Honestly, if those didn't have the Pony association, I'd kind of dig them. Weird psychedelic ultra-colour mechawar would be hella dope. Gimme mechs covered in living LCD screens that flash brilliant ever-shifting patterns with fluttering streamers of hardlight in all the colours of the rainbow, mechs coated in reflective prisms so that enemy lasers burst into rainbows harmlessly around them, rocket launchers that are calibrated to play a jaunty tune with the roar of the cluster exhaust.

Sadly that's basically the actual model, just with some added bedazzling and technicolor cartoon party girls.

Give me a mirror finished jetpack hawk-mech that rains down prismatic beams of energy death from a cannon built to resemble a flaming sword while carried aloft by great hollow wings that flexibly wrap around it as spaced armour and whistle like grand organ pipes when in flight.

I would like to believe that a wargamer's child painted it. I'm pretty sure it isn't, but I want to believe.

I don't think it's that bad, honestly. Part human, part dragon, part squid/octopus.

It's like how there's so many pictures of the "elephant"-headed alien in the Conan story "Tower of the Elephant" when the clear intension in the text is that the alien has a grasping limb on its "face" and used to have wings that, when unfurled, sort of looked like big elephant ears from a certain angle, but it wasn't a literal buff version of Ganesha.

Ol' Sleepy-Head is like if you threw a human, octopus and dragon together, but there can be many interpretations of that description.

Edit: The "praying hands" look like those little fingers (some?) bats have at the end of their wings that they use for crawling about. This isn't a bad Cthulhu figure, and it's a pretty good star-spawn figure. The price isn't hugely unreasonable, especially if they end up having to print each figure or something.

I appreciate the fact they're trying to do something different than Ol' Shambling Octopus Head, even if I don't particularly like the model itself.

Also part of the mythos is that Cthulhu can shapeshift to some extent so it makes sense that there would be weird forms he uses that don't make sense to mere mortals.

I think the reason we see so little deviation for what Cthulu looks like is because Cthulu is one of the few horrors Lovecraft visually sketched out.

I guess you could say giant praying hands fit thematically because Cthulu is worshipped by humans, and thus might understand the concept. But I always thought the point of these ancient horrors was that they were too old, too important, and too alien for us to understand them or for them to care about us. Like a human observing bugs. It would be weird to taunt the bugs with how scary you are but I guess it does happen.

It's an okay mini but doesn't do it for me

I think the praying hands are kind of neat but that level of detail/sharpness is on par with what I'd expect from 28mm Reaper bones stuff.

I'd never want to CMON one but it's a much nicer model imo.

I don't hate it. Cthulu miniatures are inherently stupid, trying to make a model of something that's supposed to be indescribable is just bad form. I do appreciate how the model looks big, but without taking up a lot of table space, I appreciate the pose.

What if instead of spending precious time and money on designing and sculpting a remotely plausible and interesting model we just mash a few basic solids together, add some old 40k guns, sprinkle it with some random rivets and panel lines, and put the whole thing on train engine wheels? gently caress design, we've got a gold mine right here!

That doesn't look any worse than the other stuff in the line, and has a sort of goofy charm about it.

From the back it just looks like a squished steam train. But the guns sticking out to the side, and the little hatch thing poking out the top just makes me think of Fatbot from Futurama.

I just noticed from the page, the train wheels are wrapped in tank treads, so that's why it's "railless." Very odd design.
