Cthulhu Itself Rises In CMON’s Death May Die
July 10, 2018 by dracs
Today, CMON will be heading to Kickstarter with their game Death May Die and have already summoned Cthulhu to show off their take on the Great Old One.
This monstrous interpretation of Lovecraft's most famous creation was sculpted by Remy Tremblay with the oversight of artist Mike McVey.
It's a huge model, capturing Cthulhu's repulsive, alien nature. Just how huge is it? Well, check out this photo from Eric Lang's Twitter.
The model will be available as a Kickstarter Exclusive optional buy when the campaign launches later today (15:00 EST / 20:00 BST).
I think this makes for a beautiful(?) collector's piece. Everything about it suggests decay and malevolence, with the skin hanging loosely from it, covered in suckers and pustules.
Would you dare to summon the might of this Cthulhu model?

Fhtagn!
Wow That’s a big figure.
Wow! Depending on how much it costs …..
15mm Cthulhu that’s what we want to see 🙂
Well I’m not saying I’m going to back it…but it’s suddenly moved to the top of my list
That will cost an arm and a leg… and your soul.
Cmon will have to make an truly awesome game to lure me back after the crappy Black Plague and B-sieged.
it’ll probably end up being the 3 UP for a plastic production model. Still I’ll be keeping an eye to see
Nah, just your firstborn (as evidenced by the photo ? ).
Why do CMON even bother pretending to be a game design company any more. The KS is pure plastic with some minor cardboard bits to bulk it out.
We’re gonna need a bigger brush!
either that’s a small child or a huge model
A little from column A, a little from column B.
and our survey says, limited to 250 backers and it will cost you $220 $100 of which is the core book.
…and the 250 big Cthulhus were gone in less than a minute…maybe they should rethink the artificially low numbers there.
Yes, I am not backing this on principle, if they are making it so hard to get this Cthulhu, they can go fhtagn themselves
$120 for the big ugly monster box. No thanks.
Yet again it’s too much plastic. The game could be standees for all it matters to gameplay by look of it and that would be $50 max.
I’m coming at it from the other direction, the card and game can go in the bin and you’re left with some lovely mythos monsters at a reasonable price
I don’t consider them good renditions of Mythos creatures. Like the Others game, plastic too ugly to paint.
Some of them are OK But yeah the regular size Cthulhu and especially the deep ones look eh you would be better off getting the Reaper mythos stuff.
Shady CMON pledge levels have really annoyed the vast majority of backers.
I was excited about this but I’m not even going to back for the base game. There’s plenty of projects out there where the creators are trying their absolute best to produce the maximum they can for their backers – this is just a pre-order with tacked on cash grab/pressure tactics thrown in.
So many companies now are big enough not to need Kickstarter I get why they do it makes preorders easier and the amazing hype machine it can be. For example I was fine with Steve Jackson Games doing non-munchkin Games on Kickstarter BUT now they’re doing everything it seems ok Kickstarter which is sad.
“Death May Die” is the title they agreed to use?
It comes from the Call of Cthulhu “That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.”
Pledge options for this monster soon used up… not essential for the main game, will be happy with the smaller option.
I wonder if they wanted to compete with the JoA Dragon? I s this the start of a new KS trend?
Doesn’t compete as the huge (too big to actually use in the game board) Dragon for JoA was available to all whereas this Cthulhu thing is limited.
I’m surprised that cute baby isn’t freaking out and crying about that statue of Cthulhu. Then again, she’s probably a little too young to understand the price tag.
I have had a good look as I am always on the lookout for decent Cthulhu miniatures. Unfortunately, these plastic minis don’t really seem that good – still majorly disappointed with the quality of the Cthulhu Wars minis.
If you price the difference in the kickstarter pledges, the figure plus the expansion is about $150. And it is that size.
My question is: which one is the Cthulhu figure. Experience with toddler daughter tells me it could be either.
I hope Cthulhu is proud of himself for totally stomping on my budget plans for this month!
The Cthulhu theme seems overdone these days. I checked out a bit of the gameplay, I think I’ll stick to my Eldritch Horror game from FFG. Had a blast playing EH yesterday .. though we lost ..er .. someone’s dark pact made them sacrifice my character, while the 3rd player was lost in time and space. Stupid dark pacts!!
Checked out the gampeplay video and have to say turned it off when Eric started talking about punching and shooting Cthulhu in the face – complete turn off and for me not in keeping with the genre – but that’s just me.
Im not sure on this game either, but im sitting on a 220$ pledge so im going to wait and see if things get better
