Relics Invokes Cthulhu with their Latest Faction
March 23, 2012 by brennon
As you may have noticed, the site has taken a little bit of a turn towards the dark side. Cthulhu has infiltrated everything and we are revelling in the horror he is causing. On top of that it looks like Cthulhu has also had his hand in the future of Relics! Check out these pieces of concept art for the newest Relics faction from Tor Gaming, the C'thu...
First up is this C'thu Humanoid. As you can see they have the familiar look and feel of the horror god, and I already love the different weapon options. He certainly looks like someone you wouldn't want to meet on a dark night...
And if that Humanoid wasn't bad enough, check out this C'thu Mosquito! A deadly stinger, and creepy tentacles adding to the flavour of these beasties mean you would never want to be on the business end of that.
Will you be pledging yourself to the C'thu?

That looks great! Hope the sculpts come close to the pics as it really does have the feel of Cthulhu.
Not really interested in humanoids personally, the mosquito is more my taste however! would make a great Mi-Go too. Relics certainly looks like it has a decent amount of creativity put into it and even if some things in it arent my cuppa tea it gets my respect and admiration for the imagination for sure. Hoping it will be a good success for those involved.
“Not really interested in humanoids” should become the unofficial motto of the Cthulhu hub…
hehe I always kinda laughed at myself as I never really liked “Cthulhu” much itself as I always found it’s form to be too mundane for my taste, I mean it is really just a dragon with a octopuss head, I guess it is iconic but I felt it always looked a bit tame next to depictions of the other things like Shoggoths and Polyps 🙂 I never really particularly cared for Deep Ones, Tcho tchos or Ghouls either for similar reasons – not slimey-floaty-weird thingy enoufh for XD I always kinda felt the mythos should of been called the… Read more »
These look great, the little cthulhu-ettes are nice, but love the mosi, the wings are very cool, look like they are capable to fly through time and space…
Those are intresting looking.
Pretty much what the chaps have said above
The wingy thingy is my fave of the two.
Not too sure about the archer but the humanoid is not too bad either! Actually quite liking the look. Hopefully the tentacles will not be so flat to the face as it looks too much like a beard at present for my tastes
Am of the opinion that the sculpts will close to the concepts.
Nice, looking forward to seeing how these chaps turn out. Relics keeps on jostling up against Infinity for dibs on the next chunk of my gaming budget, a Lovecraft-y element could be decisive. They seem to have skewed away from the cute-disturbing style of the Brittanans and Vaettir though, to a more sort of ‘standard’ (loosely applied) horrific Mythos beastie look?
