I came accros this little 6mm Greek fantasy line from Rapier Miniatures a little while ago and decided to order some to check them out. I bought a pack each of armoured hoplites, chimeras, hydras, gryphons and harpies. I LOVE THEM!!! The casts are nice and crisp with almost no cleanup necessary, lots of nice detail and easy to paint. I painted these in a few days time , mostly between shifts at work :-) I like these figures so much that I have now ordered the rest of the range too. Also, I accidentally ordered two packs of the chimera's, so I decided to try my hand at converting one to a manticore. I chopped of the lion, goat and dragon head, beheaded a 28mm Kahdoran winterguard and glued his head onto the chimera body. Add some green stuff and... Here's a shot with a painted original so you can compare And with some paint on... The two stone hoplites are for when the gorgon arrives with the next batch of minis. And the last thing for now, the first of the buildings I plan on building, a generic greek looking temple, still a bit rough around the edges but it should do me for the first few test games at least. The roof and walls lift away so the figures can move inside too. I won't be doing this for any of the smaller buildings but I like my larger buildings to be a bit more than just big blocks of impassible terrain. Next will probably be 5 or 6 small simple rectangular houses to beef up the town, or maybe the next batch of minis should they arrive first. I also havn't yet gotten my copy of the rules I plan on using so things may change based on whats needed in different senarios. Oh, for those of you intersted I plan on using the Typhon rules by Alternative Armies. Well that's it for now. Cheers, Stroezie.

I could't resist making another temple. This one is more of a shrine, I imagine it atop a lonely wind swept cliff where our heros have sought refuge from their persuit, but who does this temple belong to... I've also recieved my copy of the Alternative Armies Typhon rules. Reading through them now, hope to get in my first test game somewhere next week.

No, the dread gazebo only attacks in self defence, when it does however its wrath is terrible to behold and makes even the titans tremble;-))

Howdy,
Dude! I don't care much for things less than 28mm. But I have to say, you make the tiniest awesome...
Kev!
