Savage Cyclopes of Olympus

A mix of resin and metal (the big hammer and the stuff hanging from their belts) these two towering one-eyed giants are now ready to join a Demigod's warband in battles of WarGods...

This first guy with the hammer has a yellowish skin that came out pretty good. He's 'officially supposed to have the other stuff hanging from his belt, but I liked the look of the tools. Also, i think he's supposed to have the other head, but they seem to be easily interchangeable.

Both Cyclops bases were a mix of textured basing material and my preferred roll of designer shelf liner to get a great 'temple floor' look. I used some small sand with a wash on it and for the Hammer guy added a grass tuft to break up the monotony. 

This second guy, with his big rock, got the "wrong" metal bits hanging from his belt, but I thought he had a more savage look overall and the beast leg and amphorae of wine fit this look well. I'm particularly proud of how the meander on the amphorae came out- I used a micron pen for it.

The temple paving on their bases was cut from different parts of the big sheet of liner but line up pretty close to perfectly when the Hammer guy is on the right of the Rock guy. This was just another happy accident that I take not credit for making consciously happen.


Above we have a size comparison with some other Olympus minis- the Cyclops is on a 50mm base, the Amazon on a 20mm, and the Minotaur on a 40mm. Below we have a Beloved of Sobek (on a 40mm base) and a Sebeki Hero (on a 25mm base.
