When the Gods Wage War-RUN

                                   Like the Mortals who worship them, the gods are often angry, jealous or just plain fed-up with each other. And like petty tyrants with power everywhere, these feeling often lead to war!

   

Sobek the Powerful, Egyptian Crocodile God of the Nile-Leader of Armies. One of the greatest, and oldest of the Ancient Egyptian gods Being the deadliest creature in the Nile with a warrior's heart and cunning mind combine to make him a brutal enemy.

Chronos the great creator not only did he form the world, but he also created war.
Eating his own children, gives an ample example of his love of bloodshed. 
Helos is not known for his love of violence, but even he can lose his temper when angered.
Apollo is about to demonstrate why you don't want to anger a Sun god. 
Hermes, herald to the Greek Gods, was also the patron of travelers, merchants, commerce, public speakers and thieves. The messages he delivers are often inflammatory enough to start wars between any god.
Poseidon, King of the Oceans, normally appears in his human form, but not today, for today the Gods are going to war with the Titans.
Hephaestus, as the Greek God of Fire and Forges, is the weaponsmith for all the Olympian gods. 
And no one loves the weapons and armor of Hephaestus as does Arie the God of War. Aries enjoys nothing more than bloody wars filled with true "Battles Royals" and lots of carnage.
Mimir was once a handsome Norse God known for his wisdom and knowledge. But he lost his head in the Aesir-Vanir War (Actually he lost his body, while his head retains his deep knowledge of the world secrets.). 

TREMBLE...FOR I AM THOR...FEAR MY WRATH. (Enough said)
I am Njord, God of the Seas, Fishing, Wind and Wealth-Bestowed (Prosperity). Warriors of the waves, raiders and the like answer my beck and call. 
Never known for his peaceful deminer, Try is prone to anger quickly. And Being the God of War losing his temper can lead to massive bloodshed. 
Freyr, son of the Sea God Njord, is respected and beloved as the god of Weather, Peace, Fertility, Bountiful Harvests and Prosperity. But when battle becokes he is always among the first and formost.

Vidar brave, brutal and the ultimate survivor. The Norns (fates) have chosen him to never fall in battle.

Loki, the Trickster God/Giant of Norse fame. He is the "Blood Brother" to Woden (not his son). When it comes to battle, he prefers to send his minions first so that he can strike his enemies while they are distracted-a true "Backstabber."

Mounted on his powerful and mystical warhorse Sleipnir and armed with his matchless rune encrusted spear Gungnir, is the leader of the Aesir-Woden the All Father. His greatest battle will be his last "Ragnarok!.

When gods war, the World trembles, for such is the nature of the gods-to draw in their followers into wars of the gods choosing.

 The gods rarely die in their near ceaseless conflicts, not so for their human followers. So, when the gods war, look to your own life and run...  

All these are plastic pieces that I have painted over the last decade.
