I really like those skellies too - very Jason and the Argonauts a la Harryhausen. Hmm, I see a SoBH warband or two coming along soon.

I just realized I have extra hoplite shields/spears/swords from my Amazons box.  Now for some old GW skellies and I can copy your success.  Thanks for the wonderful idea.
This is my boomstick!

I'd love to see a Charon miniature, based on the character (?) from the 1981 movie Clash of the Titans... You know, skeleton guy in a black shroud/cloak, not saying a word, just holding out his hand for the coins  :)



And speaking of which, that classic Ray Harryhausen Medusa begs to be represented, too.

Superb paint jobs. It's hard to believe they are wargames factory plastics!  :o

I agree Aggro - my thoughts precisely. They are much better than I thought they would be. This may tempt me into grabbing a box or two.

I was kind of waiting for the new Victrix to come out, but now I'm not so sure. You made the Wargames Factory figs look phenomial Major Smith. Well done. What paints are you using for the flesh?

There is this one from Reaper, but not really what you're looking for I think

Cheers guys! The wf Greeks are very good I think, detail on the greaves is a bit :/ but with a few head changes they look great, also the backs of the shields are a bit crap to no recess for a hand to fit in, makes gluing a pain, as for paints on the flesh I just use games workshop dark flesh, dwarf and elf :)

Effective! It's been a long time since I've seriously looked at GW paints.

Amazing! High quality painting combined with a clever choice of figures and dome conversion work. Well done, hope to see it going.
