that arrived recently…

Monthly Round-Up for March coming soon!

Marvel Zombies: Doctor Doom

Marvel Zombies: Doctor Doom

Doctor Doom makes a second appearance with today’s post as we draw March’s models to a close. This time we have the versions that came from the Marvel Zombies Kickstarter.

Marvel Zombies: Doctor Doom

Obviously, you can see that Doom comes in both Survivor form as well as Zombified. Not sure why he’s used bandages to fix up his armour here, but I guess they had to differentiate him in some way.

The living version was a pain in the arse to paint due to the bright wall RIGHT behind the bottom of his cloak. The way I eventually got around this was by heating up the figure from the ankles up, bending him forward, doing the brick painting and drybrushing, then laying in the base green on the cloak, before reheating it to bend him back to standing up straight.

Obviously, the Zombie version of Doom has a pretty messed up cloak. It’s a little hard to see here, but I added some buff into the final highlight on this version around the edges and tears, as well as some adding in some light scratching lines. Otherwise the painting on these two was all pretty much the same as on the Marvel United figure from my previous post.

The details on the book are somewhat engraved into the sculpt, though I’m not sure what the text was supposed to say, so I turned it into “Doom”.

Marvel Zombies: Doctor Doom, Marvel United: Doctor Doom

To finish up, a 3-shot of my trio of Dooms. I’m pretty happy with how all three of these came out in the end, and of course happy to have another Marvel character crossed off the “to-do” list across a couple of games. 🙂
