Demigod Games Summon Ares To The Battlefield!
July 7, 2014 by brennon
Demigod Games have been working very hard on Conquest of the Gods for the past few weeks and months and rounding off a series of render previews we have a look at Ares, the Greek God of War!
The model comes standing on the ruins of some building he has clearly decimated with his warriors and as if he is lashing out cutting down his enemies in a bloody swathe. You might think that blood splatter is there just for effect but that's actually a part of the miniature (that you can leave off if you like) showing his ferocity on the battlefield.
Ares comes in at 31mm so he's a little taller (as you'd expect) than the other mere mortals and is wearing a mixture of historically accurate armour and other bits made to given him a more epic feel. The cape (which is also a separate part you can leave off) would be brilliant for a bit of free hand work too don't you think?
A rather awesome looking God!

Damn.
Great miniature! I’m not up on Greek god weaponry as I should be. Did Ares use an axe?
Might be an option, because if you go to the demigod games page, he has a spear.
Had another look, it is actually a spear in all the pictures, the angle makes it look more axe like.
Think they went for the ‘epic’ looking spear rather than something we’re used to seeing aye. Not bad at all – and I’m actually quite a fan of the blood splatter.

great looking model, with an awesome swath of blood, personally iv’e not seen anything like that before, would definitely keep that as part of him 😀
I like this model’s style, Heavy Metal meets Greek Hoplite. 😀
Hi everyone thanks for the encouraging feedback! I’m glad you like the blood splatter, it has been fun to experiment with things like the blood on Ares and see how far we can take it. I can’t wait to get the game released and show you all some of the other great sculpts we have on the way!

@demigodgames Ares going to be available separately?
Hi deaddave, if the kickstarter does well (and we are planning that it will) then we will make him available separately, though for the kickstarter the god models will be sold as part of the starter sets to help off set their costs and make delivery more manageable.
