Crocodile Games’ Mounted Amazons Rush Into Battle
July 8, 2019 by brennon
Crocodile Games are mounting up alongside their Amazonians and Queen Penthesilea in order to hunt down the interlopers who dared step into their realm.
This daring and feisty Queen is shown charging into battle, ready to loose her spear at some foolish idiot who dared to challenge her army. I love the fact that the sculpt shows off just how masterful a rider Penthesilea is with no saddle, controlling the horse with no doubt an unshakable bond. It is a very dynamic sculpt and perfect for the leader of a Fantasy force.

As well as the Queen we also got a peek at two sets of riders as well. The first of these is the set of Amazon Raiders who are outfitted for a good scrap.
The sculpts here again are good but they show the Amazons getting ready in their battleline rather than charging into the action which I would have liked to have seen. They ar still stunning pieces though, giving us a look at some of the heavily armoured elements of the Amazonian army.
Armed to take on enemies at range there is also a set of Amazon Outriders.
Armed with bows, these Amazonians are going to be harrying the flanks of the enemy force, picking off foes at range. They will be a perfect screening force for your army as it gets into position for a devastating attack.
Whilst this set of releases is for the expanding WarGods range I think they would make a good backbone for your Age Of Magic or Warlords Of Erehwon force. The selection of additional options spreads to other Mythological forces from Ancient Greece and there are a few Gods in the mix too. So, it's worth considering as a larger mass battle Fantasy force.
What do you make of these new Amazonians?

Fabulous Amazonian warrior cavalry.
Nice minis, but not sure they’d get any use at my table. RPG’s is the primary game for us and cavalry have very limited use in that… and I don’t have (or need) a greek skirmish game.
Glad to see you guys like the Amazons. If you guys want to see their Rules/Background, you can read it here:
