My beautiful collection of Ral Partha miniatures has long since disappeared with so many other things from my adolescent days, but lately I have been interested in painting miniatures again. I read in Make recently that Cory Doctorow had started up again after a long lapse and was inspired by both his admission and his attempt. But I have disappointed to see that Warhammer seems to dominate the market. Not that their product line isn't cool, but they all kind of look the same after a while. The pre-painted plastic miniature line from Wizards of the Coast are kind of a debacle and take all the real fun out of the hobby. And they have no weight, not like the terrific lead figures from the later 70s and 80s. So I have doing some searching for something a little off the beaten path and what did I discover but a wonderful line of miniatures for Cthulhu/Lovecraft games. Adventurers, vehicles, and of course, gods! And they are dread-tastic!
