Cthulhu: Death May Die – Hunting Horrors

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,

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…
