Cultist

 Every hero needs a good villain to fight against.  Meet Conan's nemesis, Nakhtem, a dark sorcerer from ancient Acheron, a disciple of the slumbering Set, and an antagonist to all things good.  

Nakhtem and the two assassins are metal Reaper Miniatures.  The non-hooded followers are Wargames Atalantic Persians.  The hooded followers are old Wargames Factory Persian bodies with Frostgrave cultists arms.  I have some sorceress and some snake men/women basecoated and waiting to be summoned.  

Here is Nakhtem with his two most trusted assassins

Next up are some generic bandits, Turanian caravan guards, and a small group of Afghulis.  

Ancient walls

I made these to fit in with my building Hyborian Age figures.  I wanted to have an ancient city for my figures to fight over.  I wanted something cyclopean in nature, like it was build long before the time of Conan.  I was trying for something similar to the ruins in Mycenae.  These are two test pieces, a wall and a column.  It wasn't until I finished painting the wall that I realized I forgot to make one side ruined!  Oh well, they are after all test pieces...

They are made with a core of styrofoam with polystyrene bricks glued on the outside.  I saw this done on Leadadventure forum but I can not seem to find the original poster to give credit.  I plan on making more ruins to fill up my ancient city.  

 

Sellswords and Freebooters

 Meet the Crimson Hawks. A roving band of sellswords, if the pay is good, or bandits, if not.  Just one of the freebooter bands that Conan has spent some time with during his travels.

I tried to build a multi-national band of warriors.  They are again mostly Victrix Italian Allied Legions bodies with some Guals, Samnites, Greeks, and Iberian bodies. There is also some metal Reaper Miniatures thrown in for good measure. Conan is from the Northstar Ghost Archipelago range.

Thorbjorn the Asgardian, Shullat a Shemite, and Philoxenos, a fugitive Argosian sailor 

Velthur and Aris, Kothian brothers. Aris is the current comander of the Crimson Hawks. Farhad, a Turan deserter 

Androcles and Lykomedes, Corinthian adventurers and Arnth, an Ophirian

Proclus, a Nemedian, Vulca from Khoraja, a Zingaran named Cotius

Belin a disgraced Aquilonian knight and Rychard, a Bossonian archer

And last but not least, a young Conan

Lookout! Here comes the Magistrates Guard!

 I finished these guys about a month ago for my Conan project.  I plan on using them as sometimes allies but more often than not enemies of Conan.  They are mostly Victrix Republican Romans. Some have Celtic or Greek heads.  

Temple Guards

 Continuing on with my Conan project, I painted up some Temple Guards.  My image of the Hyborian Age has bronze clad troops, some steel weapons, and a mix-match of cultures.  I'm basing my adventures loosely around the Western boarder of Turan.  I decided to use Victrix's Republican Romans as a base for temple guards, palace guards, soldiers, mercenaries, and bandits.  

These temple guards use parts from the Republican Roman, Italian Allies, Samnites, and Numidian heads.  

I also painted up two companions for Conan.  A native and a bronze armored warrior.  Both are from NorthStar's Ghost Archipelago.  

Enjoy,

Justin

Well, it has been a while...

Wow, time defiantly went by quick!  While I haven't been posting on here it doesn't mean that my paint brushes have been idle.  I've been painting in little spurts in my free time.  These are all from Black Tree Design for their website. 

Ancient Germans

After seeing some excellently painted figures over on LAF, I decided to pull some figures out of the lead mountain and throw some paint around.  The figures are from Black Tree Miniatures with 2 Foundry Ancient Germans thrown in that I've had forever.  They were to be my warlord and his retune for my ancient German army that never got off the ground.  I decided to use them as barbarians for my Greek adventurers to fight.  They are not as glossy as they appear, might have to hit them with another coat of matt.  Hope you like them, C/C always welcome.
