Title: Disputes of the Gods (OGAM) The Norse Gods so far... (08/04)
Post by: Mason on June 18, 2017, 09:20:13 AM
This Summer should see the start of a bit of God-gaming in our group at last.
 :D

We started looking at Of Gods And Mortals some three years or so ago when it was first released, but one thing or another kept getting in the way.
Well, now it seems that we are actually going to get started.

I shall be initially be putting together two factions: The Greeks and The Norse.
I have a pretty good head start on these two factions as I have been slowly gathering figures to the cause which will see as little effort as possible needed to get things going. I shall also be raiding my existing collection to make life easier.
I know my mojo is a fickle thing at the moment so I want to make sure this project actually happens (just ask my ACW Rebs what happens when I dont... ::)).
To this end I have been picking up painted figures that require little effort to finish them off to add to the force and am counting on the basing to bring them all together as a coherent force.

First up will be the Greeks, as I have plenty of figures in hand to get started.
Here are the first few units that have been assembled this weekend....

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/859950a8-59b4-4483-9bdf-a3cb9a8fbcc8_zpscmcvhirg.jpg)



First up are a very small unit of Hoplites, which can also be used to bolster other units if points need to be spent.....

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/d12f5383-320e-4dea-b015-ba98326dc75f_zpsry8mmkqm.jpg)

...those shield transfers go a long way when cutting corners.



And a unit of Undead Spearmen......

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/8a77d85b-3d76-44c1-99ae-4975685ddbab_zpsv4jkkaio.jpg)

....as I intend to use Hades as one of the God options and they will work well with one of the Legends that will join the force later. There will also be more Skellies added soon as well.
 ;)


Next up, some Satyrs.....

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/afac2b77-f7c4-4fe4-b8da-99227980ab4d_zpsibfpnhd9.jpg)

........stolen from my Mordheim Beastmen warband, which will be donating quite a few as another God to be added will be Pan.




The first of the Legends, The Minotaur....

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/7c6c6a6a-f880-4c70-8407-609464e93c30_zpsipohidqi.jpg)

...another Mordheim escapee.




And finally for now, Chiron The Centaur.....

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/993b4496-6737-45c6-9d8a-a8fe1a6ccf21_zps2az2iki3.jpg)

....who is on a very exaggerated base, but which will be a theme for the Legends to help them stand out from the Mortals.
Both Chiron and The Minotaur also work well in the 'Beasts of the Forest' force I plan to use with Pan.

More to come soon.....

Rui: Those Rebs will be done. Some of them even have some paint on them, although none are finished yet.

Sorting these figures out for OGAM is starting to help me get my mojo back, though, so it may be sooner than I thought.
Fingers crossed!

Thanks, but I cannot really claim any 'brilliant idea' points with that one.
I took them in natural light in front of the window and they were very overexposed. so I reduced the lighting levels in Photobucket so that you could see them better.
The 'vignette' frame was my idea though, to try and blend the result into something more acceptable.

I have made the same mistake again with the latest additions but will use the same method so that they appear similar before posting them later.
After that I had better sort out the settings on the camera or take them under artificial lighting as I normally would, methinks....
 ;)


AH  ;D

Silly boy!

The offending articles....


Introducing the newest additions to the Greek force, Jason and the Argonauts....

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/699ecd09-ca88-4e7f-820c-4b13c711efd4_zpsbak43wpa.jpg)


Jason himself....

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/cb43ce2c-d257-482e-9493-75c77301d6a0_zps9c3f8jx5.jpg)

 ......using the Generic Greek Hero profile, although I may also use him as Achilles as an alternative option.
I am also considering putting him on a larger base to match the other Legends, maybe a sabot so that he can be removed.




The Argonauts ....

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/98f337bf-4934-4920-a6c3-8ae11448b675_zps0kwx31lj.jpg)

 ....using the Spartan Hoplite profile to make them a slightly more 'elite' option as opposed to standard Hoplites.




And with the rest of the Greek force so far......

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/ca320f0a-27a0-4e94-9a84-6c548d6f96e0_zpsvbesbsxp.jpg)


There are more Undead and Satyrs to be added soon.

Getting there......

Eric,
The ones I have in mind are old (80's) Citadel Beastmen, so we are on the same wavelength, just a few decades apart.

I look forward to seeing yours when the time comes.

I have planned on doing this little project for ages now and have been stockpiling the figures for a few years.
The Argonauts are from Foundry. You can find them here:

Most unlikely.
I am not sure which days I can be at BLAM this year so am not committing to anything yet.
I dont really think OGAM would work for a participation game although I could be wrong.

Anyway, I think this 'subject' has already been 'claimed' for BLAM.

I didn't recognise them as the Foundry ones despite being pretty familiar with them (apparently not that familiar though). I actually thought they looked better than the Foundry ones. A testament to the paintjobs!

That is one of the best things about OGAM, plenty of variety of painting subjects.

I am looking forward to the Gods.

Work continues on the Greeks with three more Satyrs, four Skeletons and a sabot base for Jason/Achilles/Another Greek Hero just awaiting their bases colouring in and pimping, which should happen tonight.

Super, super job on these. Really fine brush work.

