Three Olympus Demigods and Helen of Troy

All four of these have been partially painted since I got the Amazon shipment from the WarGods of Olympus Kickstarter a couple years back. As sometimes happens with some really well-sculpted minis, I was afraid I would would ruin them with my not-stellar painting attempts. But I finally just went for it and they turned out okay.

Prince Vultan of the Hawkmen the Demigod of Dionysus. This guy is so characterful! I may have gone overboard with the grape stained feet, but I like it. The white in his beard was to distinguish him further as a character (there's probably a story behind it that he delights in telling revelers).
I've got two Dionysus Demigods in my WarGods collection. To lead an Amazon warband for the 2019 GenCon Arsenal of Ares event, I found a female mini who would fit the bill. She represented the Demigoddess of Dionysus, Absynthia in my Amazon warband well. She doesn't look too bad next to her cousin Demigod.

Next is the Demigoddess of Artemis. This sculpt is so perfect that I was especially concerned I couldn't do it justice. It turned out okay, I guess. She is the second Artemis Demigoddess mini from Crocodile Games, my painted version of the original mini can be found here. I like this one better.

Another perfect sculpt that I feel my paint has failed, the Kickstarter exclusive mini for Helen of Troy. 

Finally, yet another perfect sculpt that I actually had a pretty good idea of the colors I wanted to use from the very start, the Demigoddess of Hecate. I actually feel pretty good about this paintjob. She turned out pretty much how I envisioned. I think the toughest part was the pale skin. I really like how the magical hair turned out. The pictures don't adequately show the difference between her skin and dress, I assure you they are not the same color.
Now that these four are finally off the painting table I can move on to all the other Olympus minis from the Kickstarter (as well as the new stuff from GenCon this year).
