Indeed! I think that the Crocodile Satyrs are my favourite.

A few more from the productive weekend...


Not Greek "MYTH" per se... but will definitely see action against Centaurs, Satyrs and Amazons at some point in their career, so...


These are mostly from Black Tree Design - except for the hornblower, he's from Crusader Miniatures.


Another angle..


and finally some more skirmish game figures...

just a couple more... (all are from Wargames Foundry)


Hoplite and Psiloi


Another Centaur


Centaur's other side... not sure about that black background on the shield... I might change it..

Should have some Amazons shortly.

I should take a group photo - these penny packet installments have been adding up to a sizable collection! The storage drawer is steadily filling up with painted figures!

I should also try and get a game in with these!

Your Black Tree figures look great.
Sometimes with Black Tree you just never know.

Heh... yes... Some of the shields they send with the Greek "spearmen" are quite unlike any ancient Greek shield I've ever seen illustrated anywhere.... Their "hoplites" have proper round Hoplons, but some of the "spearmen" some with some sort of oval shield!? Going to have to steal some hoplite shields from somewhere (or just make my own) to kit those guys out...

Yeah, I had the same thing. You can get cheap shields from the good folks at Horde O Bits.



$3.00 for 24 should keep ou going for a while, and the shipping is reasonable to Canada

Ooh thanks! I've ordered things fro HoB in the past - I didn't realize they'd branched out into HISTORICAL plastic bits!

Well just Wargames Factory for now. I would shout with joy if they took on Perry, Warlord and Victrix. Fingers crossed. Also check out the Reaper bits. They have a few pieces that would work for myths - an owl for athena, a satyr, etc.

You know that Reaper will sell bits - sprues - from it's packs if you ask them? I bought 20 x a particular shield form their Necropolis weapons pack by emailing Ed and making the request.
