Description A new series of illustrated plates from a recently released book, "Cthulhu Wars" by Osprey Publishing. I worked on these a couple years back but because release of the book was severely delayed for some reason unknown to me I am only able to show post them up here now. Not a fan of Lovecraft's work but I honestly had a lot of fun working on these and learned some things about the Cthulhu Mythos. I hope you guys like them.

Kampong Cham, Cambodia (August 20, 1968)
A MACV-SOG special forces team hunkered down in the ruins of an old temple is surrounded by a horde of attacking Tcho-Tcho tribesmen and a mysterious Oblong Swimmer emerging from the sawgrass. Nearby a .50 cal team lays down suppressive fire from the temple parapet as the rest of the team falls back.

Despite what most would have you believe. You CAN kill MOST creatures of the undead, Fae, hell, heavens, and so on with mortal weapons. You just got to know where to hit them and know how there anatomy works. Also NOTHING comes back from obliteration. Which is what that .50 cal will do to whatever that thing is coming out of the saw grass.

" MOST creatures of the undead, Fae, hell, heavens, and so on with mortal weapons"

Well ... that would be applying real-world logic to creatures that don't exist in our dimension. :-P

It doesn't matter if it's an infinite spoop of unkillability from the oogly boogly dimension.  It goes against the laws of existence for there to be something that can't be killed by an m2 browning.

:T Yes yes I know such impossible things will NEVER be made real. But I have an active imagination. Plus I LOVE this stuff.

I guess that operation could be the one where delta green messed up and got disbanded in the process.

If any armed forces unit had been disbanded after a botched-up operation, not many units would be left, wouldn't it? :-3
