Thank you :)

Here's the next batch, some old, some new.

First the new, some shades from Foundry.



and for the old, Cerberus and some two-headed dogs from Ral Partha





A brass man from Grenadier (with a shade for scale)



and last, but certainly not least, my Erymanthian Boar from Archive, bought in 1979.



More to come...

A set of City/town guards, essential for a set of role playing miniatures.
These ones are busy guarding the wine and water supply.





Some more Bronze men because you can't have too many :)





And a horse shrine for my centaurs (when I get round to painting them).

Hey, cool miniatures, I didn't read the whole thread but I would like to suggest the excellent gods in Ral Partha / IWM's RPG/Supernaturals line (you already have the Manticore), I especially like the God of the Sea and the War God. Oh, and if you are on a Greek Mythology trip, take a look at Apotheon by Alien Trap games, I bought it as a pre-order and started playing it yesterday, awesome art style, ok game, all in all a purchase I don't regret.



For minotaurs, I really like the one from Time Bandits:

Actually the Manticore is from Grenadier. I had some of the Ral Parhta miniatures from the range you mention but I think they're too small to be gods. I'm also not a fan of the sculptor.
I have two minotaurs (one more than I need really) but a rotting one like the Time Bandits' Minotaur would be a nice addition.

Great additions, Paul.

Where is the horse shrine from?
Asking as centaurs will most certainly feature in my own force of Greeks.

Ok, I think it's time to adress the elephant in the room...

WHEN DO WE GET TO SEE THE MEDUSA AND WHAT CONVERSIONS WILL YOU DO TO MAKE IT LOOK JUST LIKE THE HARRYHAUSEN ONE?

:D

I have a Reaper Medusa. She'll be done soonish. I'm painting some nymphs at the moment.

Bugger!

I think I've seen them in one of the charity shops that sells new stuff, so it may not be a complete bugger....

For Greek gods, are the ones from Chiltern Miniatures still available?
They're quite big figures.

Or the Alternative Armies figures for their game Typhon?
