Mortal Gods: Themysciran Lochos and Companions

Completing my Mortal Gods Themysciran Amazon Lochagos are the Lochos and her two companions. The models are from Bronze Age Miniatures Amazon range with the wire spears replaced with Victrix plastic ones and spare shields from the old Wargames Factory Amazons.

And here is the pride of Themyscira all together, ready to battle Athens, Sparta and the even maybe the Gods...

Mortal Gods: Themysciran Hoplites

Continuing to paint up my Mortal Gods Themysciran lochagos I have now completed the backbone of the army, two phalanxes of Amazonian Hoplites.

The models are the old Wargames Factory Amazons, not the greatest models but by no means as bad as people recall. They were block painted and then Soft Tone dipped before some highlights painted on. Shield decals are some old Immortal ones I had hanging around.

I am not very happy with the official Sarissa bases. Unlike bases from Warbases or Charlie Foxtrot the holes are not totally cut through and no matter how much sanding I've done the fit is extremely tight and I am concerned the plastic models may get damaged if I attempt to remove them as casualties so I may have to use a dice...

Mortal Gods: Themysciran Psiloi

At long last I have made some progress on my first planned lochagos for Mortal Gods. Having some of the old Wargames Factory Amazon hoplites still sitting around after I chopped up some to make cenaturides a few years back I thought it would be fun to raise a Themysciran Amazon Lochagos!

I planned out the force before the game was released based on some sample forces being shown off by Footsore so when it is completed there will be 18 hoplites, 9 psiloi and 3 leaders/heroines. Whilst I had the hoplites I needed to source other miniatures for the remainder of the lochagos, Bronze Age Miniatures providing some suitable heroic leaders and Eureka Miniatures the lighter armed psiloi.

They are all on the workbench together but the psiloi were finished first. The models were block painted, Soft Tone dipped and then highlights added... For basing I tried Luke's APS Mediterranean Soil Base Ready mix for a change.
