Cohors Cthulhu

 Hi!

Another random post but I happened across an article mentioning Modiphius is going to be releasing a RPG/wargame called Cohors Cthulhu which looks pretty interesting.


It's quite a concept, set during the 1st century AD on the northern border of the Roman Empire and featuring Cthulhu mythos beasties vs Legionaries and barbarian tribes and kind of reminds me of the Dark Age project that I've been pootling away with over the last year or so.


Apparently the RPG is coming first followed by a solo/co-op wargame with range of figures which will be scaled to fit in with other historical manufacturers but I'll be interested to see how it develops, especially as they mention they are planning on exploring other areas of the Roman world.
 

Sadly I've still not got round to playing through the Rangers of Shadowdeep rules that I've had lying around for a while now but I'll be following developments with interest and may even collect up some small warbands for use with it, or at least Brutal Quest as I fancy having a bash at putting together some more grim and gritty figures than my usual bright and comic style and this could be a really fascinating project to delve into once it gets released.

In the meantime, All the best!

  1. This is cool looking. Always dug the roman look, and it's weird (not historical). We'll see how it develops!

    1. Indeed!

      I'll be keeping an eye out for when the wargame comes out as it sounds like my sort of thing with small numbers and solo/coop design.

      Alas there's no update on the release date yet!

  2. Have you seen the Osprey Cthulhu's Rome book? It's just background stuff but very well-written and the pictures are excellent. I've got some undead Romans - for some reason I think they work well together!
