Fantasy Flight Unleash Monsters into the Horror of Arkham
March 14, 2012 by dracs
Fantasy Flight have released the second wave of painted monsters for use in games of Arkham Horror. Check out these gribbly beasties.
These fairly nice pre-painted minis will add a whole other element of immersion to your games. Lets face it, seeing this giant horror approaching your character is a lot more scary than watching a piece of card advancing.
These minis also have a practical element as well as looking good. Their bases allow you to slot their stat cards in, while leaving the stats themselves clear for you to see.
This means you can continue to keep track of what you are fighting and then still claim their card for your monster trophy.
Think this might be a useful addition to your own games? Think you might pick up a set?

Love the giant purple depiction of shub-niggurath. Proves yet again, lovecraft has the best aliens – while everyone else is stuck ripping off starship troopers at best.
That’s not Shub-Niggurath.
Really? it looks like the model’s based off or inspired by these pieces of art of Her to me :

Note : not saying you’re wrong, just showing why I came to the conclusion I did, incase the above reply sounds defensive or whatever 🙂
Its the Wailing Writher, Mask of Nyarlathotep . no worries, easy to get confused with all the tentacular and gibbering goodness!
Not played arkham horror, but the card says a wailing writher…
I knew you’d love them @abstractalien you tend to like lovecraftien beast even more than me 🙂 For prepaints they not bad at all.
I’m not obsessive I swear! -cradles Shoggoth plush-
Its always good to see more lovecraftian horror.
I like these so much, my pseudopods are pulsating.
Purely a collectible for the Cthonian that has wrapped it’s tentacles around everything.
Never a fan of prepainted however…always looks rubbish.This is the exception just because its AH and for no other reason.
I agree not a fan of pre-paints, but just the content gets my vote!
Scale can be an issue with Cthulhu monsters but these do ok, plus it has to work with the game.