Just in case you may not have been aware, Grand Manner does offer a very nice 28mm Argos ship that would look really good with these guys as an accessory or beach landing scenario.

Thanks for the tip, I was not aware of that.

Not sure how much any ships will figure in this project, though.
In fact, scenery for this will very much be of the 'natural' variety that is already in my collection: Rocks, woods, rivers etc...

I may do one piece of thematic scenery for each faction, though.
For the Greeks, I guess a Temple of some sort would be appropriate.

The weird thing is, my first thought was ruined temple.
But...it would not be ruined at this 'time', would it?

Anyways, back to the figures: I have finished the last seven of the Satyrs and the final four Skellies. All based and done.
Just need to take a piccie or two later and then think about what to do next.....

Well, here they are, starting with the Skellies.

I need quite a few Skeletons if I am going to use Hades as the God of a Greek force as half of the Mortals in his force MUST be Undead. Twelve should be sufficient for the time being. If we decode to play bigger battles I have a few more in hand.

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/18822cff-8527-4af0-96ea-88741108780c_zpskr4uexet.jpg~original)

More Old Skool Citadel Beastmen escapees from my Mordheim warband, rebased and repurposed for OGAM.

Again, I need quite a few as, if I want to use Pan as an option to lead them as I do, then you must have at least half of the points of the force allocated to Centaurs, Satyrs and Dryads. Which means that I still need some Centaurs.....

The skellies above are Citadel plastics.
I couldn't find the Foundry Skellies for a while until I discovered they had been moved over to the Warmonger Miniatures label:

https://www.warmongerminiatures.com/collections/undead

There are some interesting things in that range including some Plague Doctors which I have a few of and did not know where they came from. I have been converting them to add some numbers to one of my Necromunda gangs, the ABC Warriors.

Jason/Achilles/Another Greek Hero on his new sabot base so that he looks more like a Legend and less like just another Mortal.

Them bubbles are looking good Mason :o. I especially love Jason and the Argonauts, as well as the hoplites. The shields for all the infantry are lip-gurningly gorgeous :-*.

My motley band progresses, 8 norse warriors done with six nobles almost finished, as well as 4 berserkers and a Norn in production. Started putting the Otherword frost giant together, and will soon do the same with the Northstar Odin, then need to paint up the big snake from the Conan game for the serpent of Midgard, and I'l be ready to face your Greek hordes.

Good news, mate!
You have certainly been churning them out lately.
Not too long, eh?

I had better hurry up with some Gods or you will be waiting for me!
 :D

I have now added Athena to the list of my intended Greek God options, as I have the ideal subject for a conversion, I reckon.
I know where I am going with Pan now as well, I just need to source the parts.
Oh, and Dryads will be being thrown into the mix as well.
You may have guessed that a rummage in my bits box has been quite fruitful.
 ;)

So that means I have a small list for additions to the Greeks as follows:

Ares/Hades (Depends on how I feel when converting the North Star model)
Pan (To source and convert/sculpt.
Athena (Minor conversion/sculpt to do on an existing model)
Dryads (Again, minor work)
Centaurs (purchase or convert, undecided at present.
Harpies (Old Skool Citadel classics to strip and paint)

So, it will be a while before I move on to my own Norse.....

Hi Mason,
Just now found some time to follow up this thread and admire your excellent work!
Beyond my admiration some tips that might be useful to enrich your collection:

1.- temple ruins: Greek history is always old and full of adventures, so, it is easy to find  on every given time at least some ruins to place them your figures. Not to mention the abandoned pieces everywhere. Please do not hesitate to use complete and/or ruined architecturals to enrich your terrain/bases etc.

2.- Pan was never a "warrior" god he was a goatlegged "Human" who enjoyed himself with satyrs and maenads. The only one figure I think it exists (I am not sure about foundry) it is one of Willie figures (http://www.traditionoflondonshop.com/en/product_info.php?products_id=9274&p=A_18_Pan_with_Goats_Legs_30mm_Willie_Foot_Kit ) marketed by Tradition of London
Not the best figure as I can judge from their photo. It's listed as 30mm, so, it might suit you.
It seems also that it comes open handed, so an easy conversion for talented people like you.

3.- Maenads (possibly those Dryads you mention) are raged  females armed with knives ready to massacre anyone to disturb their rituals!

and a question:
I like very much the "sabot base" you use for Jason. Is it scratchbuilt and what part you used for the ruined column?

argsilverson:
Thanks for taking the time for such a lengthy response.
 :)

Regarding your points raised...


Regarding Pan...
I am planning a fairly 'human-sized' God and am aware of his 'frolicking'  and have something in mind for him, I just need to either find the appropriate parts for the planned option or maybe use this fella, which I am leaning towards as it would make life quicker and easier...

(http://otherworldminiatures.co.uk/figures/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/satyr2-200x200.jpg)

As for Maenads: I also have something in mind for my Dryad option that I found in my bits box yesterday, with the added bonus of already having them, being very easy to convert and fitting in nicely with the planned option for Pan, I think they should fit the bill nicely.
 ;)


The Sabot base: It is simply a plain 40mm resin lipped base that I have added a broken column and a little green stuff which I pressed the figures base into to create a depression that he sits in firmly and then covered the resulting mess in scenic materials to disguise the join. Easy.
I do not recall where the column cane from, but can confirm it is an existing resin piece from somewhere. Sorry.



