Pulp City Monsters - Model Ideas
In my Pulp City Monsters rules review a few days ago I spoke about looking a models you could use for the Characters in the book and maybe some you could build your own rule around.
I will start off with the 9 Monsters that have stats in the book, then the other official Monsters mentioned in the fluff and then some I just like the look of to build rules around.
The rough rules I like to follow for picking these are-
1- At least 4 inches tall
2- Must fit on an 80mm base
3- Looks like it could destroy a city in a comic book
If you have any more ideas, please comment below
Stats in book - (only 4 use the official kit btw)
Terrorsaur - Humanoid Dino created by Mysterious Man. Official Pulp City Kit using dino head and tail
Ulthar Cyclopes - Creature used by the Ulthat invasion forces. Official PC kit using Cyclopes head, trident and fins
Ging Gong - Ancient giant ape. Ape Lord by Reaper Miniatures
Soul Golem - Either Necroplane or Forgotten creation. Official PC kit, Devil or Cyclopes head and some converting
The Controller - Amorphous blog that controls minds - Shoggoth from Fenris Games
Dread Sleeper - aka The Old One. Official PC kit using C'thul head and wings
Protobot - High Powered alien robot - MkII Sentinel from Heroclix
Necroplane Harvester - Other dimensional, soul sucking UFO. Area 51 UFO from Pegasus Hobbies with added tentacles
Byte Dragon - The mighty alternate form of CORE. Clockwork Dragon from Reaper
Mentioned in PC background -
Quilong - Ancient Chinese Dragon. Chinese Dragons from Arcane Legions. Suggested by Ron
Grandfather Tiger - Great Cat. NO IDEA about models yet.
Phoenix - Legendary fire bird. Doesn't fit the fluff exactly but I love the Dark Pheonix from Heroclix. Know of any other good Phoenix minis?
Chimpanzer - Robo Monkey driven by Virus. MechaGor Vehicle from Old Glory Superfigs
Ulthar Scout Ship - The leaders of the Invasion. TR-E UFO from Atlantis Models
Wytchbot - Mix of tech and the arcane, used by the Coven. No idea what to use at the moment
Jade Cult Yeti - Big icy beast. Snowbeast from Crocodile Games. Suggested by John and Mecha Ace
Ulthar Rhinor - Alien quadruped sent into a rage by blood. Ogre mount from Games Workshop? Other GW monsters could work in the game as well
Grimm Bioconstruct - Terrible giant beast, a failed creation. Blood Maw Vore from Bane Beasts.
I just like the look of these and want to use the 'Build Your Own' rules for them -
Alternate Dread Sleeper or Old One - Old One from Reaper Miniatures
Evil Byte Dragon - Evil mirror created by Dr Tenebrous. Steam Dragon from Armorcast
Alternate Protobots / Sentinels - MkI and MkV from Heroclix
GALACTUS!!!!! - Why wouldn't you? Another Heroclox colossal
Dormmamau - The greatest Elder? Heroclix again
Iron Monger - Nice robot and its just a Marvel plastic toy
Talos - Bronze Colossus from Bane Beasts
Dagon - By Fenris Games
Undead Dragon - Reapers Kaladrax
Robo Insect - Mantis Tank by Blight Wheel Minis
Evil Villains Bot - Prussian Faust, soon to be released for Dystopian Legions by Spartan Games
Toxic Suit - Abomination from Dark age
Mole Monster - Heroclix Giganto
Underground Monster - Subterrainian Horror from Kaiju Khaos
Ancient Alien - Heroclix Ziran the Tester
Watcher and Protobot Creator - Uato and Master Mold from Heroclix. Front row second and third
Dragon and Experiment - Fin Fang Doom and Dr Manhatan from Heroclix. If you couldn't tell, Heroclix is a GREAT source for Monsters
War Tripod - War of the Worlds by Pegasus
Tentacled Beast - from Blackball Games. Suggested by Melvin
Alien Bio Armour - Trollforged Miniatures (not sure if its out yet)
Panzer Mecha - Secrets of the Third Reich. Suggested by Black Smoke
Which are your favourites and what other models would you add?

Some of those are interesting. I'll maybe get round to trying out the monster rules one day.
ReplyDeleteCould use the Wendigo from Crocodile Games as the snow beast.

The Monster rules are a whole lot of fun. Give a entire new feel to the game.
DeleteThat Wendigo is stunning. Added to the list!
Bookmarked for later reference!
ReplyDeleteI have even bookmarked it myself!
DeletePerhaps the WestWind Secrets of the Third Reich mecha would suit a robot.
