The Halodyne Amazons Ride The Plains In Godslayer
October 9, 2013 by brennon
It looks like we're going to have a few riding models today in the news stream and Megalith Games are not to be left out with their addition to the Halodyne Faction for Godslayer. The Amazon Hunters are out in force...
It looks like these Amazon women are riding into battle atop an Ibex or some kind, or just some strange horned creature from their own fantasy world. The fluff behind these women is actually quite interesting and paints them as more nomadic wanderers than jungle dwelling guardians.
They are fast and nimble and excel at ranged combat as well as hit and run attacks. Quite the neat addition to an army filled with armoured and shielded warriors on foot. Model wise it looks like they have stuck very closely to the concept art and got some very fine and delicate looking animals and riders for us to enjoy.
Now let's see them painted and out there Megalith!

I haven’t been big on this line. Something about them always looked a bit off to me, but I have to say these are great looking figures. May have to go back for a second look.
I had the same overall opinion for a while. I decided to pull the trigger and get the Troglodyte starter after seeing a demo of the rules. And I was very happy with what I got, even the Feral Hammerfist which looked a bit off in pics. Once in your hand he is much nicer. I think Megalith’s problem is that they don’t know how to display their models well. The photos are often kind of flat and their old studio painter, while not bad (he’s better than me) did a poor job I feel in bringing out the detail… Read more »
Oh yes. This is a case of poor studio paint-job on overall great minis.
Bit hard to tell from the small images, but they look nice. And I agree that it’s nice to see some non-skimpy female miniatures for a change.
They are gorgeous already! I might even exchange my well working proxies for those when they are eventually released.