Ruins: That is a good point that Greece has an extremely long history so that ruins are still an option.
I may use this earlier piece that I made for Mordheim.

I know the Weeping Angels are not exactly Greek but I figure that this is Mythology so I could probably get away with it. That hammer shaped headstone would also be easy to cover or shorten. It would save me having to build anything new from scratch at the very least.
 ;)

I am not too sure that my versions will fit the description of Maenids, which seem much more 'frenzied' than what I have in mind, which are more along the lines of Dryads.
Something like this, maybe....

Maybe 15mm scale columns would work..?

Well, I went back through the thread earlier and used the 'fix' on the broken Photobucket links.
How long this lasts, we shall see.
 ::)

As for continuing, there is plenty more to come.
I have a sizable amount of the Norse faction that just need rebasing, including warriors, Dvergar, Undead.
Also a few Legends and Gods for both Norse and Greek are sitting in the paint queue, beginning with Pan, whose 'donor body' arrived yesterday and Hades who will be based on the North Star Ares figure.

I hope to have an update for this by the end of the week.

Reverting to some earlier discussion about missing Gods etc, i must say that Eureka miniatures has a Pan, some armed satyrs and centaurs that might fill your gaps.
see the range: http://eurekamin.com.au/index.php?cPath=87_126_715&sort=3a

Thanks for the suggestions, but I think I have those units covered now.
The Satyrs are done, and I have found the parts that I was looking for to make the Centaurs and Dryads as well as a figure that will form a very solid base for me to work on for Pan.

Lovely stuff already in this thread.

I pulled out my random Greek stuff (as you've distracted and/or inspired me) and see I nearly have 900 points (will gather the rest and also start a thread too). Damn (wargaming) butterfly effect (at least it's nearly all painted).

How many points are you working towards (sorry if I missed it, late to the party)?

There's a Kickstarter in this: "Petty Disputes of the Gods" with Zeus in slippers and dressing gown (bathrobe) and Odin in a pair of shorts and Led Zeppelin t-shirt.

Getting back to the miniatures though (I know, my fault!) would any of the 54mm Greeks that Irregular Miniatures do be useful for constructs (painted as stone or bronze?),  demi-gods and the like?

I do not have a target point.
I am simply adding what I like to each faction until I think I have 'enough'.
What 'enough' means is subject to change, of course.

That is a good idea, but I do think that I have 'enough' Greeks for now, once I finish the other figures* that I found in my leadpile and bits box last week....




* Figures found in the leadpile/bits box last week (whilst digging for something else, of course) include all the parts needed for my planned Centaurs and Dryads, three Harpies that need stripping, a new (better) Minotaur, a perfect figure to use as Athena and a couple of figures to add to the Norse faction as well.
That little lot, along with what I already have, should keep me busy for some time, I reckon.

Title: Re: Disputes of the Gods (OGAM) Generic Greek Heroes....
Post by: Mason on July 25, 2017, 04:49:11 PM
Three new additions to the Greeks, Generic Heroes.

These were courtesy of a trade with LeadAsbestos. which just needed a little finishing off and rebasing to fit in with my existing forces. These are Bronze Age miniatures and are slightly taller than the rest of the troops, so will make ideal Legends.

These will be used as whatever Greek Hero I need at the time....

The addition of the new Heroes does mean that the 'Hero' formerly known as Jason is now just A.N.Other Argonaut now as he is a fair bit smaller than the new 'Primaris' Heroes.
His sabot base is not going to waste, though, as another one of the things that LeadAsbestos sent me in that trade was an almost finished Medusa who will be joining the Faction as soon as I have her finished. She fits nicely on that base with the ruined pillar.

Athena looks like she will be ready for painting first as I am almost finished the conversion work on her.

Post by: Mason on August 13, 2017, 07:29:49 PM
Athena looks like she will be ready for painting first as I am almost finished the conversion work on her.

I finally found the time to finish the conversion for Athena.
She has been slightly reworked from a Rogue Miniatures Britannia:

(http://www.rogueminiatures.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/b/r/brittfront.jpg)

I removed the trident as I wanted that for someone else (guess who?) and swapped it for a spear from an old Citadel Melnibonean. The Melnibonean will become a new recruit for my Eldar Pirate gang so nothing wasted there.
 ;)

The weapon swap resulted in a little rebuilding work being needed on the arm and cloak and the other side needed to be done as well in order to match up.
The shield also got an owl added over the top of the engraved Union Jack.

Here she is before I go waving at brush in her direction....

The owl on the shield is based on this ancient tetradrachm coin from approx. 480-420 BC...

Luckily this thread is both short enough and fairly recent so I had all the pictures on my current laptop and it was not too much of a chore to restore.

As for that sabot base: Poor old Jason is now been relegated to the role of A.N. Other Argonaut with the arrival of the Bronze Age Miniatures Heroes, but the base has been nabbed by Medusa who is almost done and will probably form the next update.

That's some brilliant work mate. The new bases look really good with the growies and pillars and whatnot.

