Twelve months, 20,- Euro Part 9

Slowly the warm time of the year, and with it the hobby summer hole, is coming to an end. In fact, with falling temperatures, I have begun to pick up speed again. The children sleep much better when it's not that hot, and occasionally I get an evening out of it too. So I have, despite a long dragged along flu, finally painted something up again:

A while ago I had already started a regiment of hoplites for Mortal Gods. However, I was not satisfied with the first incarnation of this gentleman here, as the mercenary look was somehow not quite captured.

Narratively, Patrobos comes from Patrai, a town on the upper coastal strip of Achaia, from which his name is derived. As a town close to the beach, I thought he must have been a sailor once, which is why a trireme suggested itself as a shield emblem.

In fact, I would also love to have something Mediterranean as a playing field that captures the feeling of being close to the sea. The multi-story houses of the middle east of Renedra form a good basis for this, since mud houses were widespread in ancient times.

I'm still undecided how much effort I'll put in. One thing is clear, as soon as they are primed, I will glue the doors and the hatches firmly. The roof has also been glued down, although Renedra doesn't recommend it for playability purposes.

For a game like Mortal Gods, however, this doesn't make sense to me. Not only would you very rarely move into a building with, say, a single archer, but during a battle the homeowners would probably have their houses locked up tight.

Next month I may be able to step on the gas a little more, since I have a little vacation. My goal would be to complete the skin of as many models in the army as possible, so that I can gradually get game minis ready faster. But whether that will work out, we'll see at the end of October.

Expenses - since September also passed me by rather cautiously, I again didn't spend any money and now have 69.17 euros available for October. But since the Mortal Gods project is going well, I actually don't know what I should spend the money on...
