Hey gang,

I am looking for 1920s era approrpriate Chulhu models. Now, I am a little picky. I find certain historical models, as well as a lot of ones currently made, to be horrible sculpts. Dated, badly executed, fuggly, dis-proportioned affairs. So do not post if those are the only ones you can think of, please and thank you 😉

Thanks in advance!

so this is interesting as I was thinking about this the other day, not for RPG because they need no models, but something @lloyd said to me sparked an interest this is what I came up with the other day

https://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/index.php

plenty of minis there from Adventurers to Gangsters to polar expeditions everything screams CoC.

Off to Darkest Africa, then check out

Congo

or the 19th Century for various explorers

Footsore, check out the IRA and civilians from their Inter War Period

Irish War of Independence

https://pulpfigures.com/ has everything you need from cultists to detectives

while 7TV http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/product-category/miniatures/ will give you

some excellent minis that may fill a void (filling voids may bring on the destruction of humanity by a nebulous un-nameable horror from beyond the stars)

Hope that helps son

Hmm that’s going to be tricky if you don’t like the older style or proportion of stuff like RAFM (the official line) or Bob Murch’s Pulp line

You may be able to cherry pick some of the stuff from Achtung Cthulhu although most of them are military rather than civilian https://www.modiphius.net/collections/miniatures

Their are some in the Statuesque minis line that will work http://www.statuesqueminiatures.co.uk/c/4513057/1/pulp.html including some excellent asylum staff and inmates

worth a look at crooked dice’s 7TV stuff, well sculpted but the proportions might not be ideal for you http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/wp/product-category/miniatures/

Maybe footsore too, although again I suspect the style may not be right https://footsoreminiatures.co.uk/collections/inter-war-period-1918-1939

worth a browse through the frothers pulp era roundup although I suspect you won’t like they style of most of them http://wk.frothersunite.com/sc/pulp/Pulpsc.htm

@mage there were a bunch released as part of Reaper’s Bones 3 KS – these should now be filtering through to being available on their webstore

Are you mostly looking for Investigators or also the monsters and cultists?

And are you UK? Europe? North America? elsewhere? – Josh

they might be the wrong scale (not sure if you prefer 25mm, 28mm, 30mm, or 32mm)… but Mythos by Paranoid Miniatures literally is a Lovecraft based miniatures game with 4 (maybe 5?) factions… not a lot of variety, the models are all resin and therefore not cheap, but the are very well proportioned and there are some amazing monsters and villains…

https://www.paranoid-miniatures.com/

I have a box or two of these that I’m just needing to get back to assembling and painting up that I’m saving for use in RPGs…

Sadly, I’m not sure there is more in the pipeline for development as I don’t know that the game took off after KS fulfillment…

** EDIT – they actually are headed back to KS in January with it looks like 3 more factions? Wendigo, another sorcerer type faction, and some winged insect like creatures at least… so might be worth watching… **

Artisan designs have some figures that might suit as well in their thrilling tales range

Lots of good recommendations guys, thanks. I have a lot to go over here.

Also, for whomever asked, I am based in Ireland.

Thanks again!

Okay, so for my call of Cthulhu game I will be running the Haunting and handing out character sheets either already done and downloaded them from the Internet or simply do some up.

Im not sure when I will run it but it will be between now and four weeks time.

Here is option no 1, £20 total (with delivery):

https://footsoreminiatures.co.uk/products/ira-with-pistols?variant=970587615

1930-40's Town folk

Admittedly I want more from this range but to just have a handfull of investigator minis to start off with is sufficient.

Option no 2:

Achtung! Cthulhu Miniatures – Allied Investigators Pack 2

Achtung! Cthulhu Miniatures – Allied Investigators Pack 1

A little too Weird War and Steam Punk in some instances. Very little work to undo this though. Sadly that would involve mutilating these quite frankly brilliant models.

Option no 3:

http://www.statuesqueminiatures.co.uk/p/9143147/sa005-professor-felicity-poppington.html

http://www.statuesqueminiatures.co.uk/p/9048724/paw001-pulp-alley-weapons-1.html (for converting some of the footsore miniatures or Modiphius ones, perhaps)

Walter Corbit, esq., perhaps:

http://www.statuesqueminiatures.co.uk/p/9155541/pa007-apophis—the-shadow-of-chaos.html

http://www.statuesqueminiatures.co.uk/p/9084418/pa006-ramjeet-singh-and-bosun.html

And a huge fan of these two:

http://www.statuesqueminiatures.co.uk/p/8956456/pa003-da-denton-and-red-queen.html

I would love to hear everyones thoughts on my choices and ideas! Im a huge lovecraft fan.

Ive been listening to audiobooks on youtube lately for it.

Also, I want to build the Old Corbit place and mount it on a display board, for the adventurers to go through. Ill do a separate thread for that.

So hard to decide. I might make the Old Corbitt place first, then get the minis (for budgeting purposes, of course) and then paint them before running a game… hmm….

I too am on a constant lookout for decent 1920’s investigator minis. Some good suggestions here

@wasteman thanks for the link but Im not to keen on them.

@brandir So many good suggestions! The guys/gals on this forum are always so great for it! 🙂

I think when I finish my floor plan/map I will then buy the miniatures for painting:
