Meet the Servitor of the Outer Gods!

Hello,

another great EM4 sculpt I've painted is Servitor. A squid-fish-something-else-like alien playing blasphemous music on his pipe, driving people mad all over the place! Now, I am no expert, but I suspect him being Scottish!

I went with rainbow colors on this one,  but they are only notable on the eyes. It is a nice miniature that takes washes and drybrushing well, so that is what I did. I believe it could always be better, but then again it could always be worse.

In Strange Aeons, profile for this lurker was introduced with their latest expansion, Shocking tales of madness and mayhem volume 3. He is quite an expensive little fellow and pretty much useless in direct combat. If he is given enough time to pipe his music, however, he calls in a Godling (the ultimate lurker, ala Cthulhu) and that...that is worth something! He is mostly reserved for special scenarios where Lovecraft himself is in play, but having a miniature gives me no excuse to use it in bigger games.



EM4 sells it in various positions - I only needed one so I went with this one as I liked it the most.




Also, if you look carefully above this post (but below the name tag), there is a page called SA Bestiary. It comes in most handy to people that actually play Strange Aeons, but it is a nice collection of all the lurkers in game and my interpretations. I had some problems with lurkers as Rogue Threshold agent and character, henchmen and such who are nothing but your ordinary humans and one miniature easily fits all the slots (and could still be used as a good guy!). Feel free to go check it out if you think you could find something that interests you but you've missed it in the past.

Thanks yet again for looking,
Mathyoo

  1. Nice paintwork on a rather disturbing looking figure. Also, two thumbs up for creating a separate bestiary page. It's a good idea to group your posts together.

    1. I must agree, I should get some of their shamblers and proto shoggots as well, but I've opted against it as I already have those lurkers represented.

  3. Neat figure. I like how you did the eyes. The bestiary page is also a good idea.

    1. Thanks Sean. At first I had this idea of painting it in blending iridescent colors, but that is way ahead my skill point :/

  4. This has to be my favourite so far the different coloured eyes make it seem really eerie. Great job mate.

    1. Thanks mate, it is quite an interesting sculpt, not intimidating as such, yet quite eerie, as you say :)
