Title: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE group shots)
Post by: powerfrog99 on 08 November 2014, 02:01:59 PM: After waiting for some time to get my Kickstarter Wargods of Olympus Trojans, I am now happily working on the little army I had pledged for.
Here is the first unit of spearmen. Over the time I will post pics of the other units.

As usual I painted them using Army Painter Dark Tone and depending on the light they look more greyish (what I like best) or bluish.....

I hope You enjoy, cheers Thomas

Post by: Mason on 27 November 2014, 07:20:27 PM: You have done a fine job with all of these figures.

I have a plan for a Greek OGAM force project next year and you have done a fine job of selling this range to me.
:D

Post by: Duff on 09 December 2014, 02:22:37 AM: Great work, I love the muted palette and subtle metal work.

Is there any news on when the Trojans will become available through the shop?
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Phalanx)
Post by: powerfrog99 on 09 December 2014, 04:39:37 PM: Hi, as the Crocs are late by a bit more than a year now, I think it'll take a long time until these models are officially released :( :(

Plan for official release was, together with the rulebook July this year if I remember right. Hopefully Summer next year :)

cheers Thomas

Post by: powerfrog99 on 26 December 2014, 09:25:50 PM: After some time I have finally managed to finish the Trojan leader Aeneas and his honor guards.
I really love the elaborate sculpts used for the whole Trojan release, but have a look yourself:

cheers Thomas
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Aeneas and Guards)
Post by: OSHIROmodels on 26 December 2014, 11:10:41 PM: Very nice indeed :-* :-*

Post by: Vongoosewink on 27 December 2014, 12:12:41 AM: These really look great, I agree about the muted color-scheme, it gives them a nice, realistic look. Super job!

Post by: manic _miner on 27 December 2014, 08:02:18 PM: Love these miniatures.Your painting has really brought them to life.Looking forward to getting my KS pieces too.Just upped my pledge by adding a couple more units to it.
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Aeneas and Guards)
Post by: Sterling Moose on 27 December 2014, 09:43:34 PM: Very, very nice. Kinda wish I'd jumped on the KS but realistically they would just be another tier to the lead mountain.
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Aeneas and Guards)
Post by: Gibby on 28 December 2014, 07:22:04 PM: These figures would make excellent alternative High Elves. Love 'em!
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Aeneas and Guards)
Post by: rumacara on 29 December 2014, 01:03:51 PM: Thomas, sculping is indeed very good but your painting is superb. :-* :-*
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Aeneas and Guards)
Post by: guitarheroandy on 29 December 2014, 10:36:59 PM: Brilliant colour scheme. It works really well! Great paint job too! The sculpts look as though they paint up really nicely - by that I mean they look like they are a joy to paint.
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Aeneas and Guards)
Post by: powerfrog99 on 06 January 2015, 09:00:49 PM: Thanks guys for your kind comments :)

Being back from a trip to meet family and friends I have resumed painting Trojans :)

The 5th and 6th row of the phalanx are finished and the peltasts are in progress.

For now I can show the demigod of Poseidon, as Poseidon is the god of horses I thought it a good idea to have the color scheme similar to the Trojans.

cheers Thomas

Post by: powerfrog99 on 29 January 2015, 05:15:59 PM: Hi, here are the Peltasts and a close shot of the archers.

The next unit to are the Swordsmen including their converted command.

Post by: guitarheroandy on 30 January 2015, 06:09:43 PM: Those are SO good!! :o :o
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Peltats)
Post by: powerfrog99 on 31 January 2015, 09:50:05 AM: Thank you Andy,

yes it is a absolute pleasure to paint the minis, high quality castings and a lot of Details :) :)

While waiting for my Crocodile Games Amazons to be delivered I am working on Spartans these days. However these minis do not have the usually high casting Quality! Maybe I have got castings from worn out molds....

