Thought by the ancient Greeks to reside in the wild mountains of Thessaly, the Centaur myth may trace its origins way back to man’s first domestication of the horse, while Satyrs are even more obscure in their antecedents. Both have undergone a variety of ‘shape-shifts’ and character changes over the centuries, and continue to feature prominently in many fantasy genres such as the Chronicles of Narnia.
Our Eureka Centaurs and Satyrs are depicted in classical Greco-Roman style and pose, armed with simple spears, bows and clubs as befitting the period. We think they’ll make for interesting and unpredictable units in any wargamer’s fantasy host: Centaurs are supposed to be wild, violent and barbaric, while Satyrs were apparently prone to dramatic mood swings ranging from aggressive posturing – to sly subversion – to even shy and cowardly. (Probably all that wine ‘talking’!) We’ve supplied a figure of the God Pan to hopefully keep them all in line (but he’ll probably just join in).
The new Amazon cavalry and Amazon command figures are designed to supplement our existing range of 28mm Amazons. They include regular cavalry and some particularly intimidating – fully armoured – Cataphract horse women to give your fantasy feminist force some shock troops. Commanders, standard bearers, and musicians make up the Amazon command figures.
Here are the catalogue details for the new miniatures –
