From The Vault: Tcho-Tcho

Call of Cthulhu was the first real RPG I played, and for as long as I've been aware of Lovecraft and the Mythos, I've loved the Tcho-Tcho. I don't know why, exactly – perhaps because they are almost always creepy, with the setting's cosmic horror reflected in them in a less overt way than some of the other antagonist options. It's the same with Deep One Hybrids – they're brilliant and creepy, but full-on Deep Ones... meh.

Regardless, when these guys came out, I snapped them up!
While I have my doubts about some of the scaling on the firearms, these are incredible little models, and I wish I could remember the manufacturer.
I tried to get a sinister, unnatural complexion on these guys, using green inks on khakis and light browns. It worked better on some than on others (the chap with the kitchen knife looks like he's been to a kids' facepainting party!), but they definitely don't look entirely human.

  1. These were from Tengu Miniatures, who also did some other great Lovecraftian beasts (the shoggoths were brilliant!) and some great modern zombies (including the lesser spotted naked zombies and clown zombies). The range was sold off, with CP Models now selling a bunch of them. Oh, and the owner-sculptor now has Toad King Castings, selling a range of fantasy creatures with a D&D emphasis.
