The Cthonians Attack with Studio McVey’s Sedition Wars
June 12, 2012 by brennon
Some more previews of the models coming to the Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster set which is currently still in Kickstarter mode. Check out the Cthonian from Studio McVey...
"Phase 5 Exo-form – Cthonian A massive conglomeration of evolved bio-mass combined with a powered armour carapace. The outer shell is a fully functional exoskeleton wrapped around a squid-like body composed of extremely resilient tissue. Capable of regenerating damage with dark matter conversion, this creature is nearly impossible to kill without the use of high output energy weapons. In addition to its defensive capabilities, the creature is armed with a gravitic beam weapon and a lethal nano-weapon capable of mutating a living target almost instantly.
In addition the Cthonian also seems to be able to exert the same empathic influence on infected subjects as the Grendlr.
At its core is a bio-organic computer, containing an amalgam of the Firebrand Cthon AI and ancient nano-spore techno-directives. Recovery of this system is of prime importance in understanding this outbreak."
These models are looking utterly fantastic and seem to have a flavour of 'The Thing' about them perhaps? The painted model examples are also exquisite by Kev White and really serve to bring the world to life. It will be a fantastic day when the board game gets released!
What do you make of these models and the upcoming board game?

That sculpt has nice mix of organic and mechanic look in them with most body being mechanical with some organic parts. And this sculpt has exelent amount of detail that also helps expesially with organc parts.
Fan-bloody-tastic sculpt here – far more mechanised than any other Strain model I’ve seen, having parts seemingly purely composed of dead metal compared to the plating over flesh of the others. The hybrid nature makes it seem like it’s designed to overcome any limitations from being too organic or too mechanical and it looks chunky, tough and menacing. Just to top it off it has two massive guns, the organic one looking a little like a cross between a ‘Nid Devourer and a cluster missile pod…just gorgeous. Love it. 🙂
Lots of lovely from Mcvey
At first, the artwork makes it look like a nid but the final model is far from that. I’m liking the range all across. Hope to see some epic BIG beasts 😉
Thats a serious sculpt, so clean and so well made. I’m very impressed with this work, its a quality you don’t see to often.
