Fantasy Greeks

[SpaceGoblin]

Thanks, chaps-it was mostly just a case of drybrushing and airbrushing and inking-all pretty quick and easy to do The airbrush was handy for this sort of thing (skin patterns on big stuff) but I'll stick to regular paintbrushes for most things I think

[von Lucky]

Nicely done. And I love how no one questioned your invisible hydras. Or complemented you on them.

[LORDofSTUFF]

This is such a cool project. It's the little things like the Hydra's handlers or the Zebra stripes on the centaurs that really steps the whole thing up.

After a long period of being distracted by other things I'm finally getting back to this project. I'm using them in 'Age of Sigmar' -formerly as mixed Order, now as a Free City army (the new book fits perfectly with them as I always envisioned them as a city state). I used them in a small battle on Tuesday which went much better than the last time with a convincing win over the forces of undeath (no pics I'm afraid).
I prepped a new batch of minis last night to add to what I've already done. I'll post more pics as I make progress.

Very cool stuff!

[Grumpy Gnome]

Nice to see this project continuing. Great artwork and genius design concept!

[SpaceGoblin]

Thanks, guys I'm fired up by the potentual for the new 'Free Cities' book. I want to do an Asian themed fantasy army next. Lots of Ashigaru and samurai with a few war machines and dragons thrown in

A great thread...just reread from the start

Keep up the good work

Thanks, AKULA 

Finished the ten archers I prepped bringing my archer total to three units of ten. Next-A zebra drawn chariot (or three).

Finally got a chariot finished! 5 more to do

Excellent work.

Been hopping between my Victorian/Napoleonic inspired army of IG for 40k (see 'Royal Army of Venus' ob the VSF board) and this force of Greek mythology inspired hoplites which was originally for Fantasy Battle but which I'll now be using for Age of Sigmar.
Although I'm using Greek mythology as a starting point, I decided to give the army a slightly more exotic feel, so will be painting the humans with darker skin and painting the horses and centaurs with a zebra pattern to give the force a more African feel. Good thing about the setting of AofS is that it's basically infinite, so fitting in a force of your own devising is far easier than in the days of WFB-the sky's the limit Stat wise I'll be using 'Order'-so mainly elf and human stats to represent the various units.

Still very early days-but here's what I have so far.

Finally got back to this project and made a bit of progress on it. Pictured are a skycutter chariot by GW (with Wargames Factory Amazon crew), Centaurs made from Wargames Factory Amazons and horses mashed together and a Greek heroine by Reaper miniatures.
A mix of Greek and African themes going on to create something new. It's a fantasy army so it's all good

Nice work!  Where are those centaurs from?

The war chariot is a model of Foundry. It was the chariot of the Queen of the Amazons, which however is no longer in the catalog. It is replaceable with that of the Bronze Age, because it should be of equal size.
