    Hello all!

    I am wanting to build a Cthulhu based army. Primarily a deamon army so I can use the same models in fantasy. On the other hand a bunch of skinks maybe even converted lizardmen running around should resembles deep ones.

    Has anyone ever tried a Cthulhu list with lizardmen?

    I would like some input and conversation with the idea of building a "Cthulhu" base army.

    For Cthulhu himsef I have a large Reaper model of him which is about 5" from base to top of his head. My first thougth was to use im for the Slann Mage-Priest. Then again Cthulhu is powerfully physiclly as he is with psycology, perhaps an anciant stegadon?

    Jungle swarms is a natural source of all things with tenticals.

    Byakhees instead of Terradon Riders.

    I am about tapped out with ideas from here.

    I am not just wanting to pin Cthulhu names to lizard models. I want this to look as close as I can to correct. Granted I know I will have to do some conversion work to some of the models.

    Please send any and all suggestions and help my way.

    Thanks in advance,

    Mike

    Cthulhu himself you could count as an Engine of the Gods, really comes the closest to physical + magical power combo. Though Slann is a good idea too.

    Lizardmen are the army to do it with, since they worship the "great old ones". Someone was reading some H.P. Lovecraft when they thought of the Lizardmen fluff.

    I would think that demons would definitely be a better choice for a cthulhu based warhammer army.

    Ya my initial reaction was deamons simply because of how they do their thing. Then I remembered the lizards worshiping the "Old Ones" and how easily it would be to male the skinks or troops look like deep ones.

    If I could find the right stuff for spawn of Cthulhus I could make the like Saurus models. Or maybe make Dark Spawn from Chaos Spawn in place of the saurus.

    Really short on ideas for the lizard men but I would really like to pull it off rather than doing it with deamons.
