PanzerKaput's Mortal Gods
Athenians, The start of a new Faction
Having completes a generic Greek city state faction and a Spartan faction I have now turned my attention to the Athenians. This kind of makes sense considering Mortal Gods is set in the Peloponnesian War so having the Athenians to fight the Spartans makes sense.
These all come from the Footsore Miniatures and Games faction box for Athens and they are mainly Victrix figures, there Athenians, with the special characters being from Footsore. They look amazing and are a dream to paint.
I have assembled these guys without their shields so I can paint the whole of the figure without the shield getting in the way. This means that I will be painting the shields on their own.
These are the first unit I started to paint for the Athenians consisting of three stands of three Peripoloi, or Medium to Light Athenian Hoplites. These guys are the backbone of the Athenian army being mainly citizen soldiers generally given a shield and a spear to fight with.
I have gone for giving my Athenians blue tunics as blue is the colour of Athens, yes I do know that in reality they wore what they had and there would be a myriad of colours but I wanted a force that said Athenians just like my Spartans say Spartans.
I have painted most of the large area colours and now it is the leather work, the details and the basing to do.
Very nice work
Thanks you @torros
It’s taken a while but I’ve just realised these are the same photos that I saw on the Wargames spot Facebook page
Yes they are as I posted them on there before here. I have redone the pictures to hopefully make them look better, lol.
