Beautiful pieces and well done. But it does make me wonder wouldn't the Greek buildings not actually be ruins during the time zone they were being erected and fought over? Would they not actually be intact at this period "albeit fictitious" of time.

Hello all

Lovely ruins.
Are they scratchbuilt or manufactured as it is?

Cheers

Hi thanks for the nice feedback  :) . Good point re why are they ruins, I guess they way I look at it is antiquity lasted for a pretty long time so skis used structures made a few hundred years before could fall into disrepair, for this model I had in mind to use it as a Dionysian temple so my rationale was it was out in the wops and the adherents used it occasionally for parties and we're too hung over/couldn't be bothered looking after it properly  :)

It,s made from hirst arts bricks which I cast from a mold manufactured by Bruce Hirst and glue together with white glue. The molds are really awesome products.

Horses for centaurs are the wargames factory Persian horses, they had a sale on the horse sprues a while back and I picked up a bunch.

They are easy to convert as the head is separate to the body and the width of the neck area where the head usually joins matches the waist of a victrix or wargames factory hoplite pretty closely.
You just have to chop the hop lite mini in half and greenstuff the gaps when attaching. Cutting through the waist of the hoplite at different angles gives u a range of poses for the centaur top half.

Indeed. They are. And lots of different styles. The Egyptian range is quite nice.

I'm loving that buried temple. ;D
I go to pieces so fast that people get hit by the shrapnel.

Thomas great painting on the minis, one of the guys in our wargods campaign is taking heru and your minis are inspirational, also am looking forward to the victrix peltasts etc... great for bulking out Olympus armies, the scales are not too dissimilar.

:)
