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? 😀
