Trish Carden Pulls A Hercules & Takes On Footsore’s Hydra
October 17, 2019 by brennon
Trish Carden, one of the most celebrated sculptors in the business, has been working hard on more monsters for Footsore Miniatures & Games' Mythic Expansion for Mortal Gods. This week saw previews for an epic Hydra popping up.
This absolutely awesome model is going to be coming to Kickstarter in November alongside a whole range of heroes and additional models as they ramp up the Fantasy elements available for those who want to push Mortal Gods that little further.
The model looks very cool indeed and as you can see there are plenty of signs that it has already been in quite the titanic struggle. Maybe Hercules has already had a shot at taking on this beast and now calls on the help of fellow warriors to tackle it and bring it down.
Showing off an impressive level of skill, this was painted by Giuseppe Chiafele of Axia Painting Studio and hopefully, this will be a good blueprint for those who want to start painting their own when the Kickstarter delivers.
What do you make of the Hydra and what other Greek creatures would you like to see them work on?

Wow. That is gorgeous! Trish has been sculpting since I was in short pants and I’ve been a fan for a very long time.
Hydra’s a difficult model to get right and she’s bang on, here!
This model has a great Harryhausen vibe, love it!
Gonna have to have it guarding a golden fleece!
It’s a great looking model and excellent paint job, with it fully assembled though I just don’t know if I could actually paint something remotely like this.
that is actually a really good point!!! I totally assemble everything before painting.. but yeah.. might be key here to do some of those neck & head segments as sub-assemblies!
And that would then worry me how to get a perfect looking fit afterwards… It’s obviously possibly, so that’s the challenge I guess 🙂
Ooh hell Hydra.
A great Dragon figure model.
Brilliant for any adventurers table.
very nice miniature and very nicely painted.
has its own saliva in the mouths very nice but delicate.
curious which monster will come next.
From Trish’s page, there is a Cyclops we’ve already seen, a chimera, and a basilisk looking thing… I’d have to imagine a sphynx is a possibility (based on setting in Mortal Gods/Greek myths)… but yeah! great stuff!
Love it.
Amazing looking stuff! And amazing paint job!!!
So looking forward to this model, plus the Cyclops that they’ve shown off as well… plus of course the Mythic expansion for Mortal Gods.
I’m currently elbow deep in Spartans, Mercenary Greeks, and currently using Iberians + Spartan bits to make some additional javelin throwers for my Spartan force.
Definitely can’t recommend trying out Mortal Gods by Footsore enough!
Not bad… Could make for a fun new pet for my Dark Elf army’s beast handlers.
