Greetings from Athens! (Well, the WarGods version of it...)
We're back with another update on the sculpting progress of the next faction - the Athenians! Chris has just wrapped up the sculpts for the leaders of the Athenian army, and we've got pictures!
First up is Theseus, the king of Athens. He's nearly complete except for a couple small details and his shield (the metal shield shown is just a stand-in for the moment, his final shield will look like the concept art.)

Here's is the original concept art for Theseus, to show what his final shield will look like:

Next up is the Athenian Hero, armed with a spear and sword. Chris sculpted him with a recurring wave decorative motif, as Athens is a major sea power. His shield is also just a stand-in, the final shield will be a unique sculpt. Also shown in the photo is the Athenian Armor Rack (which comes with the Hero.)

And speaking of Armor Racks, now that the Athenian Armor Rack is complete, we thought we'd show off what all of the armor looks like when lined up... pretty cool! We've still got one more to go (for Corinth), and in the end there will be 6 suits of armor, one for each city-state. These are going to make a great 'armory' scenic piece!

There are just a few models to go for the Athenian release (Herald and Musician, and the Peltast & Archer captains). If all goes well we hope to be able to start shipping these in July to Athenian backers.
We hope you all like them! :)

Athens has now been unlocked! We'd like to send out a giant "THANK YOU" to every one of our backers - you guys made this possible! Athens is the birthplace of democracy, and the greatest center of wisdom and learning in all of Olympus. Her citizen-soldiers are brave and resourceful defenders of the city, and her mighty navy rules the seas. The city's founding king was the legendary Theseus, a son of the sea-god Poseidon, and the slayer of the Minotaur!
What does it mean now that the Athenians are unlocked? We already have rules and art for the Athenians, now we can proceed with the sculpting of the miniatures. By this time next year, we'll have a completed Athenians Warband Starter Set, Hoplite Unit, Peltast Unit, Archer Unit, Swordsman Unit, Hero with Armor Rack and Captain with Casualty. You may now select these as an option for your rewards on Kickstarter, but they will be shipped with the book in July 2014.
We have uploaded the new Athens Backer Avatar to the Croc forum -- https://www.crocodilegames.com/forum/msgView.cfm?boardID=40&postID=5562
As well as the Athenian desktop images! -- https://www.crocodilegames.com/game_Downloads.cfm?gameID=3
Thanks again for your help getting us this far, and for helping to spread the word. As we go on from here, many of the stretch goals will be additions and improvements to the current rewards, as well as unlocking characters, monsters, and special units -- in other words, the cool stuff! The next stretch goal is Reinforcements! When this goal is achieved, all Peltast units obtained through the Kickstarter will come with 12 models instead of 10!

At last, you come to the city of Athens, with olive groves and temples of white marble. As you pass through the streets of the city, you encounter wise philosophers and eccentric scholars debating the nature of the elements in the streets. Theseus, the King of Athens promises to aid your quest, and your troops board the ships of his mighty navy and sail north to Troy!
