From TomM: Seiya (5pts) - my final entry

One can not look into gaming Saint Seiya, without having of course the figure of the titular character, Seiya, painted up.

Throughout the whole franchise, the Pegasus saint has been the chosen champion of the godess Athena, and in the main timeline this of course is Seiya himself.

A hot blooded boy at first, he grows into a responsible (yet still hot to anger if Saori is threatened) hero, often going above his weight to save her and his friends.

The model is from Nonsense Miniatures, printed in resin, and now that I have two models finished already, I guess I can take a look at their ruleset Constellation Warriors and give the game a go in solo play.  I might not have a grid mat to play on, but that will be solved by using dungeon tiles.

As a single 35mm figure, this adds another modest 5 points to the tally, and a great figure to round off my personal Challenge for this edition...

 

From TomM: Ptolemy, silver saint of Sagitta (5 pts)

  For those who follow my blog, it will be no suprise that I like anime perhaps even more since wargaming.

And that all started back in 1986 with Les Chevaliers du Zodiaque on the french channel TF1, a series known even better perhaps under it's japanese name Saint Seiya.

It's also on Netflix btw now, just ignore that crap 3D monstorsity Netflix made, that is just horrible and in no way representative of both the story and the mythos of this mythology inspired series.

Now recently, a spanish company named Nonsense Miniatures started to make resin 3d printed "Constellation Warriors" models, well, the Saints actually, and one of their first 4 figures is this one, Ptolemy, Silver Saint of Sagitta, scaled at about 36mm.  They also have a free to download beta ruleset for them on their website.

 

 

So I painted up him as the first one, don`t ask me why because even if his appearance in the anime was rather short, he was the one that mortally wounded Athena, instigating the race across the twelve Houses of the Zodiac up to the Grand Pope's palace.

 

And just for reference, here is his anime version...  

So that makes a single figure and good for 5 points in this entry