Stay tuned the swordmen unit just needs the finishing touches to their bases ;)
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Peltats)
Post by: OSHIROmodels on 31 January 2015, 09:54:44 AM: They look great :-* :-*

I thought Poseidon was the sea god ???

I learnt something new - known as Earth-Shaker and has been called the "tamer of horses".

Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Peltats)
Post by: powerfrog99 on 08 February 2015, 09:29:00 PM: So and here they are, the swordsmen :)

This was the last unit of my little Trojan army to be painted.

Taking encouragement from my LAF friend Rui I even did a little conversion work on the command group.
Thanks Rui I am really happy with them ;)

cheers Thomas

Post by: OSHIROmodels on 08 February 2015, 09:31:19 PM: Lovely work again 8)

Group shot time?

cheers

Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Swordsmen)
Post by: rumacara on 08 February 2015, 09:34:44 PM: Thomas, great painting. :-* :-*
The standard bearer was the conversion ?
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Swordsmen)
Post by: powerfrog99 on 09 February 2015, 06:38:39 AM: Hi Rui,
the trumpeter and the standard are converted. I used normal swordmen minis and changed the arms.
The original ones you can see in the spear unit.
These days I am working on an army standard bearer, just a nice top for the pole is missing.
And yes James, when he is finished a group shot will be a good idea 😉.
Cheers Thomas
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Swordsmen)
Post by: rumacara on 09 February 2015, 04:22:42 PM: Simple conversions but very efective.
Keep them coming Thomas.
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Swordsmen)
Post by: Mason on 10 February 2015, 09:02:24 AM: Great additions.
:-*

And a big: 'Yes, Please!' to the group shot.
:D
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Swordsmen)
Post by: Bessron on 10 March 2015, 12:12:21 PM: Sers Thomas,

I already told you, but now again here in the forum.
The miniatures are really good painted and I'm a little jealous of yours paintingskill and as well as your speed for paint.

I´m looking forward to the group shot.

Post by: Samnite308 on 10 March 2015, 04:14:31 PM: Really cool colour scheme - great job! :D
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE Swordsmen)
Post by: powerfrog99 on 14 March 2015, 12:29:31 AM: Hi, now that I have finished my army standard bearer I made a few group shots.
The army is finished now and sooner or later she will hit the battle field ;-)
They look a bit blurred, just click on the pics for full view and better quality ;-)

cheers Thomas
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE group shots)
Post by: folnjir on 14 March 2015, 06:27:47 AM: Fantastic seeing them all together.
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE group shots)
Post by: von Lucky on 14 March 2015, 06:47:48 AM: They're looking good. Colour is lost in the setting (too similar).
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE group shots)
Post by: powerfrog99 on 14 March 2015, 08:42:32 PM: Thanks you are right, I usually take a lot of shots with different lighting and later select the best ones. This time even these best ones needed a bit of manual correction. I hope they look better now.
cheers Thomas
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE group shots)
Post by: von Lucky on 14 March 2015, 08:52:28 PM: Much better and shows off that blue now.
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE group shots)
Post by: Vinlander on 19 March 2015, 06:18:18 PM: Brilliant work Powerfrog!!! :-*

Are you actually playing 'Wargods of Olympus' or using another rules set?
Title: Re: Wargods Trojan Army Project (UPDATE group shots)
Post by: powerfrog99 on 21 March 2015, 12:19:57 PM: Actually I'd like to try out the Wargods rules, but in our group nobody is really interested (too lazy) I think.
So I play either WHFB using a mixture of army lists Heru-High Elves, Asar-Empire, Sebecki-Oger, Khemru-Skaven or the WAB New Kingdom Egypt list from Chariot Wars supplement.
This works pretty will although the Harbinger rules are lost in these games.
Recently I battled against Skaven and Khemri, one won and one lost...
Cheers Thomas
P.S. Pics of the Skaven game you can find in,my gallery here on LAF.

The colours fit the dry landscape beautifully!
