Oathmark Odyssey - Living Statue 2

 This is the second Living Statue, using a Crooked Dice Titan from their Argonaut range. It is also using the Melee Weapons.

The scars on the shield need painting.

The two Living Statues.

Oathmark Odyssey - Living Statue

The town was about a dozen small houses clustered around a square with a shiny bronze statue on a plinth in the middle.

We had been spotted, as we could see figures rushing around. The women and children were being directed to the most impressive building while the menfolk were collecting weapons and shields.

The men began forming ranks, but we could see we outnumbered them at least five times.

Behind the ranks, I could just make out some priest or similar making offers to the statue. As I turned to the soldier next to me to say this should be easy, there was a sound like a god's sword sliding over another god's shield and his eyes turned wide.

Looking back, the statue began to step down from the plinth, its sword and shield at the ready.

I wanted some more fantastical elements for the Oathmark Odyssey armies, and the inspiration of Ray Harryhausen is hard to avoid.

Crooked Dice have two different Titans for their Argonauts range with optional Melee Weapons.

This is the first one completed. He is moving forward, his shield before him and the iron blade of his sword ready to strike.

The figure was undercoated with Citadel Chaos Black spray. It was then painted with Vallejo Brass. The "skirt" was painted with Army Painter Chaos red. 

The shield centre was first painted with Army Painter Stone Golem, followed by Humbrol 34 Acrylic matt White. The scars on the shield were painted Vallejo Brass then Vallejo Gold. 

The body was then extensively dry brushed with Vallejo Gold followed by a lighter dry brush of a mix of Citadel Mithril Silver and vallejo Gold.

It still has to receive a design on the shield (probably an Owl from the Ancient Greeks sets).

Shiny, part two

Crooked Dice released their Mk 2 Argonauts recently.

Games Workshop Chaos Black spray undercoat, BoltGun Metal on the silver bits, Asurmen Blue wash, Mithril Silver dry brush (yes, I still have an workable pot of Mithril silver after all these years). Also, all those paints are GW.

Scanner has an undercoat of Ceramite White over painted Vallejo Red. The 'coils' on the gun were repainted with Ceramite White and inked, nt quite sure if I am happy with that effect.

Someone has to be in "COMMAND", so here is the Hasslefree Gina.

"She is like a machine!" *

Gina has been spotted with groups of Mk2 Argonauts.

Her relationship with Dr Argo is unknown.

The figure is Gina from Hasslefree.

Shiny

Crooked Dice have recently released their Mk 2 Argonauts (they also have the larger Mk 3 Argonaut seen previously).

There are eight different figures, two of which rely on their brute strength to enforce the will of Dr Argo.

Here is one of them.

Argonauts, Old and New

Dr Argo is pulling out all the stops, deploying different variants of his Argonauts, however old they might be.

Crooked Dice Robo Minions painted up as Mk I Argonauts back up a Mk III.

Jason vs The Argonaut

Private Jason Fleming wished he had not volunteered to test Darius' prototype glue projector...

Ullyses Argo's latest Argonaut advances.

The Argonauts are a signature feature of the evil mastermind Ullyses Argo's appearances in 7TV series such as The Man From 2000 and Department X.

The Argonaut is a Crooked Dice resin figure and is about 45mm tall. It is supplied in four pieces (body, two arms and a head). Crooked Dice make two different bodies and arms allowing a number of combinations to be assembled.

I should have some more completed shortly, together with the towering Talos, Argo's most fearsome creation.
