WarGods Minis Month'14 Update 2

Finally more painting and some completed minis for WarGods Minis Month 2014!

 The Eater of the Dead gets some attention in this update. It's been quite some time since I've painted any figures for my already impressive Eater of the Dead warband (it's size is probably closer to 2 Warbands at this point).

 From Reaper, it's a Nefsokar Mummy Standard Bearer (officially Mummy Standard 6). The symbol I painted on the standard first was an Ankh which I then mostly covered with what I can only guess is some horrbile Eater symbol that means something really bad.

 And from Crocodile Games is a Heru Crypt Lord. I've decided to name him Shamutanti. I think he'd make a good Dark Harbinger too.

WarGods Minis Month'14 Update 1

 The now annual WarGods Minis Month has finally begun. Not really a calendar month, I will paint up as many WarGods (Ægyptus, Olympus, etc) related minis as I can. This one will go to mid August- around the 17th or 18th.

 This first batch has been almost done for quite a while but finally got matte coated (some problem with my matte sealer caused some white areas that I'll be cleaning up soon). This update is mostly Dark Fable Egyptian Harem Miniatures from their 3 Indiegogo campaigns.

First up- a Dark Fable Bodyguard who will most likely see service as an Asar Champion or an 'Empty Palm' thug in skirmish games.

 Next we have 2 of the Dark Fable Eunuch Harem Guards. Both took the most of the matte sealer issues- they have areas of crusty looking white that should not be there and will eventually get cleaned up.

 Here we have an olde i-Kore Celtos mini. This guy is also part of the Wizards '14 project. I've wanted to paint this thing up since it was first released- I'm glad I waited until now.

 Another Dark fable mini- she's meant to be a harem girl or handmaiden but I decided to add the Crocodile games cat and paint her up as a sorceress or witch. I've decided to name her Kawet and she is also part of the Wizards '14 project.

 Finally we have another Dark Fable miniature. This is the Vizier but again he's been drafted into the Wizards '14 project. He will likely serve as a Master of Words and has been dubbed Dasuwentep. He's also probably evil.

Ægyptian Lady and the Original 3 Harem Girls

I have finally gotten to the original Harem Girls from Mike Burns' first Indiegogo campaign as well as an Egyptian Lady from the second campaign. This has allowed my conscience the freedom to pledge on the current third campaign.

 The Lady doesn't look as leaning when she's with other minis.

The Lady and her attendants/daughters meet the most famous King of Memphis Impersonator and his bodyguards...

Wizards 2014- WarGods Babylonian Winged Sorcerer

 This is another of the "Lucifer's War" minis from West Wind. Amazerac the Conjurer. He's also the first mini of 2014. And part of both the "Wizards 2014" project (to paint up lots of wizardly-type figures throughout the year) and the still mostly unplanned "Babylonian Project" to make a WarGods God Kings of Babylon warband.

3 New Titan Slaves!

You can see more about the 3 newest Titan Slaves at the Minismith's Forge blog HERE.

The second from the left is an official Crocodile Games Titan Slave to help show the new Slaves sizes...

 This dude is in serious trouble...

Finally, a sneak peek at the Titan Overlord with the Croc Mascot Sebeki for scale.

WarGods Minis Month'13 Update 12

I thought the Wargames Factory plastic Amazons were cool (which they are), but these Victrix plastic Hoplites are just as cool!

 In the Croc Kickstarter I went for the Amazons, mostly, because they're the figures and theme that I felt was most exciting. then I picked up these Athenians and decided a few phalanxes of Athenians and possibly mercenaries or something would be pretty cool too. There are "Battle Honors" that city-states can get for their phalanxes-- this first batch of Athenians has the "Poseidon's Faithful" Battle Honor (at least they have that option once the rules come out) which means they each need to have a trident on their shield. I rarely paint units up in any sort of regimented way, so each one of these first 7 (probably just 5 more of these guys to complete the phalanx) has a different trident on his shield...

 The 3rd from left is not only one of my favorite poses I put together so far, but also the favorite shield.

 The middle guy is my other favorite pose so far (along with the headswap to add more variety because I don't like the remaining helmets on the sprue). I also really like these last 2 shields on the right with their more abstract tridents...

 The Poseidon's Faithful form up against some Titans!

For comparison purposes- (left to right) Wargamse Factory Amazon, Victrix Athenian, Crocodile Games Spartan, Victrix Athenian, and Crocodile Games Heru. Not a bad fit since they'll be in their own units...

WarGods Minis Month'13 Update 11

TITANS!!!

So my plan for a Titan warband is to have almost every Titan be different from the others (especially the Slaves). So I've been gathering lots of larger minis together for years now in anticipation of starting the painting and construction. With the extension of WarGods Minis Month through this weekend I had to put a few together and get them painted...

 One of the Crocodile Games Titan Slaves.

 A Privateer Bridge Troll that is currently my favorite of all the Titans painted so far.

 And finally a Growler fromt he Vor line of minis.

 A couple comparison shots with one of the Crocodile Games Minotaurs.

And finally, some human-sized figures (Wargames Factory Amazons) up against the Slaves.
