Greek mythology revisited

Posted by PhilC on 22 Dec 2016, 12:15

Hi everyone.

Today I would like to show you pictures inspired by greek mythology - hoplites and psiloi against a hydra, whose color scheme I found on the web. I would like to thank the author of the original mini, his(or her) colors gave me the opportunity me to complete a mini I bought in... 1984 !

Psiloi skirmishing carefully around the hydra

A spartan hoplite approaching the beast

He obviously needs help - a theban hoplite is here in a dangerous position
Image

The hydra was too strong. After defeating the greek warrior, it goes back to its amazon mistress
Image

Casting:
- psiloi by Zvezda
- hoplites by Atlantic and Zvezda
- amazon by Dark Alliance
- hydra by Ral Partha

Hope you like them ;-)

Great! A very original idea, I don't think that I ever saw such a scene before. This hydra is really a nice figure (in terms of sculpting, not in terms of its behavior). And a great paintjob, too!

Nice work, I like how do you paint the Hydra scales, looks like a real snake body, and the evil expression of the faces.
The history is funny and very original :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: That Amazon will never get a boyfriend if she no don't change of pet.
