Don't joke I sat down the other day contemplating 1/300th scale
Cthulhu and his minions:) But then I thought too much like GW epic Chaos
stuff. So I made a martian tripod miniature instead. Might show you lot if you
are good:)

Plus, for *true* eldrich horror, the Pokethulhu miniatures should be available
soon....

There was once a Great Cthulhu that went with a line of Cthulhu miniatures. It
was supposedly a 25mm range, but in this case it
really was more like 1/300th... a 25mm Cthulhu would be vast.

There was a vinyl model of the Big Guy that's probably a little closer to the
right size
for 25mm.  I have the RAFM lead one, too -- he's probably good for 15mm
scale or for
1/300, as you say.

Took an entire tube of epoxy to assemble that sucker, too.

I don’t think that Berserkers are pushing it at all, frankly. They have a
distinguished
place in SF, after all -- Babylon 5 used a “berserker” in one episode,
in fact, and actually called it such.

Besides, in gaming Berserkers play a vital role: the big, bad machine that a
bunch of inexperienced players can pound upon while learning the rules. Isn’t
there an SFB
scenario with some kind of berserker-like alien machine?

Plus, they make a good excuse for some extensive scratchbuilding that cleans
all of those miscellaneous scraps of plastic out of your Bits Box.

Yes, I have one. 25mm? Well, the cover art shows it picking up a small
steamer... I'd say it's about the same scale as the GZG FT range.
