About the game
The Great Dreamer is back. A catastrophic chain of events started under the sands of Babylon has brought back one of the most terrific foe Humanity has ever faced: the mighty Cthulhu. A part of this creature's essence has materialized in the form of an Avatar, a powerful representation of the Deity on Earth. After centuries of slumber, it can once again advance the cause of the Mythos forces on our planet, getting ready for a final battle it knows is coming. The Avatar of Cthulhu has been sculpted by Joaquin Palacios, one of the World's most famous sculptor. This reference comes with its own Dust 1947 unit card, for the Mythos Bloc. Like all regular Dust 1947 miniatures, it comes already assembled and primed. It's ready for the battlefield, or for painting, as you wish! You can directly paint over on it, since the priming serves as an undercoat and is compatible with any type of paint.
