Puppets War Introduce us to Some Creepy Little Cherubs
March 22, 2012 by brennon
It wasn't long ago that we saw some Work-in-Progress models of these guys, but Puppets War have got into gear and they are now released! Check out the Blessed Omniretinue!
What is insanely creepy about these models is how realistic they actually look. Perfect for the Gothic future that they will inhabit but that mix of the uncanny with these models certainly puts them on the side of unsettling! I love the one with the book, would look great stood in front of a preacher or Inquisitor ready to read the rites of battle.
Are you liking this creepy ensemble?
Those look very much like something from 40k art.
Fantastic
Not entirely sure what I would use them for but they deserve a bit of thinking to find some use for them lol
I agree Brennon, the realism and quality of the sculpting is superb and adds a lot of flavour.
It’s really spooky how close it is to the 40K art. Also just having skulls on winged kids is rather twisted the more you think about it. The guys at Puppets War have captured the essence of this set down to the tea.
Reminded me of when Dante’s Inferno (the game) made a whole bunch of enemies that were unchristened foetuses…was very, very creepy. It’s just the fact that they have put skeletal heads on top of very humanoid looking babies that freaks me out lol.

It’s not just the bodies that are childlike – look at the pose of the sword cherub for example. He can barely lift that thing but is clearly trying so hard, strutting forwards like an imagined hero rather than an actual combatant…like a child might.
Good sculpts, but pretty twisted. Grimdark enough for 40K then… 😉
