Argonaut Project - update 30/3
« on: 13 November 2016, 10:00:28 PM »
Having finished the Zulu Wars project I have decided to start the next one in the Shed - this time something a bit smaller on the figure count but hopefully just as spectacular...

Jason & the Argonauts

I'll add progress here but most of the journey will be on the blog

for the intro

and for part 1  - the first bit of terrain head here

thanks for following me on this journey

Great to see you starting this!  I'll be checking Shed Wars for updates. There's so much scenario potential with this genre.

That's a nice piece of terrain to start. Just needs an old man and a few harpies.   :D :D

Looking good. I'll be watching this one closely.

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

It looks like you're going for the Ray Harryhausen look, rather than Mycenaean pesudo-historical. Cool beans. It's nice to see mythology done old school.

I'll definitely be interested in seeing what you come up with your rules for this. It really lends itself to heroic actions and scenario driven games. Could this be a possible BLAM 2017 game? I'd be well up for that!

That Temple is brilliant. Shedwork or an existing kit?

Thanks for all the great comments guys...

It is a aquarium piece I picked up in the states last year...it is perfect for 28mm

Could well be a feature at Blam. Once I have some of the figures painted we will be testing the rules

Harpies on order...will need an old man...wasn't he called phineas?
