Any good mini of Thor, Norse god of thunder?
« on: May 21, 2016, 10:14:08 PM »
I don't know if this should be in the Age of Myths, etc, but I am looking for a nice mini to represent Thor (not the Marvel version).

I am building some OGAM warbands, and I don't really fancy the official Thor mini available from North Star (the Zeus is nice, and Ares and Cernunnos are MUST buys, but the Thor is a bit meh for my taste).

I would prefer one that is only slightly larger-than-life, but a 40mm or 50mm model would do, if I like the sculpt.

Any suggestions, please?

Suggestions for other members of the Norse pantheon are welcome as well, btw!

Bronze Age are 32mm and there looks to be several Thors http://www.bronzeagemin.com/miniatures_html/32MM/FANTASY/Gods/GODS.htm

Hmm, yeah, thanks. If I go with Bronze Age, it will probably be the helmeted version...

I'd like to have a few more options, though, as they do not quite strike that 'eureka' chord in me.

Maybe a D&D Cloud Giant sculpt from one of the fantasy manufacturers, such as Ral Partha / Iron Wind Metalks.

I think Reaper have at least one.
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

I just measured my Odin and he is around 47mm to the top of his helmet, not counting the base.

I'd be inclined to go for this bloke but with the hammer instead of the spear.

I agree about the Bronze Age Miniatures "Odin". Here's one I've got in my "to do" pile.

You might also be able to find a decent Thor with some of the Clix minis, stripped and repainted, several are pretty good sculpts.
