Six Sphinxes

 

From Miniature Building Authority at Adepticon 2023, I picked up these 6 sphinxes because they looked great and sphinxes make good scatter for WarGods games. Plus, four layers of drybrushing turned out pretty good 

The Criosphinx design. There are some very faint heiroglyphics along the base but they are so faint that I decided to ignore them

The standard Sphinx design almost got gold accents but I decided against it to keep all of them the same.

Here we have a couple of Crocodile Games Aegyptians with a few of the Sphinxes to show how well they fit together.

Mummy Kidnapping

This figure has been assembled and primed almost since it arrived from one of the Dark Fable Miniatures campaigns. But now this fearsome mummy and his unconscious hostage have finally been completed. 

It was really just a simple rather quick paintjob once I focused on it. I think it turned out pretty good. The floor tiles are simply drawn on the base with a micron pen and then weathered the best I could. 

Here we have the newest mummy alongside a few of the other Eater of the Dead miniatures I've painted (mostly Crocodile Games figures). I think he will most likely see use as a moving objective marker because a "save the damsel" objective sounds kinda fun.

Knight of Horus and a Revitalized Heru

It's officially Aegyptus April, but I haven't really been focusing my painting on WarGods stuff. But this converted Knight of Horus conversion just needed to be finished. I also came across this Heru with 2 swords who needed some touch-up from a long time in the wild- I thnk this is the first WarGods miniature I ever painted back in the 'aughts sometime. 

The touchup was mainly to a couple of areas that had chipped all the paint away (his toes and an arm). I took the chance to enhance the metallic area and some other stuff.

This is the second time I've  done a Knight of Horus conversion. I had started on him before Adepticon but he was abandoned in the prep. I decided he needed to be finished right away for some possible skirmish games soon. As with most of my Horus-themed miniatures I wanted this guy to rhyme with the first Knight but not be a copy.

Below we've got the new and old Knights of Horus side by side to show the differences. The Knights of Horus have many orders across the land, thus the differences in costume.

And here we have what may be a Horus party for some WarGods skirmishing.

Vaguely Mythic Greek Ruin

Another small terrain piece inspired by the Olympus board at Adepticon. I was given the base that had a test roll of green stuff texture roller. 

The final layout stayed pretty true to the initial plan. It was then just a case of chopping up some foam chunks and arranging them into interesting piles. For the medium chunks of debris I used some cork chunks I recently rediscovered in a box. The ruined columns are from Mantic Terrain Crate. 

For the floor itself I went with simple colors that would still look good dirtied up.

There were a few grass tufts added just to spice things up a little and ti was done. From start to finish it came together pretty quickly. Overall maybe a day total time spent on it (it was spread over a week and a half, though).

I tried to design it so it would provide room for several figures inside and a few easy avenues of entry. But it could also provide some protection for figures inside.

Here's this new ruin with the previously completed Altar of Genericus and  on top of the hill. It's roughly the same size as the Altar piece.

While these ruins were designed with WarGods gaming in mind, it was clear early on that it could fit into all sorts of settings. Below we see some adventurers searching for lost treasure.

Above we have some Tethru Slingers and an Asar Champion taking refuge in the ruins. Below we have some Dark eldar using the ruins as cover for their ambush.

Aegyptus April 1- Baboon Troop

I recently found the package of these baboon minis that I totally forgot I had. So they get to kick of a lite version of Aegyptus April. They were very quick paintjobs but I think they turned out pretty good.  While there aren't any rules for baboons in WarGods (yet) I based them so they could be used in place of jackals. All but two of them got a little bit of temple floor on the edge of their bases because it almost always looks cool.

This first one is pretty unassuming, but he will likely not hesitate to bite your face off.

Next is one of two sculpts with sticks. This guy is just dragging his stick nonchalantly.

This one  is the other sculpt with a stick. Unlike his buddy, this guy isn't hiding his intentions to hit some stuff with his stick.

I really like the pose of this one. He's the only one in more than one piece- his right back leg was separate. 

This one is baring his teeth or yawning really big.

And finally is the rampant one up on his back legs ready to do some damage or maybe just scare someone off.

Here is the troop with Shefdu Sootootma, Tethru Harbinger of Thoth, since baboons are also creatures of Thoth they could possibly fit in nicely with Shefdu's next warband.
