Lots and lots to enjoy here, masterclass in unusual army creation.  Brilliant!

Thanks folks!

Real life is being a bit hectic at the moment, so only very slow progress, but here is the first WIP company of maenads.

Fantastic work. I have a contingent of the Eureka satyrs and centaurs myself. If you add to their number ask Nic for the newer alternate ones. They have rams horns and a few other little alterations on them. I did them for him last year when we were locked down and I'm pretty sure he made the moulds for them a few months back.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

As ever, I'm in awe.

I've actually used that same Dionysus mosaic for my own army (I think you can just barely make it out in this image: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=125506.0;attach=143326;image), except I printed it as a decal, as I don't have anything approaching your painting acumen :D

Really lovely- I especially like the maenads, but the elephant drapes are really nice, too.

What are you going to do with the army? It would work very well with something like Hordes of the Things.

Oh, that's interesting. Is it the same poses etc, but with ram horns, or are there new sculpts as well?

I'm building the army for Fantastic Battles. You could say that the rules were written to accomodate armies like this.

Those are cracking! The mosaic works very well as a standard.

There is a new satyr playing a flute, and a new centaur with spear wearing a leaf crown. Plus two satyrs with added horns, that are small conversions of existing figures.
