Meet the Night-Gaunt!

Hello,

While at the Salute, I made sure I've checked out EM4 stand. I know EM4 since my early days of blogging, as I wanted to order some gangsters for my zombie games from them. I have decided against it, because postage to Slovenia included mandatory tracking, due to previous experiences of lost parcels sent to my country. I never had any problems myself, but anyways, I've decided against ordering because I've only wanted a couple of miniatures. This time, I've ignored the gangsters all together and I've picked up three "agents" (well, armed humans - will show them later once I paint them), this little fellow  and another monster that I will show you next time. I must say I love them all. I am not too fond about their females, but if I would pick again, I'd certainly pick one - got no female agents!

Back to nightgaunt. You got option of one standing normally (the one I picked and I just love it!) and one with raised paw, that looks a bit silly to me. You can get nightgaunts from many other companies, but I've picked this one. One reason is price, but to be completely honest, I really like this sculpt. I like its simplicity, albeit it is somewhat on the small side.

Nightgaunts are the monsters of Lovecrafts childhood nightmares and I must say...those had to be some wicked dreams, because the concept of the monster sends shivers down my body. We are talking about slick and rubbery black (hence the gloss varnish) humanoid figure with barbed tail, claws, horns and no face. NO FACE!

 I would like to have a bit bigger nightgaunt, but their wings tend to take lot of space and I plan to play games with my buildings more and more - plus I was just at EM4's so there was really no reason not to get one.



In future, expect even more "meet the" posts, as I am working my way trough England pile. Out of my head, I have monsters, policemen, civilians, agents and bunch of horrorclix (thanks Bryan) to work on. Once this is done or the starts go wrong again, I will paint some more of my modern zombies, which I got loads of from England (thanks again ;) ),  but got neglected a bit - the reason lies in lack of rules and sheer diversity that eldritch horrors pose compared to hordes of walking dead. They were the start of this blog and they will reappear for sure!


Thanks for looking,
