#Shadow over innsmouth

[j-tee]

After like a fucking month and 3 consecutive days fighting with the risograph print shop hours I've finally finished studio final 1/3. More to come soon.

Here are three Tiik Champions from Reaper Miniatures. I'll be using them as Beastmen for my Cult of Possessed warband. These models have a really wide stance that I had to trim down and repose so they could fit on 32mm bases. Two of these guys have swords from the original miniatures, the other is using a shield I grabbed from Gnoll miniature, and a bone club that I believe is from a Warhammer River Troll.

Overall I'm very happy with how these guys came out. I'm about half way through building my warband!

friend: "So who's your new girfriend?"

me: "Oh, you wouldn't know her, she lives in a different town."

friend: "Where?"

me: "Innsmouth."

The works of H.P Lovecraft fascinate me because the inspiration for some of his best work was so fucking dumb, for example The Shadow Over Innsmouth allegedly being inspired by him discovering he had Welsh heritage

A Poem Adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s ‘Shadow Over Innsmouth’:

“In the town where shadows creep, where the deep sea murmurs low,

Stands Innsmouth by the restless waves, where eldritch secrets flow.

With buildings old and crumbling, like a visage pale and gaunt,

Its streets are whispers in the wind, a ghostly, silent haunt.

Beneath the moon's pale, spectral light, the harbour whispers lies,

Of fish-like men with bulging eyes and gills on necks that rise.

Their skin is slimy, cold as night, with movements strange and slow,

In Innsmouth's streets, they roam at dusk, where mortals dare not go.

The stench of brine and rotting fish, a foul and foetid air,

Hangs heavy as a shroud of death, a scent beyond compare.

The houses lean like weary souls, with windows dark and blind,

As if they guard forbidden lore, the secrets of mankind.

In the church with spire bent, like a serpent poised to strike,

The Order of Dagon meets in gloom, in darkness they alight.

Their chants are like the ocean's roar, a hymn to gods unknown,

With rituals as old as time, in shadows overthrown.

A stranger comes to Innsmouth town, with curiosity,

To uncover truths long buried deep, in myth and mystery.

He finds a place of hidden dread, where normalcy is feigned,

Where faces glimpse from curtained panes, their features unexplained.

The Marsh refinery looms ahead, a relic of the past,

Its rusted frame like skeletal remains, a horror unsurpassed.

And in its depths, the secrets lie, of pacts made long ago,

With beings from the ocean's depths, where human forms can't go.

The townsfolk whisper in the dark, with voices hushed and grim,

Of dreams that haunt their sleepless nights, of songs with ghastly hymn.

For in their blood runs ancient curse, a lineage of the sea,

A heritage of monstrous change, a fate they can't decree.

The stranger flees from Innsmouth's grip, with heart that pounds in fear,

He’s seen the horror in their eyes, the truth now crystal clear.

But in his veins, the change begins, as night replaces day,

And in his dreams, he hears the call, the deep ones' eerie sway.

So if you wander by the shore, where Innsmouth's ruins stand,

Beware the shadows in the mist, the creatures of the sand.

For in that town of eldritch gloom, where ancient secrets dwell,

The line between the man and beast is thin as spider’s shell.”

After our little trip to Arkham yesterday, we're off to Innsmouth today. Probably the most famous location in Lovecraft's stories after Arkham. Don't worry, I'll do something about the inhabitants in a later #prompt ;)

With today's Hometown Secrets, it couldn't have been more fitting.

Horror of Innsmouth

[maniakminis]

The beginning of my Cult of the Possessed Warband!

I've been playing a lot of Dredge recently so I've been in a very nautical/Shadow Over Innsmouth mood. I dug through my backlog of miniatures and found this fisherman and two fish beasts from Reaper Miniatures that were a perfect start to my Mordheim warband. The fisherman is going to be the Magister and the fish will count as my Possessed. I really like Reaper Miniatures models, with how detailed Games Workshop models are getting, the really exaggerated features on the reaper models are a fun, quick paint job.

More photos under the cut!
