When Nightmares Come and turn the world Upside Down - Vermin

 In When Nightmares Come there are four levels of horror - three minion level and one boss type.

Vermin - dangerous to inexperienced Hunters, uses numbers to wear Hunters down.

Horde - more dangerous, but as Hunters gain experience (and upgraded toys) they become less of a threat.

Terror - Dangerous, encountered as Hunters get closer to the centre of the mystery

Atrocity - The Big Boss. 

So, starting with the Vermin level

This hound like Dark Spawn has the Trait Fast, giving it an extra two inches of movement.

This means it can close to melee range very quickly in the the close urban environment.

The figure requires a 30mm Renedra base.

The figure was undercoated with Citadel Chaos Black spray.

The base was painted with Vallejo Flat Earth.

The figure was base painted with Citadel Rakarh Flesh.

The pustules were painted with Citadel Morghast Bone, then the surroundings washed with Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade.

The mouth was painted with Citadel Mephiston Red, then washed with Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade.

Shaded areas were painted with Citadel Carronburg Crimson.

Finally dry brushed with Citadel Terminatus Stone and the mouth parts again washed with Citadel Carronburg Crimson.

When Nightmares Come - Portals.

 In When Nightmares Come, the Dark Spawn appear through portals. These are only visible (and can then be closed) after investigating the Points of Interest and finding clues.

At Warfare, I picked up two packs of Litko Large Green Toxic Flame Markers

They look suitable as Portal Markers.

More Quar

At Warfare I bought four new packs of Quar.

Coftyran Sharpshooters

 Three Quar sharpshooters. Though there are three heads on the sprue, the firing Quar has a fixed head.

Though this pack says Coftyran Command, it is actually one Standard Bearer and one PykPyk handler, and four PykPyks.

No spare head this time, but not sure if there is a spare pack (as the PykPyk handler has a cage of PykPyks on his back.

PykPyks are used to send messages (hence the message capsules on their backs). In the extended Rhyflers Handbook there are rules to use them.

Crusader Trench Raiders with Derringer Shotguns and melee weapons.

I also bought the Crusader Command set, again a Standard Bearer and a PykPyk handler.

When Nightmare Come and turn the world Upside Down - Sneak Peek

 So, for a themed set of horrors for a When Nightmares Comes I had a look at Crooked Dice's range of figures.

Here they are , in the metal.

Creeper Hound, Mutated Experiments, Creepers and the Dream Stalker.

Alien Invader Shuttle Craft

 At Colours 2-24 I bought a resin print of Alien Invader Shuttle Craft.

The hull is printed in two parts, with each half having four recesses to take the supplied spring clips.

There are also three landing fet.

Anvil Industries Biohazard Sergeant as an Astronaut

 A while back Anvil Industries released a five man Biohazard Containment Unit and a Biohazard Sergeant.

The default helmet is a Millenium Gasmask, but I bought a set of their Spheroidal Dome Bubble Helmets as a substitute.

I thought they would make good Expanse style Belters.

This is the Sergeant

He is armed with a pistol and a slung HK416 SOPMOD assault rifle.

He is bracing the pistol with the hand holding a torch.

Anvil Industries Astronaut

 Anvil Industries have a range of Print on Demand Astronauts. there are male and female ones armed either with HK G11 caseless assault rifles or Gyrojet rifles.

This is one of the female astronauts armed with the Gyrojet rifle.

Unfortunately, the rifles are integrated with the arms, so you cannot swap weapons - you have to buy the relevant weapon arms. It does make mix and matching the male and female figures impossible if you want them to have the same weapons.
