Demigod March A Greek Phalanx Out For Conquest Of The Gods
November 17, 2014 by brennon
Demigod Games have another preview for you this week to get you excited for Conquest of the Gods. This time around the faction under the spotlight are the Ancient Greeks led by the mighty Ares. See what you think...
The main set comes with a Phalanx of Greek soldiers so you have 10 Hoplites, 1 mighty Minotaur, 1 Lochagos and finally the God of War himself in Ares made once again with a set composed of a mix of metal and resin parts. Here he is in a bit more detail...
Ares comes with that rather impressive splatter of blood coming off his spear. It's awesome to have something like this added on but you don't have to model Ares with said blood. You could just have him in a commanding stance atop the pillars rather than swiping apart some poor fellow with ease.
Going back to the Phalanx for a moment you'll see that they all rank up as you would imagine they did in real life with some being held high and others out in front ready to impale the enemy. As you can see this is a larger unit here so when it comes to bigger games you'll have quite the intimidating force it seems.
Will you be edging towards taking Greeks in Conquest of the Gods?

The only trouble is that they are pikemen rather than hoplites
Hoplites carried a 12ft spear in their right hand(wielded overarm) with their Hoplon on their left arm.
Pikemen carried smaller shields because the hoplon was too large to be used with their pike in both hands.
Good to see a pedant from my own heart. 😀

This looks rather good. The only thing and it is a personal taste is the Minotaur has two fingered hands. Wish it had normal hands.
