Title: Of Gods and Mortals - the Olympic Games (Final Game - 11 Jan)
Post by: TWD on January 09, 2022, 08:27:39 PM: I invited James, Sam and Martin over for a "mini-tournament" using our OGAM Greek forces.
Three games in a day to find out who rules Olympus.
Much fun and nonsense was the result.
Here's some pics from the first pair of games

Post by: TWD on January 09, 2022, 08:29:47 PM: Some regularly asked questions about the models.
The Talos belongs to James - it's a tourist statue from a market in Crete that he repainted
Hades is from SHQ miniatures (they do a nice little range of similar gods and godesses)
Hecate and Apollo are from the Mythic Pantheon board game.
Cerberus is a Reaper metal model.

If I were ever to do a Troy game, it would look something like your game.

Beautiful result.

Thank you. The smaller "olive" trees I made myself with twisted wire and steel wool. The bigger "poplars" are from The Tree Fellas.

It's a great little game and lends itself to short casual campaign/tournament days.

Thank you.

Do you mean the Talos - the big bronze giant model? James painted that I'm not sure if there's an explanation of how he did it on his website https://mogsymakes.net/greek-mythology/?

If you mean the "Shades" (the ghostly hoplites) they're GW Aethematic Blue with a little Thrakka Green wash http://tomstoysoldiers.blogspot.com/2019/10/greek-shades-for-of-gods-and-mortals.html
