Title: Amazons and Greek Myth
Post by: James Morris on May 02, 2022, 07:27:31 AM: Just finished a few tester models for a force of Amazons and photographed them scrapping a number of my Greek myth minis (Hercules and Athena by North Star; Harpies 3d prints from Artisan Workshop, sourced on Etsy; Cyclops is a 1/72 plastic by Dark Alliance; and plastic skeletons from Wargames Atlantic). The Amazons are lovely sculpts by Lucid Eye that will be absolutely perfect for my games of OGAM and Midgard.

I have quite a few of the Northstar Amazon in the ranks of my hoplites. I wish they would expand the range from one figure.

[edit] ah wait I found them now. My gosh that whole Ziggurat range is stunning

Cheers! That was one of the great attractions. Might fit them into a Trojan War game or something…
