I don't believe the breast-removal story. Everyone mentions it, because it's lurid, but I haven't heard anyone cite an ancient source for this detail. I have heard mention of the idea being described in classical times (hundreds of years after the Amazons were supposed to have existed) by one writer and his speculation being rejected by other writers.

None of the classical images of Amazons show this feature. They're all either wearing armor or have intact breasts.

Modern Olympic archers seem to deal with the problem without surgery.

Amazons by Crocodile Games, display models painted by D Felicity FitzPatrick, scenic element by Model Earth, painted by Simon Harris

At last, our new range of Amazons is available now in the Croc store!

When we set out to design our new range of Amazons for WarGods, we wanted to make sure they were special. They needed to look beautiful, with a hint of wildness and danger about them. We wanted to make sure that they were equipped to take on any man in a fair fight… our Amazons wear bronze and leather armor over the parts of the body you need to protect – you'll find no high-heels or chainmail bikinis here! We also wanted them to grounded in reality, and so ours take inspirations from ancient Greek hoplites, scythian tribesmen, Hollywood, and all blended together to with a subtle exaggeration to give them that WarGods look. We think these women warriors are ready to take on any opponents! The miniatures are based on concept art by Des Hanley, sculpted by Chris FitzPatrick, and painted by D Felicity FitzPatrick.

The new Amazon range contains the following packs:

WGO-904 – Amazon Warband Starter Set – $74.95 USD
WGO-118 – Amazon Captain, with Casualty – $8.95 USD
WGO-119 – Amazon Hero, with Armor Rack – $8.95 USD
WGO-313a – Amazon Warrior Unit – Spear Sisters (12) – $39.95 USD
WGO-313b – Amazon Warrior Unit – Horse Widows (12) – $39.95 USD
WGO-313c – Amazon Warrior Unit – Red Hands (12) – $39.95 USD
WGO-315 – Amazon Archer Unit (10) – $35.95 USD
WGO-314 – Amazon Peltast Unit (10) – $35.95 USD
