“And so a barrow to this hero was raised in that land, and there stands a token for men of later days to see, the trunk of a wild olive tree, such as ships are built of; and it flourishes with its green leaves a little below the Acherusian headland.”

What Greek leader would be caught dead with out his wine jug?

Now here is where I have failed and go on a tangent. Normally, I paint some models, take some notes, paint more models, take more notes, and repeat until I get around to taking photos and the writing blog posts. Well, unfortunately, these, as well as my next few posts worth of models, were all painted during the holiday season and I forgot to take notes. Oops! But, I'm pretty sure no one comes here for my painting recopies anyway. The only two parts I remember are the bronze armor was painted using (in order) Scale 75 Decayed Metal, Old Copper, Victorian Brass, Amber Alchemy and Moonstone Alchemy.



Both shields were airbrushed with their respective colors and a few highlights were added before the transfers were applied and, once sealed, painted over. Finally, I applied a bunch of various dusty pigments to the bases and got a little on the shield as well.

Warning, the vibrancy was cranked way up so that the shadows of the transfer weren't washed out.

One other thing that War Banner has discussed is the possibility of adding some mythological components in the future. So just to be ready, I also painted up this Bear's Head undead Spartan I had lying around. You know, just in case!

He was painted pretty much the same but with way more weathering!