The ruined temple looks like a great start. Yes I said START.  >:D
You could use it as an inner court of a larger temple complex, perhaps a few freestanding movable pillars (Hirstarts or aquarium/Ebay) placed 40mm around it would cap it off? It would certainly be a small item to pack/move but be large enough for scenic fights that way.

The skellies and beastmen are the exact vibe I have in my mind for a fantasy DnD enemies, I really like the rusty weapons mate.

Just to prove that I have not forgotten this project, here is a Cyclops that I have slowly been converting from a Bones ogre, adding left over green stuff to him as I work on other things.

Gotta keep my finger in this particular pie to make sure it gets completed.
I only need to finish painting Athena and I have a viable painted force to get a game in.
Just need to find the time to finish slapping her colours on, is all....

Title: Re: Disputes of the Gods (OGAM) Athena...
Post by: Mason on December 01, 2017, 04:01:09 PM
It has been a while but I finally got around to slapping paint on Athena yesterday.
She was originally going to be all white but I thought that looked a little boring so went for a blue cloak and crest to brighten her up a little.

I have yet to finish the basing so that she fits in with the rest of the Greeks as I could not find the bloody bases that I had bought specifically for Gods in OGAM.
I have found them now, though.....Sod's Law.
 ::)

Anyway, here she is, which now means that I can field a fully painted force from the Greek pantheon.
There is more to add to the faction but I am happy to get going with what I have for now.

I started slapping paint on the Cyclops when I had finished and only then did I realise that the Bones figures are more detailed than they first appear.

I had not noticed the face carved on the club until paint had been used, even though it can be seen in the earlier picture (a bit more conversion has occurred since then, I should add).

That will have to go now, I think.
Or not?
What do you reckon: Too 'fantasy looking' with it?

Have to agree with you, Mason. The face on the club is slightly silly; your Cyclops (which is looking splendid, by the way) doesn't need such frippery,

Athena has had her new base fitted and finished (I say finished, although there is an addition that I want to make when I find it...).
I wanted her on this base as I am opting to base all of the figures for OGAM on a specific base size to correspond to their rank, so Mortals will all be on 26mm, Legends on 40mm and Gods on 60mm rounds to make it clear what they are when playing.
It should also help to unify everything visually, I hope.

Anyway, here she is....

I am really enjoying working on this project at the moment and have decided to make the most of the 'Return of the Mojo' by attempting to finish the Greeks that I have before attempting the Norse, which are next on the list.
I have dug through the pile and now have the parts for Centaurs, some Dryads and another Legend or two to add to the force.

I had already started work on a Hades conversion that needs finishing but, in traditional Butterfly style, have started work on Pan instead.
 ::) o_o

Pan will be another conversion from an existing figure in the pile, but to make matters even more complicated I began work on the base he will be sitting on first.....

Well, Pan is almost finished, just his horns and ears to do now....

I probably would have finished him if the Way of the Butterfly had not struck again and I hadn't drifted off on another tangent and finished the conversions of the Dryads first....

Another package arrived in the post today, so Apollo has to be added to the Greek 'to do' list as well.

Nothing new to add at the moment (I have not even finished painting Pan yet...  ::) ) but I did have to take all of the Greeks out of their cabinet earlier so I took the opportunity for a quick group shot so far....


(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/32/4805-160418171613.png)


The above mentioned cabinet re-arrangement did make it clear to me that the Greeks are almost finished, though, as I only have space for two more Gods (with Pan being one of the two) and one more Legend.
There is no room for any more Greek Mortal units at the moment, although I have the parts for, and really want to make, the Centaurs....

So, the Greeks are nearly done, for now.

Time to start sorting out the Norse, I guess....

Steal away. It is easy enough to do and I think the result is worth the effort.

We got a game in earlier, my Greeks led by Athena were up against Legionnaire Bert's Norse under the command of Odin.
Good fun was had, especially when we had not one, not two but THREE 'Clash of the Titans' moments between the two Gods.
There was much 'Awe-Inspiring' action all round.
 ;)

I managed to take a couple of pictures during the game, which I will post tomorrow morning.
 :)



Title: Re: Disputes of the Gods (OGAM) A Few Game Pics...... (20/04)...
Post by: Mason on April 20, 2018, 07:48:03 AM
Well, only three pictures were actually worth posting, so here they are.


First up, the main clash involving several units. The face off between the Armoured Hoplites and the Norse Warriors was fiercely contested and drawing to a conclusion. The Norse Berserker unit had just been finished off by the intervention of Athena into the fray.
Odin's arrival was about to tip the balance once more....

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/32/4805-200418004904.jpeg)




The other side of the battle line saw the Frost Giant, Niels, heavily outnumbered by Drunken Satyrs, with 'Stavros the Incompetent' calling advice from the sidelines, and rather alarmingly about to be rear ended by that snake-haired, evil-eyed wench, Medusa.....would he become a 'Stone Giant'?

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/32/4805-200418005146.jpeg)



Late in day and a true 'Clash of the Titans', literally. Three drawn combats on the trot, with the resulting thunder and lightning causing all the Mortals in the vicinity to experience serious migraines with the sheer 'Awe' of the spectacle.
And, as they say 'it aint over 'til the fat lady sings'.....but she had arrived and was warming up in the background!

