We played a game were a group of cultists had taken over a church that had hidden in it a relic that could be used to control the masses. The local military commander was tipped off by a phone call from a nun from the church just before the phone went dead. The Major mustered what men he had available and they headed off to save the captives and neutralize this threat.



The soldiers are in route to the church.


The troops dismount.


The LT questions the man outside the door.


The LT gets the answer to his inquiry.


The troops respond!


Medic! The men rush for the door.


Sniper!


LT and the Sage head around the back.


The Lt and Sgt sneak the hostages out the back and give them cover as the Evolved Cultist pursues them.


The civilians drive off to safety in the truck.


The freak is taken down.


Then suddenly!


The Lt is speared by teeth and tentacles.



Meanwhile, the sniper is taken out and the church is assaulted. The cultists are killed but as they retrieve the artifact one of the fallen erupts into to a Hell beast.


With covering fire, the Sarge throws two grenades into the open maw of the Hell best and it explodes into gore.


The second Hell beast appears from the front of the church and is easily dispatched with concentrated small arms fire.


Look out behind you! From out of the woods comes a huge beast that lunges for the CO.


The beast rips the Major in two and throws the staff car into a building catching it on fire.


A mother and her child escape the burning building only to face something more terrible.


The Sgt decides to rescue the woman and drives the truck right into the beast.


The men dismount and engage the beast in hand to hand to give the woman and child a chance to get away.


Run! The mother and her child make it to safety at the cost of the rest of the men's lives.


The Elder Gods are triumphant!

Hope you enjoyed it,
Brian

The Evolved Cultist:
Actions:  2
Move:  4"
Immune to all Morale or Gut Checks
Rolls 3 dice in close combat choosing the best
-4 in close combat
Takes 2 Gory Deaths to put it down

Lesser Elder God:
Actions:  3
Move:  6"
Immune to all Morale and Gut Checks
Rolls 4 dice in close combat choosing the best
-6 in close combat
Takes 4 Gory Deaths to put it down
Causes Terror withing sight (1/2 Morale Check)

Now these were just characteristics off the top of my head before the game but our pal JC has some great more detailed rules for Cthulhu-esq games in BGWWWII.

Thanks Brian,

In fact, I'm very interested in a super-natural WWII more than a super-science (maybe the only super-science I like is the Victorian age) and a Cthulhu rules will be perfect for my weekend games XD

Where can I get these Cthulhu rules?

Regards!

Sure...
If you want it cheap, you might consider designing your own paper models. That should be even cheaper than balsa wood.
Have a look here for an inspiration how it could look like
