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
I have heard of the series, but never seen it. The mini looks pretty cool, will you be painting the rest of the cast?
ReplyDeleteI have his entire range so far released (7 minis for now), so yep, they will be done this year :-)
DeleteNicely done anime.
ReplyDeleteI'm unfamiliar with this- but well done, anyway!
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done. Given the huge popularity of Anime I am suprised we don't see more miniatures for the genre.
ReplyDeleteWell done on this figure. The only Ptolemys that I know of are mathematicians or Pharaohs.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking anime figure, and Macedonian generals of course Peter!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
First of the Pharaohs I counted him at his promoted rank.
DeleteNicely done, great version of the original 👏