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/32/4805-200418005224.jpeg)


We had a great game, with some notable casualties on both sides, until proceedings were called to a halt by a call from Freya, who had returned from bingo to find her husband was not in the mead hall as he was supposed to be, but was busy arguing with 'that Greek bint' again!

Great stuff. Really good to see these in action on the tabletop.

Thank you, sir.
Your games have been an inspiration and helped me to get back to this project.
Which I am very grateful for as I am really enjoying be back in the land of mythology.

I hate it when that happens !  ;) lol
Nice write up Paul,minis look great  :-*

Post by: Mason on April 21, 2018, 11:45:05 AM
Work has begun on getting the Norse faction together.
I am mostly using existing figures from my collection for the Norse Mortals, making small alterations and repainting bits here and there where necessary to tie them all together and then rebasing them.

I am actually working on all of the Mortals at the same time, along with the first two Legends, and will be posting them as they are finished.

First up to pose for the camera is a small unit of Dvergar (Norse Dwarves) who will be acting as the Housecarls to their Smith Lord....

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/32/4805-200418005309.jpeg)

These were painted by  The Lockswin and I grabbed the chance to get hold of them when they were offered.
He has done a cracking job, I did very little other than rebasing them onto 'snow' bases.
(Yep, snow, not 'white or unpainted!  ;D).

Next up is their 'Smith'....

The Mordheim/Krappefortt refugees.
Formerly a band of Kislevites for Mordheim, they then moved on to Frostgrave (hence these fellas already had snowy bases), but have now ventured to the realm of Mythology where, hopefully, they will see more action.
Seeing as how they only saw one game each in their previous incarnations, that may not be too difficult.
Anyway, back to the current situation....

This is the first unit of human Mortals for the Norse and can be used as Berserkers, Warriors or Nobles, depending on what is needed.
As all of the human Mortal unit have their own distinct character this will not be an issue.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/32/4805-230418073047.jpeg)



Consisting mainly of long OOP Citadel figures, these boys are full of character and I am glad that they have found a new place to cause mischief.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/32/4805-230418073115.jpeg)




As these chaps were the first Norse unit finished they have kind of set the tone for the rest of the force, so I will probably be repainting aspects of the other units to include more red as a feature colour.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/32/4805-230418073150.jpeg)


A unit of Daneaxe wielding lunatics shall be next up, I reckon.....

Next up are another human Mortal unit, which again could be any of the human types but I think that I will lean towards Nobles, although they could easily be Berserkers as they carry mahoosive axes!

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/32/4805-230418073214.jpeg)


They were originally painted by Majorsmith and LeadAsbestos. They have had minor changes made to them and rebasing to match the rest of the Norse faction, of course. I may go back and add the odd red detail to tie them into the other predominantly red units, but am undecided on that at the moment.

Some closer shots of the menacing looking bunch...

Ah, but I have three of yours so maybe the Hero that is due up next is the other one.

There are a few more elves for Santa, but next up is the first Legend, a human Hero to lead them (using the generic Human Hero stats provided for the Greeks). I guess I will need a few of those as every force needs a few human heroes.....and I can also make use of some nice character figures that are a little different to the standard warriors.

The aforementioned Human Legend*.........

I am tempted to change that swirl on his shield to a red version to help him blend in a little more.
(Which has since been done. see page 16 for new version).

There is also a bit of space on his base to add a little something.
Any suggestions?




*Using the Generic Greek Hero stats, which probably should be read as Generic Human Hero, I reckon.

The Draughr.

Simple repaints of LotR Army of the Dead figures, heavily washed (they are actually a little darker than this in reality) with green 'flesh' areas as I think it looked better than simple pale flesh.

Those Army of the Dead figures work quite well for me as this a strictly mythologocal' project so I am not worried whether they fit any historical trope.
Like I said, I may add a few more as units can be up to eight strong, so having at least another four to take them up to at least two full units.

Other than that there is only one more unit of Mortals to add at the moment, more human warriors, until my Trolls from the Bronze Age Kickstarter arrive.
Looking forward to those!
 :D

After that it is time to add a few more Legends to the force....beginning with Fenrir and a Frost Giant.

I think that I mentioned that I had started thinking about some Egyptians now that the Norse have been pretty much been collected as I have now added two Giants, Fenrir, four Trolls, two Valkyries and three Gods to the to-do pile. That should keep me busy for a while......

Well, here is the first proper offering in the Egyptian God Department....Sobek!

I originally converted him for another project but have had an epiphany and decided to rebase him onto an 'OGAM  God Base*' as I think he would make an ideal Sobek with the right paint job.

Fingers crossed it works!

It is indeed a Bones Direwolf, and I reckon he scales up just right as a 'monstrous wolf' against the humans.
And, you are right, it should be in all animal menageries.
At that price it would be silly not to.

Yep, being Bones it would certainly be easy to convert as cutting this stuff is so easy.
I just chopped off the ridiculously oversized base (that seems to be a 'thing' with Bones miniatures) and rebuilt it to fit nicely on the 40mm bases that I am using for Legends in OGAM.

Nice Legend Paul,Hrothgar Pie-eater!  lol

For some reason I see him as more of a 'Jimmy' than a 'Hrothgar' for some reason....

Oh, and I just remembered that comparison shot that I promised, so I shall go and take one now and pop it up later.
D'oh!

