Cthulhu: Death May Die – Borden & The Kid

Cthulhu: Death May Die Miniatures - Lizzie Borden & The Kid, Cthulhu Investigators

My next pair of Death May Die player investigator models feature none other than “Borden” – presumably based on Lizzie herself and “The Kid” – a terrifying supernatural psycho-child. As you may have noticed, both heroinies wear red dresses with patterns – but I ask you, dear reader – what really is a patterned red dress? They’re really the detail points of both models in a lot of ways, though I am happy with The Kid’s face and hair and Lizzie is my first successful attempt to paint full eyes with pupils behind eyeglasses – which you still can’t really see in these photos because of the angle of Lizzie’s head. I still don’t like having to paint OSL, but I wasn’t escaping it on this model, so…

With both of these dresses I attempted to follow the artwork which is why they’re different reds, though on reflection The Kid’s polka dots are a bit bigger on the model when compared to the art. Lizzie’s flower pattern was a bit of a bother in some ways, though it wasn’t too tricky once I just knuckled down and got to work on it. Anyway – another two of these models painted and I’m pretty happy with them. Not really models I would ever have thought I’d enjoy painting to be quite honest, but there you go…

Fellow painter & blogger – and solidly inspirational fellow, Wudugast suggested that he and I should try to paint at least a pair of these models each month – as he also has a copy of this game to work through – so here’s looking forward to seeing his work to keep me motivated on these so I don’t run out of steam as quickly as I often do on these things… Anyone else out there with a copy of Cthulhu: Death May Die who wants to join in on trying to get a pair of models painted each month? 😀

Today for the final post of March’s models, we have a pair of player character models from the Board Game Cthulhu: Death May Die. Sergeant Mario Braghieri & Lord Adam Benchley. “The Plan” was to get at least two models from this game painted every month, so naturally I started with two in the first month, and then only managed a single model in the second – which in this case was Sgt.Braghieri. I just completed the model I started alongside him – Lord Benchley on the weekend – and so into April.

Both of these models are pretty straightforward, and I did my best to copy the colour schemes of their artwork. These models are actually pretty pleasant to paint for the most part, being just “people in clothes” without being overly-laden with detail or extra elements. I’m hoping to get a couple of bonus investigators painted in April beyond just two as a bit of a catch-up and a kind of pallete cleanser from some of the other stuff I’m working on.

Anyway, see you in a couple of days for the monthly Round-Up!
