Very original one 

She's listed in both the original rulebook and in the Celts supplement.
When I spotted her as an option I immediately thought of using the Copplestone Lady Godiva model I had lying around.
It did mean I had to source some horses (Irregular Miniatures Shire horses work nicely as shaggy Celtic ones) as Epona must have some horses or cavalry as part of her force.
That led to me converting the Kelpie (water horse) and Puca (shape shifter, often encountered as a horse) to keep the theme.

In this game I used the standard version of Epona from the rulebook - at just 180 points, she's not the most powerful goddess. The Celts version is altogether "beefier" with extra added powers (and increased point cost).

Thank you TWD for your precisions about your army list.

Shire horses is a very good idea and an original one, instead using common horses

Your games look fantastic! I'd love to get more OGAM games on the table.

[Arundel]

I love the look of that!

Is that Book of the Elf King miniatures?

[TWD]

Thanks all

Is that Book of the Elf King miniatures?

Yes, James has quite a few RBotEK models for his Tuatha force.

Is that Book of the Elf King miniatures?

Yup, I think that Vachel Goldenhand and his elven companions are pretty much dead ringers for Nuada Silverarm and his Tuatha...
