But this one.
Poseidon, brother of Zeus and Hades and ruler of the sea is the last of the Mythic Battles models I had left to paint up. He was the largest and most complex model in the expansions that I bought and took a good while to get completed, even with the extra painting time I have at present due to working from home every other week.
I went with roughly the same scheme as the other aquatic elements I had already completed from his expansion. The pink elements offer a good splash of colour against the blues.
In game terms Poseidon has good defence and vitality and is quick with speed 2, he also has an interesting crowd control mechanic for messing around with his opponents units or indeed letting you reposition your own units. His special attack is quite expensive but a three 7 dice area attacks could be a lot of individual attacks, Poseidon wants to be in the middle of the melee.
I also got the whole aquatic group together for a family shot as I had Poseidon out.
They are quite a fearsome group when all put together and you could build an aquatic themed force around Poseidon and one of the other big monsters all of whom are 5 points.
It's a shame that at least one of the monsters isn't less than 5 points (warbands can only include one 5+ point non-divinity) so you could field more of them together.
what are the yellow swimmers?
ReplyDeleteThose are Sirens, they are my least favorite model in the set, the details isn't great and the pose is rather odd.
DeleteThe heads need to be more down I think of the bodies more under water if they are looking up
DeleteVery nice. What paints were you using - contrast or normal?
DeleteCombination of both, a 'normal' undercoat with a contrast or ink wash over the top.
