HERAKLES

HERAKLES

I DECIDED TO USE A HASSLEFREE  MINIATURE TO DO HERAKLES, THE FOUNDRY MINIATURE DIDN'T LOOK AS MEAN AND MOODY OR AS MUSCULAR AS THIS FIGURE.I SILL HAVE A CHARACTER FOR THE FOUNDRY FIGURE THAT WILL BE UP ON A LATER POST

HECTOR! HECTOR ! HECTOR !

HECTOR

HECTOR, PARIS' BROTHER AND FUTURE KING OF TROY. IF HE CAN SURVIVE THAT IS WITH THE MIGHT OF ALL GREECE ARRIVING ON HIS DOORSTEP, THANKS TO PARIS STEALING MENELAUS' WIFE HELEN. I CHOSE THIS FOUNDRY FIGURE BECAUSE THE ARMOUR LOOKS EXPENSIVE. I TRIED TO PAINT HIM TO LOOK REGAL AN EXPERIENCED FIGHTER AND READY TO DEFEND NO MATTER WHAT.

 I ALSO TRIED TO MAKE HIS SHIELD LOOK WELL USED

 NO ONE SHALL GET PAST HECTOR

AGAMEMNON'S BROTHER MENELAUS

MENELAUS

MENELAUS  USED BY HIS BROTHER AS AN EXCUSE TO ATTACK THE POWERFUL CITY OF TROY BECAUSE HELEN HAD RUNAWAY WITH THE YOUNG PRINCE PARIS.THE FOUNDRY FIGURE I CHOSE HAD THE LOOK OF A SOLDIER TIRED OF FIGHTING JUST WISHING HE COULD GO HOME WHICH IS WHAT MENELAUS WANTED WITH HELEN OR WITH HER AND PARIS DEAD A MAN WITH MANY TROUBLES

 I TRIED TO MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE A SPARTAN WITH A A CRIMSON CLOAK AND SPARTAN SHIELD DESIGN

 WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME HELEN?

THE KING OF TROY

AGAMEMNON

THE MAN WHO WOULD DESTROY THE ANCIENT CITY OF TROY HE WANTED TO RULE THE WHOLE GREEK EMPIRE.I CHOSE THIS FOUNDRY FIGURE TO BE AGAMEMNON AS IT SHOWS AUTHORITY POINTING THE WAY TO TROY AND ALSO A VERY MOODY FACE.

 BEFORE THE SHADING AND THE BASE COVERING I WANT TO EVENTUALLY DO SOME SCENES WITH THE FIGURES BUT DON'T KNOW WETHER TO DO SAND OR GRASS SO DID A BIT OF BOTH

 ON TO TROY

MORE THEN JUST A MYRMIDON

PATROCLUS

PATROCLUS THE BEST FRIEND OF ACHILLES I CHOSE THIS FIGURE TO BE PATROCLUS BECAUSE IT SHOWS A MAN AS IF HE IS ENCOURAGING SOME TROOPS TO FIGHT LIKE HE IS MAKING A SPEECH TO THE MYRMIDONS TO FIGHT FOR ACHILLES AS HE DOES HIMSELF.AS YOU CAN MAYBE  TELL I LIKE THIS FOUNDRY MINIATURES FIGURE.

 I PAINTED A FISH ON THE SHIELD AS I COULD IMAGINE ACHILLES AND PATROCLUS FISHING TO RELIEVE THE STRESSES OF FIGHTING

 FOR ACHILLES !

ACHILLES

I PAINTED THIS FIGURE BASED ON BRAD PIT IN TROY THE FIGURE IS A FOUNDRY 28MM FIGURE

HERACLES WIFE

DEIANIRA

DEIANIRA HERACLES 2ND WIFE SHE WAS AN AMAZON THE FIGURE I USED FOR HER WAS A FIGURE FROM HASSLEFREE MINIATURES A BRILLIANT FIGURE REALLY EASY TO PAINT AND VERY LIGHT WEIGHT WHICH MAKES IT EASIER TO HOLD WITH MY ON GOING SPINAL TROUBLE.I WAS DRINKING A CAN OF GREEN MONSTER WHICH AS YOU WILL SEE INSPIRED MY SHIELD DESIGN 

 THE FIRST 2 IS BEFORE I'VE ADDED THE SHADING
