Greek myth project
«

I started a ‘Greek myth’ project a while ago. It’s currently on hold but I thought I might as well start a thread to show the the work I did up to that point. Perhaps it will inspire me to continue!
Anyhoo, first up is a bunch of GW beastmen from eBay converted into satyrs:
The full step by step is here:
http://nerdlard.blogspot.co.uk/2018/04/satyrs.html
Next, some skeletons. These were originally from the classic ’Skeleton Horde’ box set. Stripped and repainted twenty-five years later, they finally look like how my early teen self wanted to paint them!
The full step by step is here:
http://nerdlard.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/roll-dem-bones.html
I’ll add more pictures as I sort through them.

Thanks! I really enjoyed bringing those skeletons back to life. The Skeleton Horde set will always be my favourite miniatures.

I really like those Satyrs

, but some times good ideas are too close to see
Thanks for sharing

They have come out very well indeed.
I did the very same thing, using old Beastmen and Skellies from my fantasy collection as an easy start on the Greek bandwagon.
I am currently doing the same with my Norse.
Great minds, eh?

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
3 fingers – I think 'dainty' is the right word for the Foundry satyrs! I was very tempted by them but the 'Harryhausen' looks of the GW miniatures won out.
Next up, it’s a set of Victrix Hoplites:
Is it just me or does that bloke in the middle look like Matthew Kelly?
For anybody who is interested, there is a step-by-step on my blog:
http://nerdlard.blogspot.co.uk/2018/05/hoplites.html
More to follow soon, when I sort out some new pictures.

My first thought was the more heroic Russell Crowe a few centuries earlier than Gladiator, now all I can see is Matthew Kelly!
Anyway, those Hoplites are really nice! love the shield on the left!

I've managed to miss your first posting! The skeleton horde box. Ah, the days when you got a full army in a box. Bone chariot and all!
Great work!

Wonderful new additions.
Matthew Kelly?
Better than him looking like Grace Kelly!
