Heroic Tox Troopers - some colour schemes

A short collection of some alternative colour schemes I experimented with... I think I like them all!

Heroic Tox troopers - comparison shots and the parts

Tox Troopers - Heroic Scale paint jobs

Here's the test paint job, I'm prepping another set (7 minis in total) to try out alternative colours.

Atheros Hoplites

I've been sitting on these for a while, all the time eager to show them off. These photos are rush jobs... so I'll do better ones in a few weeks.

Mid September I'll be activating a new webstore (with a new name and brand) and these will be on sale. Very exciting I'm sure you'll agree!

Now that these are ready and being showcased here I'm eagerly finishing up the next 2-3 months worth of releases. Not that I don't think these are cool miniatures, they are just the baseline humans... the next batch is Archers, heroes, commanders, then fauns, centaurs, minotaurs, minotaurs, harpies, spartans... I'll stop there.

Lots of separate heads, arms, shields and things for converting you plastic miniatures too (i like Victrix ancient stuff).

Hoplite production casts

Very happy with these. Actual casts from an actual production mold.

These are 2 part miniatures, only the right weapon arm needs glued in place. Well technically 3 parts, the shields will follow. The spears are solid, any bend will be minimum and easily fixed (lots of trial an error to achieve this)

Test colour schemes below, LOTS more work now kicking off to make these available for sale over the summer.

Even more metal hoplites...

I'm taking my time with this project to get it right... dynamic hoplites in metal. Further complicated by trying to do it with as little parts as possible.

Getting there.

My shields were just slightly too thin for a robust and reliable production so I need to re-work them, luckily Victrix now do plastic loose hoplite shields so that's a good modelling crutch.
