Ancient Mythology Ranges & Reviews

I was just revisiting the excellent catalogue from Tin Man Miniatures, my interested rekindled with the release of John Carter. I think that either of these two could pass for Aprhodite, much better than the sad excuse that Foundry just put out. 

Really sweet, good find!

Good call (and I agree the fugly Foundry mini is laughable as the goddess of love).

I don't want to be be anti foundry for the sake of being anti foundry. It's just that their sculptors interpretation of the characters don't match mine, for the most part anyways.

These are 30% off at the moment, until April first.

I quite like that minotaur. I have their Leonidas, and he's a great fig.

every time I see that Talos figure it's climbing on my to-buy-list.

Thats the first time I've seen him! And I like what I see!

Me too... Nice Minotaur from Rebel too.

If you're going to get a Talos, why not get the 'real' thing?  Xplus made some very nice action figure/statues a few years ago.  They're supposedly limited edition, but I got mine on Ebay for about $20USD, if memory serves (maybe 30 bucks total with shipping).





... I've really gotta finish painting that 'Conan' figure one of these days...

You can see how big it is next to a 28mm figure - it even has the awesome little plug on his heel. I think that with a simple light bronze drybrush, the figure would be all set for the tabletop.  I'm not really planning on doing anything at all with mine before I use it.

Wow! Very impressive. It would look great as terrain too....

[Prof.Witchheimer]

good find, Alex, I like him!

found one at ebay:

unfortunately shipping to germany would be about 50$

another Talos, not too expensive, but I don't like the concept

That guy's pretty cool... I've got the kneeling version on the plinth, but not the standing version...  it's seriously tempting to get this one, but I really do NOT need three different Talos statues sitting in my house...

Too bad about the international shipping - that's expensive.

Check it out, Jason's Argo from Grand Manner. Pricey but nice.



Lots of nice Greek terrain here. http://www.grandmanner.co.uk/28mm_Classic_Greek--category--2.html
