A Cyclops Stomps Into Footsore’s World Of Mortal Gods
September 16, 2019 by brennon
Mortal Gods is getting mythical with the addition of some monstrous new creatures soon. The first of these was previewed by sculptor Trish Carden last week and takes the form of a mighty Cyclops!
This towering fellow stands head and shoulders above pretty much anything else from the range so far. To give you an idea of scale, a regular soldier comes up to about his knee! He comes armed with some dangerous weapons like that tree which he has turned into a brutal club.
You can also see he has collected some trophies in his time, strapping the heads of dead warriors to his belt as a reminder of just how tough this fellow is. It will be interesting to see how he and the other monsters fit into the world of Mortal Gods Mythic, most likely as elements you can hire into your warband. I do like the idea of having to go up against one of these though in a proper 'Troll Hunt' scenario.
It will be neat to see what else they come out with model-wise for Mythic. I would like to see some satyrs, perhaps a gorgon or two? If you have access to Mythic Battles: Pantheon you could always raid that collection for a while until we see what else Footsore have waiting in the wings! Make sure you get a herd of sheep to use alongside this fellow though...
What do you make of this big ol' Cyclops?

He looks like a good troll alternative for blood bowl… how big is he?
As I said above, a 28mm miniature comes up to his knee.
I really should keep myself from posting this early XD Sorry @brennon I feel rather stupid now. But being so big it’s bit too big for Blood Bowl.
He might be a bit big for that! It is massive.
Andy Hobday showed off some other pics, and this big fella is on an 80mm round base… so definitely more giant than ogre!
Loads of exciting stuff coming – Hydra and Jason and the Argonauts – all inspired by Ray Harryhausen. Worth watching the Chilling Wargamers from last week with Andy Hobday if you are interested in what is coming for Footsore.
That is one great looking cyclops.
Ooh he looks fantastic.
This is very relevant to my interests. Hoping they’ll follow this lad up with some more myth minis. Harpies please!
Yes, they already announced they’ll be doing a hydra, harpies, Medusa and her sisters, Jason and the Argonauts, plus more.. very cool!
Loving another manufacturer getting into Greek myths. Hoping there are harpies to follow (please!)
I think there are Harpies and Centaurs coming as well.
Oops. Thought the first didn’t get through
Great Sculpt really good painting.
Definitely has a touch of the Ray Harryhausen’s about it, excellent “miniature”.
