Warriors of Athena/Saga: A lot more ancient and mythic Greek

This is Michi's tribute to 20 years of Lead Adventure Forum:

 

The idea was to contribute something for the anniversary that is somehow related to the date. Michi's first posting on LAF was showing scratch built houses for the old west, which seemed not appropriate to repeat. The current building and painting project is ancient Greece for both Saga and Warriors of Athena, which appears to be more en vogue. Michi chose to catch the spirit of the beloved Lead Painters' League competitions of the previous incarnations of LAF which used to be most entertaining and awe inspiring in quality. Fellow forum members put highest efforts to set the scene for their newly painted miniatures according to the requirements of the particular competitions' theme.

So Michi set up a table in open air and did some staged photo shooting of the recently painted and yet not shown Greek to honour this.

Here are Hekate and her skeletons in the hot springs ambushing Hephaistos and his hoplites.

 

Scottish Skirmishers

A few Scottish skirmishers for SAGA and PILLAGE. Plus a few sheep to capture.

Warriors of Athena: Lakedaimon, founder of Sparta

 

Gods walk among men in mythic Greece. Perhaps some are at least half-human beings, but Lakedaimon was a son of Zeus himself who mated a nymph called Taygete and is therefore not a bit human at all. The miniature started as a wrestler called "The Greek" and Michi knew exactly that he was more than that at first glance. Some conversion work later here is Lakedaimon, founder of Sparta.

Michi hatte diese Wrestlingfigur entdeckt und sofort gewusst, was damit zu tun war. Nach einiger Umbauarbeit ist er fertig: Lakedaimon, Sohn des Zeus und der Nymphe Taigete und der Gründer Spartas.
