After much deliberation of where to start with my Empire of the Dead miniatures, I painfully decided to put the Bedlam Brotherhood to the side and decided to finish what I already had. First up the Supernatural Branch and Lycaons. Here are the first two Requiem models I painted up.
I am testing out my new camera phone after getting my old one stolen (the full story here) to see how good the photos turn out for miniatures. Not so bad. Although the wooden background ain't so exciting, I should get terrain one of these days.
I also got round to finishing off these two detectives form the west wind vampire wars range.

My plan for now is to paint up first and foremost Uncle Thulu. I was thinking to myself, the only thing that makes these guys supernatural is their, admittedly pretty awesome, guns. So I thought to spice them up a bit Detective Inspector Uncle Thulu would make a great leader for the party. What is Thulu's motives? We will find out in a future Supernatural Branch post!
That's some nice painting. I can't wait to learn the Uncles motives.
ReplyDeleteCheers. I hope the story lives up to expectations...
DeleteGreat work Steve. Bring on the Cthulu. That dude has some serious cool! Hard not to play EOTD tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteAgreed but I am sure Arkham Horror will be good. Appropriately related to Uncle Thulu. It will be nice to kick things off on Thursday with a 1v1 game. My faction is looking A-OK. Although it has 9 members which is quite a lot more than usual, it's just I wanted to fit in the infernium hound.
DeleteNice job Steve. Likewise I loved the idea of Uncle Thulu. I have never done any Cthulhu gaming nor read any of the Lovecraft novels but am certainly aware of what he as about, and seeing 'Thulu available in EotD is a great touch... Perhaps he could also work as a basis for a Darkfire type faction- Thulu as the leader and robed cultists as the members?
ReplyDeleteI have read a few of the novels/short stories. They can be a bit dry but have a certain charm. One I quite enjoyed was about a doctor who reanimated corpses with a serum he made. Then he found that if a limb (or head) was detached it would also reanimate despite the serum being injected into the body! Admittedly it probably is more thematic having Uncle Thulu in a Darkfire club with robed cultist. Then again Cthulhu would never have been a spunky gentlemanly like figure hanging out with his mates.
DeleteThey look great Steve. I think "shotgun/sideburns guy" is a great name too!
ReplyDeleteNice start on this faction Uncle Thulu as a great detective sounds like a marvellous idea for a faction leader. Perhaps as an evil police force.
ReplyDeleteNice work on these lively characters. Keep 'em coming. Best, Dean
