I'm looking to build, convert or buy a model (40K scale) to represent the King in Yellow from the Call of Cthullu mythos.

Any suggestions on a base model to work from, or a source for an existing model?

This belongs in either P&M or 40k discussion.

Your reference is backwards. The King in Yellow inspired HP Lovecraft, not the other way around. The King in Yellow predates Cthulu stuff by 40 years.

**Ascalam**

I'm aware of that, but he also made it into the Mythos, and Call of Cthullu is a bit more recognisable to most folks

Should have been more clear, so thanks for clarifying

I would think that you could base the guy on one of the cloaked wonders that GW has out there, such as the Flagellents, or some of those Bretonian scrubby guys, ( I forget thier name, but they run around with a dead knight, and a horse skull on a stick)

There was a base guy that you could use, in 54 MM, and then add in some green stuff.

I would recommend a reaper, remove the scyth and refit another skeletal hand in there, or reshape the sleeves of the cloak with the greenstuff/ epoxy. ( If you can find him, this guy is who I'm thinking of.)
