I've started working on some new miniatures, for Call of Cthulhu. I was waiting for the primer on the Starship Troopers to dry, which is why I did these first.
These are supposed to be from the 1920's, and I wanted them to look poor.
Here's a woman:

Do you design the miniatures, or are they pre-made? A long time ago, I used to buy and paint Warhammer miniatures. I never knew how to play the game, though. I just thought they were cool.

Everything I've painted is pre-made. Some of my miniatures are from Games Workshop (the company that makes Warhammer), and these ones in particular are from RAFM.
I would like to learn how to sculpt miniatures from scratch, though I don't expect that I'll be very good at it. I'll post here about how it went, when I do.

Well for you guys that use to play wow PRE BC. You find this quite a good fine.
The name C'thun bears a resemblance to Cthulhu of H.P. Lovecraft's novels, as well as the Chthonians, one of Brian Lumley's additions to the Cthulhu Mythos. Another striking resemblance exists between the name C'thun and the C'tan from the Warhammer 40,000 universe. There is also mention in Warhammer 40,000 of a planet called Cthonia, which was the homeworld of the Space Marine Legion known as the Luna Wolves - soldiers of the primarch Horus, who later became the 40K universe's greatest traitor. It is likely that the words C'thun, Cthulhu, Cthonia and C'tan are all derived from the Greek word Chthonios (Xθωνιος), which means earth (specifically the interior of the earth, rather than the surface). Although there was no specific god named Chthon in Greek mythology, there were numerous Cthonic cults during the classical era. The word Chthonic (sometimes spelled Cthonic) itself is still used to refer to the underworld (being an underground realm, as opposed to Hell or Hades), and is used as an adjective to describe earth-related deities in mythology. It seems that Blizzard, Lovecraft and Games Workshop adapted the word for their own uses.
While C'Thun bears no striking physical resemblance to artists' renderings of Cthulhu, he is an Old God, possibly similar to the "Great Old Ones," or "Elder Things" from Lovecraft's novels, of whom Cthulhu is the most prominent (though not the most powerful) member. C'Thun's eye, however, does greatly resemble Tolkien's Eye of Sauron
