Cthulhu & CAV

[TheAuldGrump]

 

Hmmm, Bones Cthulhu + Bones Cav = Bones Cthulhutech....

 

The Auld Grump

Mechs with tentacles?

Sometimes, but more often... Mechs vs. Tentacles!

 

2085. Humanity faces extinction. Alien insects from the edge of our solar system, long hidden behind the façade of reality, descend to enslave us. Hordes of unspeakable horrors roll out from Central Asia, laying waste to anything in their path. The church of the fish-god scours the world for lost occult secrets to unleash terrible forces. Dead gods awaken and turn their dreadful eyes toward the Earth. And within hides a cancer, eating away at the very heart of the New Earth Government.

This is the Aeon War. This is the time of CthulhuTech.

 

Climb inside a thirty-foot tall war machine and rain down hell on the unwavering Migou. Fight tooth and nail on the front lines against the horrific beasts of the Rapine Storm. Seek out the disgusting corruption of the insidious Esoteric Order of Dagon. Explore the dark world of the malignant Chrysalis Corporation and their unseen monstrous agents. Sift through secrets long thought lost and bend the power of the cosmos to your will. Join in symbiosis with something beyond time and space and become a shape-shifting bringer of wrath.

 

CthulhuTech....

Cthulutech, Because the guys over at Catalyst are crazy in the best ways possible (except Herb, if you ever get to know herb you will understand)

Amen to that. As a fairly new sculptor, this delay can be frustrating because I want the world to see my babies. When I was a painter, there was instant gratification, now there is a 3 to 9 month delay. Usually by the time my sculpts are released/announced, I'm so far into the next several sculpts that I don't even notice that they've been announced until someone says something to me about it. Typical interaction:

 

Friend: "Hey Andy, way to go, it looks great."

 

Me: "Wha???"

 

Friend: "Your Iron Cobra looks great."

 

Me: "What Iron Cobra?"

 

Friend: "In the Reaper Greens"

 

Me: "Oh, THAT Iron Cobra...um yeah, thanks!" Quickly goes and checks the Reaper Greens page then sends a link to my Mom.

 

 

Andy

Poor Andy! It does indeed suck and you have my sympathies.

Just yesterday I got an email from a company saying that I project I completed last November will be coming-out with-in the next month.

 

Also... that Iron Cobra looks great! I'm sure I'll also love what-ever else you're currently working on.

[buglips*the*goblin]

It's an Iron Cobra. What's not to love?

Ask Duke and Snake Eyes.

 

Not that Snake Eyes will talk, but ask him anyway. He like to be included.

[Loim]

I'm waiting on TaleSpinner to sculpt a platypus. Seriously. Then I'm going to run a game with the a Aardvark, Koala, and Kangaroo, and make them all awakened animal pcs.

[Pingo]

I have the aardvark, kangaroo, and koala set. How could I not? I have no idea what they will be for, possibly some dreamtime adventure.

 

But come on, an aardvark, a kangaroo and a koala. <3

You know I almost did not take that picture because I assumed Cthulhu was part of the Kickstarter and not newsworthy!

 

How wrong I was.

He was, but we're always hungry for new Bones pics here. So far from the Con scene we've seen Kaladrax and C'Thulhu, now we need a Nethyrmaul! Pictures like this help give us a better idea of Table Scale and how they look deployed. For my part, I'm very glad you took the picture!

 

I'm in definite agreement. Reapers pics tend to be really bad at the sense of scale and just how big and cool these guys actually are. I still stand by my belief that they would have offloaded a ton more undead giants during the KS if they had included a normal model in the picture for a sense of how big it actually was.

Holy cow!
I just got my Vampire reward yesterday and am totally stoked about it. Now teasing with CAV bones!!!

I'm in.

With the quality of the bones I've seen thus far... these will rock.

Please, sir, may we have some more?

IMHO it shows the C'thulhu from a good angle. Its tail is cooler than it initially looked. Both pics reaper put up hid most of the tail, making it look like a dinky tail jutting high out the back.

 

But in actuality, C'thulhu has a very meaty tail, hidden by his thunderthighs. Only a little smaller in proportion to the body than Godzilla's tail.

 

I'm a little curious as to why the tail is so much higher on the master? I wonder if there was a bones molding/casting problem that required it be put lower? Of if the bonesthulhu just needs a hot bath?

It looks like, either due to the camera angle or the posing of the mini, that he's leaning backwards quite a lot more in the second photo

[Frankthedm]

Correct, C'Thulhu in bonesium is not affixed to his base, so he is leaning back, propped up by his tail. That is why his right foot is angled upwards.

C'Thulu looks amazing I cannot wait to receive this in the mail. Has anyone seen anything on the clockwork dragon yet?
