That’s a third Cthulhu Wars faction fully coloured ! Hurray. The Tcho-Tchos were painted in 2018, the Sleeper in 2019, and the Yellow Sign in 2022. BUT there’s a twist : the first Great Old One of the Yellow Sign was actually painted by Steicy in… 2015 ! It only took 7 years for the faction to be finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to the other factions, we did NOT took reference pictures of the colours used to paint Hastur in 2015. Recreating the colour scheme was much more difficult, and I feel the whole faction is overall a little less coherent than the 2 others. Still calling it done !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started painting the second Great Old One of the faction, the Yellow King. The yellows are not an exact match, though Hastur was slightly altered to make them a little more alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Undead and Byakhees were the next in line. They underwent a lot of redoing. Overall, I think the faction lingered on the painting desk for the best part of the year, since I had a hard time feeling satisfied with it. The Byakhees are the one I struggled the most with. They feel a little unfinished even though I like their luminescent larva bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Acolytes were a challenging sculpt, with pretty unpleasant mold lines. But I actually like the final result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea for the custom portal of the faction was completely taken from the talented Anthony Stockseth<\/a> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
