Relic Miniatures Bow Before the God of War
February 23, 2014 by dracs
Ares! Mighty Olympian god of war, great warrior and lover of Aphrodite. And now a 28mm mini from Relic Miniatures.
Kitted out in Spartan style armour, Ares here is posed in mid-charge and ready to impale some Persians. The only thing he is missing is the iconic full-faced helmet. Ares is just too hard-core for head protection.
Will you get Ares to lead the armies of Greece?
Do gods have shorter legs than humans? Also, he’s not all that buff for a god.
The legs look correctly proportioned to me. Don’t let the posture or the clothing deceive you.
It’s nice model, but I can’t really see this as Ares. A Spartan Champion or maybe even King Leonidas but not the God Of War. He doesn’t seem to portray any of the rage and bloodlust which he represented.
Is “300” peoples only frame of reference for Greek warfare? :p
Don’t forget the god of war games.
Now this is an Ares model, even got one on order from crocodile games http://www.crocodilegames.com/content/factions/Ares_360.jpg
I’ve got one coming in my KS pledge.
Same, ordered the lovely looking mechanical minotaur as well.
