The Plan
I'm writing some horror/Cthulhu role playing adventures so I'm also painting suitable miniatures and making suitable scenery. I'm setting my adventures in the 1980s, a great decade for horror in both films and books, and I'm going to be using quite a lot of my existing miniatures. Most of my games will be set around the British Isles and so there will be some anachronisms with the miniatures and scenery I use. For example, all my police are American but my police cars are 1970 British ones. Nevermnd, this will just add to the horror! The Investigators
I'm going to be using a lot of miniatures from different eras. Here's Tintin and friends to start us off. They're available from 1st Corps. Here are the chums facing down a Fenris Games Shub Niggurath. This won't end well.
The Yellow Sock (a Reaper miniature). This is a bit of a special character, more on her later.
