A friend has just started running the Hellas RPG, which is essentially Greek myths in space. Does anyone know of an 28mm SF figures with ancient Greek styling? Thanks. |

There was someone making Space Marines with a Greek theme but I don't remember if it was a company or just someone converting GW ones. Infinity has a bunch of Greek names for stuff in their Aleph forces but they don't really resemble anything Greek. |

Thanks people, I knew I could rely on people here. All your help is appreciated. I'm currently torn between a Maxmini conversion or doing something with one of the Studio miniatures. Of course, if anyone knows of any other contenders, please let me know. Thanks again. |

You could always use Victrix or Warlord Hoplites with modern weaponry. Those plastic kits can be mixed with any other hard plastic kits fairly easily. |

JoeK Miniatures has been working on really hightech looking greek stuff for a bit now. I guess he's clearing up after a kickstarter for Argonaut stuff. joekminis.com It's also worth looking at Crocodile Games for their Wargods of Olympus stuff for Pulpy Greeks of various city states, also working on getting their kickstarter finished up. link |

What Bashytubits said. If *I* were doing the project, I would get some plastic WWII or Moderns and give them Greek helmets and laser rifles bought as bits from Ebay. |
Gangrel | 06 Jun 2016 1:08 p.m. PST |
It's a valid point. I'd just like to have some SF-y elements to the helmet and/or armour if anyone does anything of that nature. It's only going to be a one off for my character so I have no problems putting the work in. |
