Baron Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'm getting ready to run A Time to Harvest. I'm looking for figures that would make good 1920s students, as opposed to your typical CoC figures. Any leads? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvincent Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Here's a thread on the subject. I'm partial to Heroclix (rebased onto these). Some examples of students include: Rick Jones Simmons Fitz Skye Pepper Potts Harvey Dent John Jameson Peace Brigade Thug Walter Kovaks Ben Reilly Jessica Jones Mary Watson Peter Parker For a lot of cheap, pre-painted 1920's figures: try O-scale figures (under 10 cents apiece on aliexpress.com or ebay) hot glued to bingo chip bases. They are the perfect size (I've measured them next to my other miniatures), and their "blank faces" are easily fixed by running a black dry-erase marker over their face, then wiping it off.

Baron Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Hey, thanks for these suggestions. Just ordered the batch of 100 0-scale people, and 100 black plastic chips to base them, from ebay. Now, shipping to me on a slow boat from China, it'll be some weeks before they arrive. But I'll have a whole slew of figures for Call o' Cthulhu! Edited April 5, 2017 by Baron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 OK, 100 Chinese train figures for $1, 100 poker chips for $1, a couple of Lesneys for a couple bucks each, and here are the results! (Three packs of Bob Murch's Pulp Figures also on the way, for considerably more, but what the heck.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwfortune Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 So you guys use miniatures when you play COC? I have kept everything abstract, just talking. The only thing I hand out is news articles or letters and such. Do you guys prefer miniatures for the combat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do (since I'm a very tactile/visual person), and I've chosen groups that have similar tastes to my own (many of them enjoy D&D for the same reason). My players love the visuals. Miniatures are particularly best when facing minions or having pulpy mass battles (which I do a lot), but I can see how they might detract when say, facing a singular indescribable horror in a darkened room. So for other types of players: talking might be better for their enjoyment (especially for CoC). Edited April 7, 2017 by mvincent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes the combats more like action scenes from a movie. I also like the reaction they get when you tell the characters they see a large migo and you put out a figure that looks like this: buckyball Edited April 16, 2017 by buckyball had to add a sig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
