Aegyptus April 01 - Asar Harbinger, Basti Assassin, Drunken Tethru

Each year, for some number of years now, I try to focus on WarGods minis (from Crocodile Games as well as other similarly themed miniatures from other companies) during an extended "WarGods Minis Month" that's actually more like two months. It starts around mid-August and goes until the end of September or thereabouts. I'd like to claim it's based on the ancient Aegyptian calendar or phases of the moon or something, but it's really just all whims and painting inspirations (and miniature needs for GenCon gaming in Croc events).

Well no more! I've made a resolution to split up WarGods Minis Month into an #aegyptusapril and an #olympusoctober with an option for a second Aegyptus month in August. I encourage others who have unpainted WarGods of Aegyptus minis to use the #aegyptusapril on the various social platforms when they paint stuff during the month. I only use Instagram and Facebook and most of those pics will be the same pics I post here in more wordy posts but not everyone checks out this blog.

Without further ado- let the painted Aegyptus goodness for April begin!

First up is a Basti assassin known only as 'the Gentle Breeze.' This guy is a nasty piece of work who will shoot arrows at anyone for the right price. I'm working on stats for him as a skirmish character over at the WarGods Skirmish Blog.

Next is a conversion I've been trying to come up with for years and years- Hoethet VII the Drunken Swordmaster. This is the heir to the great Tethru Swordmaster Hoethet's legacy. Sadly he has fallen into drunken wandering after some tragic events in his life. That said, he's probably the greatest living swordsman in Aegyptus at the time after the Aten Heresy. Another character for skirmish games who will have stats at the WarGods Skirmish Blog soon. The booze sloshing out of his flask is simply some built up UV resin.

Finally we come to a Freebooter miniature that has been partially painted for way too long. This is one of the Amazons from that game. When I saw this mini I knew it would make a good Asar Harbinger of Sobek. No conversion work at all just painting. 

And here we have Nefarsebek with the Sebeki Priest to show how big she is next to a Sebeki guy.
