Regarding Sa'vasku clones

Following someones suggestion that Call Of Cthulu miniatures have the bio feel
I went down the games shop today. There is a Call Of Cthulu mini called a
'Flying Polyp' which IMO makes a very good DN model. Its 3.50 Sterling. Which
isn't too bad. The C of
C range do seem to have a lot of bio-nasties but a lot of them have
legs, the Polyp is on a flying base.

It also reminds me of an old post to the list where someone was using old dead
bees
and wasps as bio-ships - next time you clean out the
conservatory/green-house.

Hmmm....this is a good idea. I've seen a few of the CoC line and they do have
potential for bio ships. How about mounting an Elder Thing

mini (minus the wing) horizontally, and Eureka-- you've got a bio-battle

ship.  Mi-Go (i.e. The Fungi from Yuggoth) would make nice bio-cruisers.

The space navies of humanity go up against the Great Old Ones!

Lovecraft would be rolling in his grave.

Not necessarily Mark- there was a non-Mythos story set on a Venus
colonized by raygun wielding
humans- "The Walls of Eryx", I think.  I think I've already mentioned an
old
White Dwarf (pre-Evil GW) SF CoC scenario, and a lot of the CoC critters
are
from other planets\stars.  I think it would make a nice change to
startle FT players with the unexpected appearance of a vast, vaguely humanoid
"bioship", combining certain qualities of the dragon and the squid...

Cheers,

On the off-chance that anyone here plays Man-O-War, I had rules for
Cthulhu for THAT, including templates, etc.

It was published in Shadis a couple of years ago.

Yup, "In the Walls of Eryx". They had hand flamers, actually. Very enlightened
story really, if you think about when it was written.

Back when WD used to be a magazine and not a miniatures ad with beta test
rules...
