Amazons and Greek Myth
« on: 02 May 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.

Excellent painting and photos.

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.

I looked at the Lucid Eye site and the Amazons they had looked completely different? No helmets or skirts just feathers and bits of cloth.

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

Nicely staged pictures - the Lucid Eye Amazons have quite a Mycenaean look to their dress which is unusual.

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