Dear all,

Our gaming group has started to play "Of Gods and Mortals" ( more info : link ).

We have found suitable God miniatures except for a "Roman" player. Do you know any "God" miniatures in +/- 40mm or 54mm (Diana, Mithra,…) ?

Thanks for your help.

Just look for figures labeled as Greek Gods. They are exactly the same except for names.

Zeus = Jupiter
Ares = Mars

etc.

umm, pick up a larger scale figure in appropriate armour and milliput a beard, hair and cloak onto it, and replace spear with lightning bolt?

In addition to the Greek God figures from North Star, you could also use figures from Wargods of Olympus from Crocodile Games. They have Demigods of various Ares, Zeus, Hades, Artemis and Apollo. When I saw them at Historicon, the figures were larger than a 28mm Heroic figures; but, I'm not sure how much; but recall around 40mm.

54mm figs are my go-to in situations like this.

Tin Soldiers do a couple of versions of the goddess Minerva in 54mm link

I know it's a bit late to reply to this but Alternative Armies do a range of 50 mm figures for their greek myth game Typhon. This greek goplite would be great for Ares

Chiltern does some really cool Greek gods in 40mm

The Otherworld Storm Giant might be quite nice as well:

Though a little pricey, at 97mm tall he'd be impressive!

Irregular Miniatures do all sorts of sizes and the prices are good although the sculpting is a bit hit or miss (sorry guys!!)
