Put them in a box in the closet, like all the rest miniatures? I know that is what I will be doing with mine.

Army of Cthulhu Hierarchy

0 Comments

We’ve seen a lot of different beasts on the Kickstarter, but how do they relate to one another on the battlefield? What are their capabilities? Which ones command?


----begin report---

According to documentation obtained from a joint study between The Order and the HADES Military Authority, there are currently ten major classifications for enemy forces:

1.Beasts

These are creatures akin to standard Earthly animals. Many appear to be genetic hybrids of fish, mammals or even fungus. These creatures are generally low on intelligence but are no less dangerous. Some are individually deadly and while others may not be dangerous by themselves, they travel in significant enough numbers to pose a threat.

Example: Ulkisuba

2.Cultists

Humans who have given up their natural heritage and become followers of Cthulhu are transformed into Cultists. While they often retain a semblance of their former human form they are more creature than human in both body and mind. These are the most loathed of all the Cthulhu host. Not due to their appearance or abilities but because they gave up their humanity freely. They often attack in groups and no quarter is given for Cultists.

Examples: Lilit and Bisagalu

3.Spawn

Spawn are similar to Cultists in that they are generally bipedal creatures however their genetic makeup is nowhere near human. They are genetic manipulations of existing or long extinct species. They range from simple minded beasts acting on little more than instinct up to highly intelligent creatures able to use advanced tactics and weaponry.

Examples: Atukusu, Murguba, Barhusum and Raqqunu

4.:[Classified]:

5.Elites

Enemies in this classification fall into several sub categories but in general they are the leadership caste, highly intelligent group/pack fighters or singularly deadly creatures. The majority of those that fall into this category were not born or created on Earth, rather they arrived on Earth eons ago with Cthulhu. It is unknown if these are the original travelers or their offspring as their lifecycle and lifespan is unknown.

Examples: Elite Deep Ones, Ghouls, Star Spawn, Mother Hydra, Flenser, Shoggoth and Dagon.

6.Warlocks

The name Warlock is a misnomer as there is no ‘magic’ involved. However it is considered an apt description and categorization as much of what they can do is not natural. They are able to harness the psychic power of Cthulhu and perform all manner of defensive and offensive feats. Their power rivals that of The Order and a Warlock is always a target of opportunity if the situation presents itself.

Example: Cthulhian Warlock

7.Minions

Minions are monstrosities that possess enormous power on the battlefield. They are essentially mindless creatures which have been genetically engineered from some of the largest creatures from Earth’s distant past. Their physical power alone is significant but what makes them most deadly is the parasitic ‘driver’ embedded in their cranium. These are intelligent entities that direct the power of their host.

Example: Girtab Utukku

8.Children of R’lyeh

These are similar to minions but possess and intelligence of their own. Many have no analog to any known creature of Earth and are suspected of being genetic stock brought from elsewhere. They are each singularly destructive and attack with weapons ranging from brute strength, psychic attacks and even EMP bursts. They are truly some of the most destructive and hard to kill creatures humanity faces.

Examples: Pirig Utag and Haz Tillug

9.:[Classified]:

10.Allegiance Unknown

Over the course of the war it has become apparent that not every alien creature encountered is allied with the forces of Cthulhu. There have been reports of several different entities that will attack the enemy on sight or join a battle in progress. However, the enemy of our enemy is not necessarily our friend. These same creatures have also attacked humans on occasion thought typically when they have been threatened or attacked first. Where their true allegiance ultimately resides is unknown but further study is required to determine how this might be used to human advantage.

Examples: MiGo, Night Gaunt, and Elder Things

---report end---

Lilit is a cultist which means she was a human who voluntarily joined the forces of Cthulhu and as such was 'blessed' with a new form. Enjoy!

Shipping Update for UK/EU backers

Posted by Reclusive Phoenix (fka Warchild40k) (Creator)


I have updated information for UK/EU backers and have updated the FAQ.

I was able to work out a deal with Rob at Mierce to have them ship for the UK and EU backers. It was a tough and arduous discussion full of points and counter points which nearly came to blows but in the end we hammered something out.

I kid of course, I asked and Rob said yes. He's good people.


So for UK/EU backers you can expect shipping to be:

UK: £4

EU: £8-10

Since they ship from the UK it is cheaper than I can ship from the US so should be a break for the UK/EU backers. For everyone else the list in the Shipping FAQ is still the best estimates I've been able to get so far but I continue to into other options. If I manage to find something better another update will go out and the FAQ updated.

Cheers!