Post by: Mason on July 21, 2018, 09:25:08 AM
I have given up with painting Pan.

It has simply become a pain as I have a mental block of some sort to finishing him how I wanted to.
I have taken the easy option and just 'darkened' him with washes to cover up all the mistakes that I have made and hope that it just passes off as 'twilight Pan' or similar.

Here he is....

..with his accompanying Dryads...

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/34/4805-180718194955.jpeg)


He will do for me for now.
I will go back and sort out those eyes, but not until I am ready to face him again....

At least I can get him on to the table leading his forces now!

I am itching to add a few more things to my own project as soon as I get the next band for the Lemonade Wars painted this week.
Seeing as how one of the gang on my painting board is a squirrel it has (and seeing IWNic's version on Facebook) has gotten me thinking on doing my own version of Ratatoskr for my Norse.

Well,now that I have finished painting the Lemonade Wars critturs, here is the base miniature upon which Ratatoskr will be worked from....

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/35/4805-300818184603.jpeg)

Of course he will not be wielding a lead pipe (which rather helpfully is separate, along with the hands) or wearing a postman's hat.
I did say he was a big chap...that is a 26mm base that he is on.

A little green stuff will be involved and I am not too sure just how 'comedy' I will go with him.
We shall see....

Anyway, I have not forgotten this project, far from it.
I have been adding more to the 'to do' pile, with Celts and Norse Trolls joining the (rather long) queue and have continued plugging away at a few conversions whilst pushing putty in other directions.

Here is a little something that is almost finished....HADES!

He is based on the North Star Ares figure with a new arm holding Hades two-pronged fork (taken from the Britannia figure that became Athena), a slightly reworked head and a few minor embellishments to cover the joins, he is almost finished.
He just needs his cloak tidied up and a small amount of work on his 'God-Bag'* and belt buckle and he will be done.
I hope to be able to get a brush on him soon....

*A 'God Bag' is like a 'man-bag', only bigger.
It still does not have the capacity for carrying that an average lady's handbag does however....

It will be nothing special, just me attempting to paint something in a style/manner/technique that I have not really dabbled with before is all.

It took me a while to decide what to use for the Norns as I wanted to avoid the 'hag' or 'witch' look as the Norns never really seem to be portrayed this way.
Once I saw these figures amongst some other Vikings that that thoroughly decent chap Comsquare had offered me, I had to have them. So he sent them to me.
Top Man!
Cheers, much appreciated.

They began life as Asgerd, Fenja and Brynhildr in the Foundry Viking Villagers pack...

,,,but a little work with the saw to remove the child and milk jug, and a fair bit of green stuff to repair the damage and add some cloaks and hoods turned them into what I was looking for.

Here are the Norns pre-paint....

Now I just need to figure out how to base them properly....

...as I forgot that these count as Legends and I have been basing them on 40mm lipped bases for identification but that would be a little bit of overkill with these lasses, I reckon.
Also, I am unlikely to ever field three individual Norns at once, so I may add all three to the same base as that may look quite good.
Maybe some kind of Sabot basing or similar.
Hmmm....

Title: Re: Disputes of the Gods (OGAM) Norns conversions finished.. (15/10)
Post by: Hu Rhu on October 17, 2018, 08:45:05 PM
Nice conversions and a good idea about the sabot base if you want all three on one base.  Alternatively if you want them use them individually, then place them on separate bases but put a piece of scenery on the base with them so that they don't look too out of place on the big bases.

Completely sidetracked again, so much so that we have now swerved into a totally new Faction this time: The Celts!

Having a little tidy up of my cabinets, I discovered a few figures that are in my Strange Aeons collection that would not object too much to doing a 'Bosman' over to the OGAM cupboard.
None of them have, or will see too much action in SA (but can still see service if needs be) so it is no great hardship.

A little bit of work rebasing her as a Celt Legend and we have the first victim....

Hi Eric,

My friend Neil has written a very nice and well research Maori list, replete with Polynesian mythology, which I have faced in battle.  There's a draft copy of it on the OGAM Facebook group.  Can you access that?

If not, let me know and I might be able to get a copy to you.

I recently picked up some GW Arcane Ruins with the idea of making use of them for OGAM, Strange Aeons and other fantasy settings (although they could be used pretty much anywhere).

They needed a fair amount of work with green stuff before they could be used as all of the joins on them were awful and really obvious (why did they not design them to join at the edges is beyond me....  ::)).

I also got hold of some of the leaves from the GW Woods as I wanted to see if an idea to add them to the ruins would work.

(The Stormcast in the picture belong to a friend as they needed a fair bit of remedial work as there were gaps in some very prominent places, particularly on the shoulder armour and a whole section of leg was missing too! I figured that they could quite easily be done at the same time).

Anyway, once the repairs were done the ruins were placed on top of some cut up pizza base inscribed with 'paving' and on to an MDF base. Then the leaf sections were added....


(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/36/4805-151118235419.jpeg)

A coating of paint mixed with PVA bond was slapped all over them to help seal them and hold them together, followed by a lot of drybrushing and a few washes for colour and definition.
Sand, static grass and a few tufts were then added to the base and they were done.

