JoeK Minis Show Off Their Awesome Hephaestus Casts
October 14, 2014 by dracs
JoeK Minis have just received the casts of their first Odyssey miniature, the mighty Hephaestus!
This 72mm colossus is truly impressive miniature The detail is all extremely crisp, with his ornate armour perfectly picked out and touches like his leg braces instantly noticeable.
Hephaestus was, of course, the Greek god of fire and forge. Crippled by his mother Hera, he nonetheless forged some of the greatest weapons of the gods, including Zeus' mighty lightning bolts. From the looks of this model, JoeK have something a bit more scifi in mind. Fortunately for us, it should be going up for pre-order soon and I cannot wait to see what other gods JoeK might have up their sleeve.
Are you going to pick up this Greek god?
Nice!
I hope there are different head and weapon options.
I don’t think that there are, at least not at the moment.
Reminds me of the Aliens from fifth element? Minus the hammer.
Very nice! awesome detailing
I’m interested to see what more this range has to come
Want want want!!!!
The price is due to go up today and pre-orders start on Friday.
Lovely detail, not keen on the head half way down the body style though. Similar to Warmahordes and I’ve never been a massive fan of their stuff either. Nice hammer though..;)
Definitely going to get one of these – would be a fantastic boss for some dungeon-crawling type games – absolutely love the aesthetic and the styling.
Now just need to find something of a similar style that could be used for his minions..
I like the cog and Ancient Greek details, but I’m not too keen on the hexagonal grid detail on the hammer.
I know that this is very nit picking, but reading it really grinds my grammar-gears; “The detail is all extremely crisp”. “Is all”? That means that ONE detail is crisp. You can’t write “detail”, pertaining to a singular detail, and then say “all”, because “all” refers to more than one detail.
What you should’ve written is this: The details are extremely crisp.
That’s my nit-picking over, I’ll crawl back under my rock now, good bye, lol. 😛
As a grammar pedant myself, what you say is true. However, my statement is still grammatically correct, just not as concise.
I know, I was just having one of those pedantic moments. I wasn’t going to say anything, but the curse of the inner pedant came to the fore and took over, lol. 😛
Inner something alright… 😛
I use “detail” as a non-count noun. The syntax in the sentence might be clunky, it should be “All of the detail is really crisp”, but that aside, there’s no issue with it.
reminds me of the Dwemer guardians in skyrim
