Once again... WOOHOO!!!
After more than three years, closure has been achieved in the CSM Tome of Horrors I & II Kickstarter/Ponzi -Scheme boondoggle. I got a box of miniatures yesterday.
In fact, I got a box of outstanding miniatures and took many pictures of same. Worth the wait? Let's not get crazy, folks. Three years is three years, after all.
Still.. some great sculpts, unusual subjects, & quality casting. Behold:
 |
| Babbler |
 |
| Basidirond |
 |
| Blindheim |
 |
| Boneneedle |
 |
| Bullywugs ( AKA Tsathar) |
 |
| Cassomolar, President of Hell |
 |
| Catterwaul |
 |
| Dire Corbies |
 |
| Disenchanter |
 |
| Flumphs |
 |
| Gorbel |
 |
| Iron Cobra |
 |
| Jaculi |
 |
| Kamadan |
 |
| Splinterdrake |
Overall, casting quality is excellent. The only exception being the flanks of the Disenchanter, just below the hump, on both sides. Here the mini's surface is deeply pitted. A picture on Pacesetter's Facebook page shows an example with the same issue so mine's likely typical in this regard.
Cassomolar may be the best sculpt of the bunch. Fine work by Patrick Keith. Its small size was a big surprise, however, in view of its price ($16.95). I can't complain though, technically it was one of my free selections.
The Dire Corbies, on the other hand, are larger than expected... absolute brutes.
In making my selections I focused on certain sculptors (Keith, Kline, Williams, Prow) and subjects tied to the old Fiend Folio (11 of 15).

Finally, a word of gratitude to Bill of Pacesetter Games. He really pulled the fat out of the fire here. Well done, sir.
PS - Love the flumphs.
PPS - WOOHOO!!!