Green stuff work aside, they were pretty quick and easy, and should prove pretty versatile for a lot of different games so I am happy with them.

And the added bonus is we are going to use them in our next game of OGAM where units will be able to use them to 'teleport' between them on the battlefield, but that is another story.....

At eighteen quid for a set and you can make quite a few scenic pieces from them, I reckon they are great.
I still has has the needle/obilisk to make and the set also comes with a base piece , which I would have found useful but I do not have this section, so I think that they are a winner.
To be honest, i think that the scenery kits are the best thing that GW do, value-wise, and have a fair few bits of it.
The removal of skulls is sometimes necessary, but the kits are worth a little effort, in my opinion.




Really like those  :-*

Well, it has been a while since a proper addition to the project, but here is Hades, Lord of the Underworld.....

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/36/4805-231218130039.jpeg)

I went for a really 'dark' colour scheme for the figure itself, befitting his nature, whilst keeping the base matching the rest of the Greek faction, which made it an absolute bugger to take a decent picture of, so this will have to do. He does look better to the naked eye but I cannot get anything better than this at the moment.

Hades takes the Greeks up to three Gods, which will do for now as the Norse do not have any yet, so it will be their turn for a while.

I decided to simply base them all together as the Norns are must always known as just that.
I have not heard of them mentioned as a single person, so I figured that they should all be seen together,

Gamewise, I will probably only have one in the force but having three figures on the base will not be a problem as long as I inform my opponent that they actually only represent one 'Norn'.



I also must confess that I think they look better that way and that was the ultimate reason that I went for all three together.

Post by: Mason on December 29, 2018, 10:25:22 AM
Well, it has been a while, but we got a game in yesterday.

Hades led his Greeks against the Mighty Odin and his Norse.

A shot of the field of battle before it all kicked off....

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/36/4805-291218015633.jpeg)


...and a shot across the heat filled haze from the point of view of the Greek poet Yapssalotable....

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/36/4805-291218015759.jpeg)



It was great game, that swayed back and forth a few times, but Odin turned out to be a true force to be reckoned with, eventually accounting for most of the Greek force on his own....leaving only Hades and Medusa to run off into the sunset together at the end of the game.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/36/4805-291218015718.jpeg)


No more pictures were taken once we got started but we did use the 'Gates' from an earlier post....

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/36/4805-151118235039.jpeg)

...with a unit beginning its move in contact with a 'Gate' base having the option of using an Action to pass through the 'Gate' and then appearing at one of the other two, chosen at random, which proved to be great fun.
Give it a go at it will be worth it, I assure you.

The gates were a good laugh, adding an interesting and unpredictable twist to the game, but we wont be using them every game as they will soon lose their novelty value.
We have played a few games since without them, which have convinced me that I need to enlarge the size of some of the Greek Mortal units due to rampaging Norsemen.

So, bearing that in mind, a few more Undead Warriors and Satyrs have been rebased so that they can be added to the force.....

Hades and his followers.....

And Pan's People....

I have plans for a few factions of Celts based around various Gods and this fella will give a chance to build an 'evil' looking force around him, with Warriors, Druid Fanatics and appropriate Legend that fit the bill.

I saw this figure and thought it would work as good example of Crom in his wormlike form.
He is a big fella as that is a 60mm base that he is on!

Keep up the good work  :)

Cheers, mate.

nice work Paul.
Please, could you show us a comparison scale with a 28mm.

it looks to me small on the pictures... ;D

Cheers
Eric

OK, Eric, I will when the camera is next out for an airing.

He is a big fella but not overly large as I do not want anything to be too big on the table (although I may make an exception for Norse Giants).
I wont be using the Gargantuan Trait for him, for example, he is just a big fella and let us not forget that most of him is still underground.

Ok i understand your point of view.
As Huge, he needs to be quite large on the tabletop.
Then, I have done mine (see here (http://chti-reanimator59.blogspot.com/2017/06/re-animator-en-ver-et-contre-tout.html)) by scratchbuilding to reach a good size for cheap !  lol lol lol

Blimey!
That is a big boy!
 :o

Well, like I said, my version fits the aesthetic I was aiming for and he could really be any size as he is emerging from the ground.

Here is a picture I found on the web illustrating his size....

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/38/4805-250319160313.jpeg)

His mouth is large enough to swallow a human whole, so that is huge enough for my liking!

It is a Reaper Bones Carrion Worm, which had a couple of hideous mould lines on it which I could not be bothered to cut off so they were cunningly disguised by the 'dirt' I have slapped on him.

Whilst Freya is still waiting patiently for some attention I have been diverted into making something new for the Greeks...

This is a figure that I have converted whilst working on some High Elves/Melniboneans.
This will be cast up and have plastic Amazon heads added to form a bodyguard for Athena as all the other Greek Gods have specific bodyguard units attached to them (Satyrs for Pan and Undead Warriors for Hades)...

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/40/4805-230819234910.jpeg)

The shields will be attached once painted and have been made to compliment the one on Athena herself....

Well, I now have the Amazon bodies and shields in hand and some female Hoplite heads, so they are now in the queue along with everything else....

Something did jump the queue yesterday, though, a BIG something: Cerberus!

He arrived yesterday morning, fresh from the Bears Head Miniatures Kickstarter and, as I was working on some other critturs at the time, he barged his way in.

