2 Fisted No-2 Swords Yes

Who needs a shield when you have two swords? So, say these veteran Greek warriors.
                                                   I painted these plastic pieces in 2018

Echidna Greek Mother of Monsters

With her infamous mate Typhon, Echinda was the parent to many of the greatest monsters of Ancient Greece.
A partial list of Echinda's children includes Cerberus, Orthrus, the Lernaean Hydra,
 the Chimera, Nemean Lion, Greek Sphinx, the Ladon Serpent, the Gorgon,
the Caucasian Eagle, Scylla, Python and the Harpies.
                                She truly earned the title "Mother of Monsters!" 
Of course, the cursed hoplite, Hiktos Nuluk is fated to meet her in battle, 
as he has so many of her offspring. Battle yes, victorious no-such is the painful life of Brave Hiktos Nuluk.

I painted Echidna in the summer of 2021, she is a large monster piece from Mystic Battles.

The Red Berets

                  The Red Berets show that the British Paratroops have landed.
Elite troops, trained to hold advanced positions until relief arrives, this squad of paratroopers stands ready for whatever the future holds. 
                   I put together and painted these Red Berets in 2018.

Judge of the Dead


Once King of Crete, Rhadamanthus is now one of the three judges of the dead. Rhadamanthus, whose name means " Showing Stern and Inflexible Judgements," judges dead Easterners, while Aeacus judges dead Westerners.  Rhadamanthus's brother Minos is the third judge with the power of the "casting vote" (tie breaker).
Rhadamanthus is a plastic piece I painted in 2018 for Mythic Battles.

We'll Set Up There Next

Europe, 1944, a British paratroop sniper team chooses its next location to ready for the next German counterattack.
The two-man team will patiently wait for the perfect targets, strike and move to yet another prechosen location to start the process over again. 

I put together this plastic team in 2018.

Chains Will Never Binde Me....

No chains will never bind me, for Perseus will save me!
So shouts Andromeda daughter of King Cepheus and Queen Cassiopia of Joppa.
Since her mother's boasting of Andromeda beauty offended the gods an put her in chains in the first place, it's lucky Perseus is on his way to save her...

Andromeda is a plastic piece from Mythic Battle that I painted in 2018.
