Mortal Gods

Footsore recently released this rather fun game, based around 28mm skirmish fighting in ancient Greece. Tried it at Campaign, then got a set for my birthday from Manny and Rob at Boards and Swords.

Turns out Ray also has Mortal Gods! He asked me to paint his stuff, who was I to deny him?

Now Ray's Athenians are done too. Light hoplites


Heay hoplites, the sun was casting some rather amazing shadows.


Adronikos, the Defender of Athens
