Mythic Greece

[marko.oja]

Varnishing aside, I finally managed to finish the bulk of my "Greek Myth" project.

Light amazons


Heavy amazons


Satyrs


Skeletons


And some "moving terrain", very much inspired by Matakishi



Minis from Eureka (amazons, skeletons, satyrs and ox) and Amazon (all other animals). The animals were great fun to paint, so I guess I'll get more.

I love what you've done. Makes me want to strip my down and repaint them properly.

[Captain Blood]

Beautiful! What a lovely collection 

[barbaric splendor]

Nice work - I really like the color scheme on the amazons and the armor on the skeletons!

[matakishi]

The skeletons are particularly nice, I wasn't aware of their existence either, more for the 'sometime' list.

Thanks all,

you can find the skeletons at http://eurekamin.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=87_126_178&products_id=2087

Just a small warning - those are almost as fiddly to put together as your starship crew. However, I noticed that if you accidentally mix epoxy glue and superglue together you end up with something that can stick just about anything together. The bad part is that the stuff smells so bad it brings tears to your eyes and probably melts the rest of your brain-cells...

I tried to stick to a limited palette on everything and finally figure out how to paint fleshtones. Amazon skin is VMC Dark flesh washed with GW Ogryn Flesh, highlighted with another layer of flesh and white. White clothes are GW Dheneb Stone + white, purple is GW Hormagaunt Purple + white. The oxidized armour was ridiculously easy to do: painted the armour black, drybrushed with VGC Tinny Tin and VMC Brass, then painted on very watered down VGC Jade Green, adding white to that a bit more each time (about 4-5 layers).

Well I like it!

Very nicely painted, and I like the "sensible style" the Amazons got. Wearing clothes and all that, y´know.

[Onebigriver]

Lovely stuff there. 

[Doomhippie]

I love the animals. Well, actually I like all of your stuff. However, the little details like the animals make a collection special.

Beautifully painted figures! I wonder how the Eurekas



fit in with these from Shadow Forge:



They look compatible in terms of anatomy, equipment etc, the only question is the size of the respective ranges. I quite fancy getting some ShadowForge sometime in the future for a fantasy/VSF type "lost" army and if Eureka's work with them, then

I hope no one objects if I pimp my Amazons Showcase here:

Beautifully painted figures! I wonder how the Eurekas....fit in with these from Shadow Forge:

They might even be by the same sculptor.

[Gluteus Maximus]

They might even be by the same sculptor.

Quite possible - they are both Aussie companies after all.

I'd like to see a couple side-by-side to get an idea of compatibility.

It's a long way to order from Aus, without being sure of the figures.

Real nice
