The Zoidyssey - Adventures with Warriors of Athena
Argonauts Part 3
3/4 of the way through the Argonauts now.
This group includes one of the sons of Boreas, the North Wind. This one I’ve decided is Zetes. The classical description of them is that (like many Greek gods and heroes who could fly) their wings are on their heels. Let’s not let that stand in the way of a good sculpt though. Also potentially controversially I’ve included Atalanta. In many versions she isn’t included in the group but I think that plays too much to classical misogyny and have included her, the only woman on the crew.
I started on some scenery and ordered some cake pillars which seems to be the common approach that many players have judging by the Facepage group. I got a box of four on eBay for around a fiver including postage, cheaper than Amazon.
A lot of players have gone for ruined temples or pillars and that’s fine but I think a new looking set are fine too.
After the usual zenithed primer I went over everything with some thinned Pallid Bone Speedpaint and then drybrushed on some Bonewhite acrylic. Finished and ready for the heroes to explore.
