Ancient Greeks, Olympians, and a Medieval Knight

I got a few things finished up over the weekend…

(Remember: click on the pictures for a bigger version):


Ares and Apollo from Wargames Foundry - The last two of the Olympians that I picked up a few years back and mostly painted… except these two… and now they’re done. 

Hmmm.... Greek Gods apparently don't have pubic hair... or at least Apollo here doesn't. Is it a god thing? Do they just not have any or is it fashionable amongst the gods to shave down there? Or is it just Apollo? Perhaps he moonlights as a porn star...?



Here are ALL the Olympians together. Quite the crowd.


The Godesses – from left to right: Demeter, Hestia, Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena


The Gods (part 1) – from left to right: Ares, Posiedon, Zeus, Hades, Hermes


The Gods (part 2) – from left to right: Eros, Hephaestus, Apollo, Dionysus  


A couple of Pegasai(?).


Greek Casualties from Warlord Games


More Greeks, mostly from Black Tree Design - the fellow on the left isn’t from Black Tree Design. I got him in a trade and I’m not entirely sure where he came from…?


Still more Black Tree Design Greeks – I seem to have a LOT of guys in this pose…?


Finally… not a Greek… an early Medieval Knight. I’m pretty sure he’s from Old Glory, probably supposed to be a crusader…?  


The backside of said knight – showing off his Bunny Rampant device.


Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:

I’ve got to get on with some Great War battalions so I thought I’d just into that this week – it is Armistice/Remembrance Day tomorrow! I also have a few more Ancient/Mythic Greek items on the workbench I’d like to finish up.

Perhaps also a game report of the skirmishy-role-playing game I’ve started with the kids set in the world of Mythical Greece.

  2. Nice collection :) That 'white' is really effective!
    Perhaps a little too much info on the personal habits of the gods...

    1. Thanks!

      The White drapery? Yes, quick-easy-effective. I undercoat all white drapery in a warmish grey colour (I think it's called "lichen") and then highlight with white. Boom. Done. And looks the part on the table top.

  3. Bunny Rampant!

    Needs a bloody mouth to complete the look

    1. Indeed it does!

      Well, maybe if it were on a different field - with the red background it would just blend in and make the bunny look malformed.

    1. Thanks Millsey! They are simultaneously a lot of fun and a pain in the ass to paint.
