Modiphius & Devil Pig Games Ally For More Cthulhu Fun!
March 29, 2013 by brennon
Modiphius and Devil Pig Games who are both currently running Kickstarters for their games Heroes of Normandie and Achtung! Cthulhu and have some surprises for us to enjoy!
As you can see above you have both a set of Investigator Heroes and some Mythos Monsters for them to face off against. I'm loving the American GI smoking away with that tentacle clutched in hand.
In terms of the monsters the Deep One with a sub machine gun is still a firm favourite but that Nazi Officer could also take the top spot. I can't wait to see the miniature for that particular horror.
As well as working on Achtung! Cthulhu they have also helped with Heroes of Normandie on a Great Old One Bundle that introduces the Shadows over Normandie expansion giving this game a bit more of a horror edge. It will be fun seeing how the two ideas blend but it makes perfect sense to me.
Hollywood action and Cthulhu influences, perfect!
Will you be pledging to either of these Kickstarters?
While these guys don’t look much like the classic 40’s era investigators I have in my head, they ABSOLUTELY fit with the Achtung! Cthulhu universe (as I understand it). There’s a real Hellboy vibe to them and if I wasn’t already re-mortgaging my house to back Warzone, I’d be upping my Achtung! Cthulhu pledge to get these too..
i really like the idears but as a ww2 nerd i don’t want to see made up sci fi stuff in the game
its all been done to death its ment to be about Cthulhu in the real second world war
the british guy has his beret on the wrong way around ….capbadge is over the left eye

Then you really want the classic Cthulhu RPG for that. The Achtung! Cthulhu game is more of an action-y mix of weird ww2 with cthulhu horror and I can’t think of a better thing to compare it to than the first 20 minutes or so of the Hellboy movie.
Sci-fi WWII done to death? How about actual WWII? Oh boy.
