This is MADNESS!

[Westfalia Chris]

Well. What do you expect when a German goes Spartan. Ahum.

Thanks to Dominic, I yesterday received my copy of Dark Slave Miniatures´ "Leonidas, Mercenario Espartana", which depicts the recent cinematic incarnation of a certain famous Spartan king.

Madness, I say, and madness it is. First, the miniature. Awesome detail, bizarre pose, flawless casting (in my case at least).



So, I´m back. I´ve taken some more pics using sunlight, and it actually looks better to me. What do you think?



Now I need 30 Spartans, I´m aiming at Crocodile, and 10k Persians to recreate TP in 1:10 scale. Thebai? Phocaiai? Who needs those! ::

woooaa  he looks fierce...  nicely done

edit:  I should add that Steve Saleh is doing some spartans for Artizan.  None of the figures in the preview pic is equiped the way I want it but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there will be some nice ones when the range is done

Looks great, much better under the natural light too.

He's looking like a crazy monster.

Good job!

I like the daylight pics better, too.

Too much muscles for me.

You should skip the movie, then.  :wink:

Great job, Chris. Make sure you remember to get a couple of Cave Trol... I mean, War Rhinos for the Persians.

Great job, Chris. Make sure you remember to get a couple of Cave Trol... I mean, War Rhinos for the Persians.

I have to admit, I´m really keen on that Elephant Squadron... but the Rhino was totally cuddly, too. But wasn´t that scene SO obvious yet amazing?

I´m really thinking about how to best do this. Greatest problem will be to find decent Persians in the size required... I´ve thought about using a Confrontation Barbarian giant for one of those "Uber Immortals" (laughed hilariously at that credit!). He´d be just the right size for ol´ Leo to spear.
