Mythical Agyptian Giant Scorpion¶

With a recent restock of brushes and colours, I ordered this scorpion for my Mythical Agyptians - the first mythical element. I assembled it and mounted it on a base by Product for Wargamers, by planting the tips of the legs in some Miliput for a stronger connection.

The base colours are all applied, colours are the same as with the bowmen.

Having finished the Bowmen, the Axemen are next. I started by basecoating them in Vallejo grey primer.

Planning to do a lot of painting next week (I have the week off work), I prepared another pack of Foundry Miniatures.


[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
Mythical Agyptian Bowmen¶

I do not have enough open projects yet, so following our first games of Song of Blades and Heroes (game 1, game 2), we decided to play more games with this fun rulesystem.

As background, we decided for mythical ancients, so historical armies with living mummies, harpies, minotaurs, etc.

I choose Agyptians. The first models I started to work on are 8 bowmen. These are about 6-7 too many than I will need with the small scale warbands in SoFH, but Foundry only sells them in packs of 8.

After priming the models, I started with a brown basecoat on the bows. I then painted stripes in two different darker browns to break up the even surface and hint at wood grain.
