[tim in saskatoon]

A few more...


Greek Goddesses: Demeter, Aphordite, and Hestia. All from Wargames foundry


Greek Women. Teh three on the left that look a little "better fed"are from Wargames Foundry, the two on the right are from Warlord Games.


Hero of some sort from the Foundry's ARgonauts collection...

[tim in saskatoon]

A few new ones...


Heracles (with the pelt of the Nemian Lion) from Wargames Foundry


A Beggar from Warlord Games ancient Roman line - but could easily pass for an earlier Greek beggar...

[Prof.Witchheimer]

I like the beggar.

[Steve F]

Presumably the beggar is a god in disguise.  Neglect him at your peril!

A few more of the gods:

From Left to Right; Hermes, Eros, Athena, Poseidon, Dionysus, Hades, and Hephaistos. All from Wargames Foundry

and because they had them in Clash of the Titans:

A GIANT SCORPION! (this is actually a cheap plastic dollar store critter that just happened to be about the right size for a "28mm" Giant scorpion!)

[Chairface]

Tim, they look better and better! Nice update.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Like the Gods, Tim, well done!

This past weekend I finally finished up a herd of Centaurs to finish up a HOTT/DBA army of them.


This lot are all figures from Wargames Foundry


These are all from Mega Miniatures

Here is the whole army together:


The army consists of :

1x Knight or Rider General (or Cavalry General in DBA)
1x Magician
7-8x Riders (Light Horse in DBA)
1-2x Shooters (Allied Satyr Archers – to give the army something to deal with stuff in bad-going)

At some point I'd like to pick up a couple more elements worth - just to fill out a full 12-element army of "Riders" (or Light Horse/Cavalry in DBA)

[Chairface]

Wow, they look impressive as a group!  Nicely done. A great selection of minis from a lot of different companies that gel well together

I love what you have acheived with this project so far. Though I must say that I am a little disappointed with the Foundry Myths range....some of the figures are stunning whilst others look like the sculpter has tried to get them done in an afternoon. I will probably still get them anyway.
Again VERY well done.

Another centaur - on a much bigger individual base!? This will actually be the Army marker for the Centaur Army above (to denote the location of said army on a campaign map - I do love campaigns...).


The figure is from Mega Miniatures.

Tim, how do the Mega Miniatures Centaurs stack up next to the Foundry ones in terms of size and sculpt?  I have around 15 or 20 of the Mega Minis ones that I painted years back but none of the Foundry.  I always liked the Mega Minis ones for what they were, reasonably priced, okay sculpts.  Nothing to devote your gaming life to but good rank and file Centaurs.

Tim, how do the Mega Miniatures Centaurs stack up next to the Foundry ones in terms of size and sculpt? 

I think the mega minis stuff is maybe a bit smaller. Do they go well together? Depends how picky you are. I'm not so picky... but I did make the stands of one type (i.e. each stand has all figure from Foundry, or Mega Minis, or whatever) partly because there was a noticeable enough difference when they were standing right next to each other on a base together.

Have a look at the army above - there's  a mix of the two in the big group shot - kind of hard to tell how tall each is from that angle... but the back row, from left to right, is: Mega Minis, Foundry, Mega Minis, Mega Minis, Foundry. The Front row, from left to right, is Foundry, Mega Minis, Foundry, Reaper (the singly-based shaman/magician), and Shadowforge.

[angstpuppet]

Tim, thanks.  Very cool.  I think they look very good together.  I dig the Mega Minis stuff but there are only so many sculpts there.  I guess I can certainly look at foundry now for expansion options when I return to centaurs.  Thanks much sir.

I started building some ships... All the cool heroes had one... Odyseus... Jason...

This is a work-in-progress shot:



Hopefully I'll get a chance to finish these up in the next week or two.
