Something Monstrous

Another week with no playing once again means some good progress on the painting front. The week I have been working on more Mythic Battles models with several monsters and a couple of heroes being completed.

Arachne comes with some free bodyguards included and has a crowd control ability she can use to try and lock her opponents in place.

Echidna looks like a good counter-monster unit with her inbuilt resistance to the damage they dish out and a potent looking poison effect to wear the enemy down.

The Gorgon has the power Petrify ability and being a flying unit the mobility to get to the location it will cause the most damage. She looks like she could be a real handful especially against troop heavy forces.

Campe looks to be a solid damage dealer and being an amalgamation of scorpion, snake and woman likely to haunt a few peoples sleep.

If you want to stop your opponent claiming those all important omphalos then having the Python to hand is a must. Being able to stop the claim action in every area touching the one it occupies will cause the enemy real problems.

Cecrops brings some solid damage and also 2 Art of War cards which with his Worship ability you can make sure you have in your hand to play. The choice of extra move or longer range each turn also make him rather flexible.

The final model is Marsyas who is a pure support hero. He cannot attack but he can be used to pull the opposition Divinity out of position which could be useful if for instance you are playing Ares against a Divinity that wants to stay at range.

The Greeks seem to have had a thing for snake-monsters but I have now completed all of the them that came with the Kickstarter that I bought last year. When the second batch arrive next I will get a few more snakes and tentacle based monsters to paint up.