He did have to have a little work done, in order that he would fit on a 40mm base like the rest of my Legends, but other than that he is pretty much fresh from the box.

A quick paintjob, mostly drybrushing and washes, and he is ready to go.

A couple of crap photos of him, with the light doing its usual thing for me at the moment, including one with a 28mm skellie so you can see just how big he is....

Seeing as how I seem to have stalled on Freya a little (and also wanting to get the Norse playable as soon as possible, for which I need a God!) I have just finished making a few alterations to my choice for Thor.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/43/4805-210120225123.jpeg)

The only alterations are adding a tunic and troos to the base model to hide his otherwise nekkid parts as he will be based in the usual 'snow' base for the Norse, and exposed arms and legs seemed a little daft considering that....

He should be on the painting table soon.

Title: Re: Disputes of the Gods (OGAM) Pan Mk2 WIP.... (21/04)
Post by: Mason on April 21, 2020, 01:12:05 PM
I was never really happy with the original conversion that I did for Pan some time back so I was always on the lookout for another option.
Having seen the a lovely example of the Mythic Battle Pantheon version posted on the OGAM FB page I thought that I would grab one of those.
Lovely though he was, I had two problems with him...

Firstly he was just too BIG!
He would tower over all of my other Gods (which I could just about live with as he does have 'Tremble Before My Might!') but mainly because he would not fit on a double shelf in my cabinet.

Also, I was not too keen on the fur on his legs, the 'clumps' of hair just looked too chunky and clumpy.
Luckily the first problem was solved as I wanted to use the original base that I had made with him sitting down. A quick snip of the legs and a little repositioning sorted that problem. It just meant that I would have to fill the gaps, which was not really a problem as I wanted to re-sculpt the furry legs to give them finer strands.
 ;)

Anyway, enough waffle, here he is with the base layers of his flesh areas started...

He came out pretty good in the end, especially given that I had 'tried' to colour both Pan and Thor in on at least half a dozen occasions and ended up being sidetracked with something else each time.....got there in the end, though!

Well here she is almost finished, I just have to sort out the fit on the yoke and I can begin slapping paint on before I make the base....
I hope she lives up to your billing.

Freya and Cat-Chariot WIP.

I finally pulled my finger out and got on with Freya and her cat-powered chariot.

You may, if you saw the earlier version, notice that Freya is a new model.
She is the Valkyrie-type from the Wargames Foundry Viking Legends set who has been told to dress appropriately for the job in hand. It will be a little cold on her snowy base.
 ;)

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/47/4805-290720221527.jpeg)



(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/47/4805-290720221637.jpeg)

The first version of Freya will now be used as Sif, as she looks far less 'warlike'.


A shot of the base figure...

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/47/4805-290720221736.jpeg)

(The chap on the left will be used as Odin, whilst the big lad on the right joins the Celt pile).



The chariot itself s a modified 4Ground Celt conveyance, greenstuffed to attempt to make it look more 'natural', something that has been magically created rather than constructed...

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/47/4805-290720221420.jpeg)




The 'Cats' are based on GW Gryph Hounds with heads from the old Citadel Pan Tang Tygers and, obviously, a liberal slapping of green stuff all round.

Very nicely done.  8)

The cats have turned out great, although I think I would balk at beheading those classic Pan Tangian kitties...  :o

Sure... here they are: http://pippoweb.blogspot.com/search/label/OGAM (http://pippoweb.blogspot.com/search/label/OGAM)
I did also Slepinr (2 of them actually) long time ago... I always liked OGAM.

That is great, pws, very inspirational.
I like the fact that you have done 'foot and mounted' versions too!

I have no qualms about doing that sort of thing, although it was easy in this case as I had already lopped them off some time ago to use the bodies for something else.

Re-reinforcements for the Greeks in the form of some Harpies

I have had these sitting around for years and had the intention of adding them to the Greeks at some point as they are classics from the 80's.

Wonderful Bob Olley sculpts (as always!)
Meet Maggie, Ronnie and Nancy (or Michael, if you prefer, as I reckon it looks more like Tarzan/Heseltine, even if it has got boobs!).

Pure drybrushing and washes as I do not think I used a single 'normal' brushstroke in the whole process. All that 'Olley texture' works wonders for this process.



Edited to add better pictures!

Post by: Mason on March 23, 2021, 02:34:50 PM
It has been a while but OGAM has not been forgotten....

I was after some plastic Greek Hoplon shields for my Skeletons but could not find any without buying 60 (I did not need THAT many!), so I put a Wanted! ad in the Bazaar and, thanks to Harry Faversham and OSHIROModels, I got the amount needed.
Thanks, chaps, much appreciated!
 :)

So, only five months after receiving the shields I have managed to colour them in and added them to the Undead Warrior units......

And on their OGAM movement trays...

On the march display their new toys....

And finally, a closer shot showing the various states of their shields...

Blimey!
Over a year since IU added anything to this project!
Well, putting that right...here is something new, at last:

The Norse have had Odin added to their choice of Gods...

Great.
And don't worry, you are not alone to have taken a break in OGAM  ;)
i'm still looking for a figurine that would make a good Odin to join in my Nordic army.
