Join The Innsmouth Community With Crooked’s Fishfolk
July 16, 2019 by brennon
The next release window from Crooked Dice sees some more Cthulhu-inspired folk hitting the tabletop for 7TV. Embrace the Innsmouth lifestyle with some new Fishfolk who clearly love the sea a little too much.
These four characters are going to be hitting the tabletop next month. As you can see there's a couple of fishermen, a fishwife and then a priest who obviously knows what he's talking about. I mean, why wouldn't you give yourself over to the gods from beneath the waves?
These models were sculpted by Iain Colwell and painted by Simon Bradley and Crooked Dice showed off a few more images of the group as they go about their everyday business.
I like the idea of you sending your investigators to this little town by the sea only to find it populated by these very strange folk. You'd then have to try and work out how to find out what's going on in the town without being mean and telling them that they all look very ugly indeed!
I'm sure it's just a very unique genetic defect right? Not at all linked in any way to creepy dark gods and weird going's on? This set is looking great and comes at the right time as a lot of folks get stuck into The Sinking City video game.
What do you make of these Fishfolk?

I thought this was what people who live beside Sellafield look like! Lovely paint jobs on some great looking figures.
No, up there it is just the radiation. If you want places that really are like Innesmouth then you have to go further north. You will have to go up on the west coast of Scotia or the the Shetlands! That is ‘Wicker Man’ country up there. They go up the aisle to “My Perfect Cousin” by the Undertones. No kidding…my dad’s father’s side of the family is from up there. The first time we went there was just before my 13th birthday. A few weeks earlier I had seen the Wicker Man for the first time. I was soon… Read more »
p.s., it is also one of the most beautiful places you will even experience. It still blows me away after 40 years.
This is a local shop for local people ?
Oh, you’ve been! You’ll NEVER leave.
They also do Edward and Tubbs minis…
Lol.
Those are nice.
Outstanding…as always from CD. The ‘old-lady’ with the fish is fintastic. I couldn’t resist. Crooked Dice do make some really amazing minis. So characterful. They scream out to be played with. That is something I see less-and-less, but these guys seem to have it just right…their ‘Scarecrows’ give the pure fear. Their own game is also worth looking at if you are thinking of trying something new. 7TV rules. No, I mean they are really good. Maybe it is because I am an old bastard who actually remembers the shows the game tries to recreate, but if you have every… Read more »
Quatermass?
You could easily create your own, either from the films or the series. However, leave out Ross Kemp! They do scientists with/without mutations and all manner of B movie goodness. The giant ants are awesome and it is my birthday soon…
They do some stunning “Space 1999” minis and a set from the ultra-heavy nuclear war movie ‘Threads’. If you haven’t seen it – don’t. Far too realistic.
One of my favourite ranges are the Police and Criminals. Think Reagan & Carter! I don’t think I would use them for a game, but they are just great minis.
Great figures perfect for a alternative survival game like fallout were the surface folk are different shall we say?
They are great for ANY games. We have played some zombie style games and they always ended-up just like an episode of the A-Team crossed with Fawlty Towers.
I dunno…. this smells fishy…
Can I give you a minus 1 for that joke? You need to study some Jerry Sadowitz!
You can but must provide source material! (Please keep in mind I’m just a casual German nagging everybody because of the pronunciation of German troops and cities)
If your joke had any source matieral I would have given it a try. I was always told Germans didn’t have a sense of humour because the language has no word for ‘fluffy’.
Get out of that one, Rommel!
However, you do make some awesome tanks!
Of course we have a word for fluffy… “flauschig”. (fla-o-shig)
What is the German for, “I am an ass!”?
Depends… do you mean the animal or the rear end of the digestive system?
They are truly fantastic, really characterful sculpts. I’ve no need for them for gaming but I want them to paint and just to have.
I often wondered what happened to Toad of Toad Haĺl
After the second series of ‘The Office” he moved to Bournmouth!
Nice. Hopefully they flesh out the range
…that was a much better joke!
Lol thanks!
