Final 2 Amazon Hero Statues

The final two Amazons from a cheap Wonder Woman boardgame have finally been completed. They join their sisters to give me 5 slightly larger than normal human-sized 28mm figures for all sorts of uses (I never said anything about animated statues).

Al 5 Amazon statues, the color variations are striking with them lined up.

This Wonder Woman statue almost got an actual living demigoddess paintjob a few times, but I decided she'd look better joining the other statues from the game. Like the previous examples, I simply drybrushed with progressively lighter greys up to a sort of cream-white. Then there was a wash followed by a couple more layers of lighter grey drybrushing.

The final one, I don't know what Amazon she's supposed to be, is probably my favorite of all these statues. The pose, the long sword, that hair. This one almost got a live person paintjob too, she would have been great as a demigoddess rebased onto a 25mm square. It's interesting that each batch of these figures has  a slightly different stone color based on the washes and greys I chose to use. I like the variety.

These last 2 statues with a couple of Crocodile Miniatures figs- the converted Priestess of Isis to the Scorpion Sorceress, and a standard Amazon Spearwoman.

And the statues are joined with an Amazon on horseback.

Post Adepticon Painting Frenzy

 

After Adepticon, I was inspired to do some random miniatures for WarGods. Actually, these first couple were finished before Adepticon. 

First up is a weird little monster thing from the Wurmspat Underworlds set. He came on the base of the Nurgle witch, but I thought he'd be cool as a random little monster. Maybe for use in the Ankhara City of the Dead skirmish games.

Next is a fat little Cthulhu from an anonymous source. 

The first from after Adepticon is this Satyr Captain. I love the Olympus Satyrs and I just wanted to paint up some more, trying to get a second unit together. This guy, since he's on a round base, will not be part of the second unit. He's mainly just for fun.

A Horde Mummy, with a shield from the Hive Scum guys at Adepticon. I have a mad need to get rid of some of my older Horde Mummies and put some new ones into the pool of available miniatures. 

Finally, one of the test models for my Amazon Archers. She's been partially painted for years. I couldn't get her finished until I made myself buckle down and just finish her. Now I need to get the other one done so I can go after the rest of them.

There are a few more Satyrs that I've prepared which should be finished soon. Of course, there are also lots of other minis waiting for paint.

Amazon Attack '22 - Amazon War Witch

Since there's not a Crocodile Games mini for the Amazon War Witch (yet) I chose this 3d printed figure (designed by Crippled God Foundry) from an Etsy seller to fill that role.

It's a really great sculpt and she painted up quickly. I feel like the sculpt did most of the painting for me.

Now to find some Crone figures that will look greet next to her. But here is how she fits in with a couple of Amazon Spearwomen.

Amazon Attack '22 - Raider Standard and Musician

 

More mounted Amazons gallop off the painting table. These two are minor conversions to get a Raider standard and musician because they would be useful additions to a larger unit.

The musician was given a plastic horn from an old GW High Elf kit. I thought about a more elaborate conversation with her blowing the horn with either the shield or spear on her back but in the end decided simply stowing the horn on her back would work best.

For the standard I though about chopping off the spear tip and using one of various devices to make a fancier standard. But I like how the spears look so I went with some plastic bits that seemed like they would work better for the no-nonsense Raiders. It's simple, but they know what it stands for.

Here we have the Standard and Musician with the recently finished Raider Heroine.

Amazon Attack '22 - Kylissma Raider Heroine

I've wanted to do something with this Amazon heroine model since I first saw the greens. Well it finally happened and I think it turned out pretty good.

She got chopped in half (which was way easier than I expected) and combined with the legs of one of the Raider minis. I then magnetized her and the horse because her long spear will make storage and transport a little dangerous. 

Her spear arm came from some other Crocodile Games figure (maybe a Spartan?) but it looks right. Her shield was smoothed out and became a  stumbling block because I couldn't figure out what I wanted to freehand on it. I tried some teeth but they just looked too orky. So she sat untouched for weeks as I tried to get some inspiration. 

I was searching through some old plastic bits and came across an old High Elf musician with a lion's leg fur part. And there you go. I drew the swirls in the background of the shield with a micron pen. I thought maybe they would represent some tentacles or maybe just some design. 

The horse needed a little something more to show that it's also part of this heroine. I have various plastic GW feather bits and decided these looked best. When I was almost done I realized I didn't like how the left side of her face came out so I gave her some fierce half-skull facepaint. 

She is able to sit on the other magnetized horses (even though I just randomly put the magnets in- they luckily matched how I'd done the originals). I really like her pose and I feel like the colors help her stand out as a heroine.
