MattW: 28mm Historical Drama - Wodens sacrifice (65 points)

 Historical Drama 



After the defeat of Publix’s Quinctilius Varus and his legions, his heart is cut from his body and sacrificed to the God Woden in the forests of Germania, his head along with various centurions are place upon stakes, and his horse is beheaded so it cannot carry him across the river into the afterlife….. and so it begins…..








The miniatures are from the Foundry range, the Woden idol is scratch built from wire and Green stuff.

Tally 
28mm miniatures 6 miniatures, plus heads and horse head, 1 x idol 5 x 8 miniatures 40 points 
Location Historical Drama.                                                                                            20 points
Total 60 points 
Cheers 
MattW

Ooh, terrific entry Matt! Such great character and the composition is spot on (love the wooden idol and groundwork as well). This makes me want to watch the second season of Barbarians on Netflix.

Extra points for the wonderfully creepy idol! 

Well done!
