Epic 40k Lost and The Damned:
As previously mentioned in 'An Epic Endeavour - Part 2', I wanted to assemble a second army for Epic 40k. I've made a start on my Lost and The Damned (Chaos Cultist Coven) army by purchasing a whole bunch of Beastmen, Big Mutants and Bloodletters.
As you can see I'm only about two thirds done assembling them. These sculpts are all excellent; I'm very much looking forward to getting some paint on them!
15mm scale Greek Mythology:
15mm (1/100) scale is probably my favourite miniature scale; just big enough to have a good amount of detail whilst being small enough to enable manageable large scale battles. Previously I've only played World War 2 in 15mm, using the Flames of War and Bolt Action rules systems, but I've been meaning to find an excuse to explore another time period / genre in the scale. Now I've found that excuse: Greek Mythology!

Savage Worlds is an role playing system that I tried out briefly last year (using a Weird Old West setting) that I've wanted to revisit again; I enjoyed the mechanics and flexibility of the rules set. Designed for playing with miniatures, Savage Worlds could easily handle a low magic fantasy setting. The Core rulebook and Fantasy companion book gives me pretty much everything I'll need.
I put in a small order with 15mm.co.uk to get a small batch of test miniatures to see how big they actually are and to get a feel for the quality of the sculpts. I can safely say I'll be getting a lot more miniatures and terrain in this scale.

My goal is to mould a setting in the vein of the Ray Harryhausen animated films 'Jason and the Argonauts' and 'Clash of the Titans', as well as take inspiration from video games like Titan Quest and God of War. Perhaps I'll even make myself watch the 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans.
It can't be that bad.
