Review - Shoggoth Rising for Cthulhu Mythos from Fenris Games
Description
Shoggoth Rising is a multi-piece resin / metal miniature, to be used as a Shoggoth for Cthulhu Mythos games.
Package
I think I've received my copy in a self-sealing bag.
Scale & Size
The model has a diameter of 42mm and it's 18mm high. As it is an amorphous monster, the scale is not apparent. I think it could be used for any kind of scales to represent a monster.
Proportions
The proportions look realistic. I assume heroic scale tentacles were a lot wider.
Details
The details are mostly hard. It looks like it will be easy to paint.
Material
The main body is made of light green resin. The tentacles are made of white metal.
Priming
The miniature is made of resin so primer is not necessary for the main part. The tentacles are made of metal, and those require primer. If you'd like to include the metal tentacles, I'd recommend you to prime the whole model.
Paintjob
The miniature is unpainted.
Assembly
If you don't want to include the tentacles, no assembly is needed. If you want to add them to the model, you will need to glue them to the main mass.
Accessories
You can consider the included tentacles as accessories. You don't have to add them to the model, I think it's perfectly fine even without the tentacles.
Posing
The only part of the miniature that is posable, are the tentacles. They are made of metal, so you can bend them sligthly.
Base
The bottom of the model is flat. It doesn't require additional basing.
Sculpting
?
Sculptor
The sculptor is Iain Colwell.
Pose
The pose is somewhat static.
Changing the pose into a more dynamic one would probably require the addition of more tentacles.
The balance of the miniature is good, it's stands perfectly on the table.
