3Bears Release the Hero of Troy
August 2, 2012 by dracs
No doubt about it, Achilles is one of the all time great heroes of Greek mythology. Well now you can get yourself your very own copy of this Greek hero with 3bear's new limited edition Achilles sculpt.
That's right 3bears are now selling a limited edition 30mm sculpt of the mighty hero with quite possibly the silliest weakness ever.
The sculpt itself is rather nice with a good "at the ready combat stance". You can imagine Achilles preparing to battle Hector in single combat armed with his famous shield forged by the god Hephaestus. Which begs the question, if you are invulnerable, why do you need an amazing shield forged by the gods?
The miniature seems reminiscent of the design of Brad Pitt's Achilles in the film Troy, so whether your a fan of ancient mythology or just plain epic war films this could be the mini for you.
What is your opinion of this miniature? What might you use it for?
Being a belt and braces sort of a guy, it works for me Sam
Plus who wouldn’t want some kit made by the smithy of the gods! lol
However the shield falls far short of the description in homer!
Come on where are all the battle scenes! lol
Very nice sculpt
This looks rather good. The pose has a lively feel to it.
