Le Cuistot Sebeki avec ses Nigers qui distribue la bonne sousoupe qui donne des forces aux troupes !! J'adore ! La figurie semble être l'une des premières de Des Anley.
So here's the warrior for the Crocodiliopolis City- Dweller melee option... a strapping young fellow who turned out looking a bit like Richard Corbin's "Den". He has scar tattoos on his arms and back like the Flinger loaders, of course. I'm thinking that spear and shield will be a good compliment to the existing Sebeki melee option (double handed weapons). I may give him a bit more armor (so he could pass for either light or medium), and he'll have a shield with either a turtle shell or with a Sobek hieroglyph.
The Crocodilopolis City-Dwellers are tough dudes - they grow up living alongside the mighty Sebeki, I imagine them rough-housing with the crocs and being able to hold their own on the playground!
The idea here is to do a basic warrior that Sebeki players can build units of, with a single model. Theoretically, I could do additional poses/variations, but they may need to be a stretch goal - sculpting and producing a complete unit of with lots of poses/command requires about 6x the time, expense, and effort as one guy - so to do so we'd need to be certain that the extra effort would be supported by similarly increased demand.
Next up will be an archer pose, like this guy but a little leaner. Then I'll be getting started on the new character models, the female City-Dweller hero/Harbinger (not sure which yet) and the new Croc Mascot.
Plusieurs messages depuis fin février sont passés sur le FB
international de WarGods où Chris Fitzpatrick nous présente son projet
de petit KS sur les adeptes de Sobek. J'ai regroupé tout ça ici. J'aime
l'idée de ces lance-rocs Sebeki. Votre opinion ?
I
sculpted this Sebeki in more of a ‘loading’ pose, and the Asar
City-Dweller in a tired, “Whew, lifting these big rocks is hard” pose,
as he is taking a break and wiping his brow. His general mood is an
expression of my feelings toward getting the unit completed - sculpting
scales and scar tattoos is VERY time consuming! Whew!
Once again, all the heads and tails are interchangeable for a bit of variation on the poses.
For
the rest of the month I’ll be working on some more Sebeki-themed
sculpts to go along with these. You guys have provided some great
ideas, and I’m going to try to do the following:
New Croc Mascot, holding the mace of doom over his head triumphantly
-Sebeki Priest
-Asar City-Dweller Archer and Warrior (that Sobek players can build units of, albeit with limited poses)
-Asar City-Dweller hero or Harbinger of Sobek, female
-Sebeki casualty
-Possibly and actual crocodile
Some small “Icons & Artifacts” bits to occupy my ‘drying time’:
-Croc nest with a baby crocodile or Sebeki
-Crocodile skull
-Sebeki kid
-Turtle shield
There
are lots more ideas I’d love to do, but even the above will be a real
challenge to complete in a single month (I can sculpt about one and a
half miniatures in a week, depending on the complexity). A large
project like a chariot or new Beloved would be awesome, but just doing
one of those would likely bump everything else due to the size and large
number of parts. But we’ll see how these go - if the planned
Kickstarter is successful we could follow-up with more down the line. I
just don’t want to fall into the same pitfall as the last time around
and commit to a long list of projects - I think everyone would rather
have a more modest goal that we can move quickly on.
Hey
WarGods players, I’m currently back at the sculpting table, working on
some new minis for the Aegyptus range. The Aegyptus range has not
gotten any new models for quite some time, so I’m talking a short break
from Olympus to make a few fun pieces. Also, Sebeki are good practice
as they are very ‘over the top’, and I need to get my fingers back into
sculpting shape!
Currently
under construction are the Sebeki Flingers, a new unit that is
effectively “Croc catapults’ - Sebeki are strong enough to hurl boulders
at their enemies, with the assistance of a catapult-like fling pole.
They are assisted by the City-Dwellers of Crocodilopolis, a band of
tough Asar warriors who use scarification tattoos to make their skin
resemble crocodiles.
The
plan is to work on these for the remainder of February and March, and
then run a Kickstarter to fund their production. Also included will be
re-molding all of the current Sebeki models in production, as their
molds are nearing the end of their life. This is going to be a small
Kickstarter with a modest goal - 10-12 new models, something that we can
confidently complete within a few months. If successful, we can do a
series of follow-up Kickstarters funding the production of other new
models, each grouped together in a theme (Athenians, Anubi, Olympus
monsters, etc).
Yes, the Sebeki Flingers will get a writeup and some special rules, they’ll be published when we start the program.
Also
planned for the Sebeki Kickstarter are a couple warrior models for the
Crocodiopolis City-Dwellers, a new Croc Mascot, and possibly a Sebeki
Priest of Sobek (as the current model is an Asar). Do you have
something Sebeki-related that you’d like to see?
I’m
letting you guys know about this in advance to get your input on making
it as successful as possible. Once the project takes shape a little
more we’ll post it on the main Croc FB page and website. Constructive
thoughts are welcome, and please post any suggestions for additional
models in the ‘Croc’ theme below.
OK, since we got to 100 “Likes”, it is time to post another Flinger Team!
This
team includes a Sebeki in mid-fling, and a City-Dweller hauling some
more ammunition in a high-tech transport device (a wheelbarrow!) A few
fun facts about these 2 models, the Sebeki has the same head/tail/weapon
joints as the first model, so their heads/tails/weapon will be
interchangeable for lots of variation. Yes, I am making another
fling-pole variation as well, it is just taking a bit longer than the
rest. The City-Dweller model is wearing a head-dress based upon the
famous crocodile skin armor from Roman-era-Egypt, that is in the British
Museum. The City-Dwellers honor the crocodiles, and it is forbidden to
kill them, so I figure their armor is made from crocs that died of
natural causes. Or maybe it is shed skin?
The third Fling Team poses are now underway, I’ll post them when completed.
Thanks
to everyone for all the comments and suggestions so far, they are
definitely inspirational, and seeing that people enjoy these help to
motivate me to do more. I’ll start sculpting some of the other ideas
once the Flingers are all complete.
So
here's the warrior for the Crocodiliopolis City-Dweller melee option...
a strapping young fellow who turned out looking a bit like Richard
Corbin's "Den". He has scar tattoos on his arms and back like the
Flinger loaders, of course. I’m thinking that spear and shield will be a

Reviews #2, ça avance, l'introduction, la partie campagne , le fluff Antédiluvien !! Les mettre en dl permet aussi un retour des backers ce qui est pas plus mal pour avoir une livre bien corrigé !!
Greetings Olympus backers!
We hope that everyone had a great holiday, and that you have been enjoying the last Olympus preview! Good news -- we're back with another one! Olympus Preview #2
This preview includes the following complete chapters:
1. Introduction
7. Campaign Play
8. The Antediluvian World
A substantial part of this preview is the Campaign Chapter -- it is over 60 pages long! One of the things that many players have commented about WarGods of Aegyptus is that they liked the Campaign Chapter, so we doubled-down on this for Olympus, and created a campaign that will take players across the lands of Hellas, the islands of the Middle Sea, and into the dark Underworld! Backers who have participated in our past convention events will likely recognize a few faces in the 'in-game' photos, too!
You can download it by clicking the link below:
Olympus Preview #2 <backer uniquement>
Editing Help
As before, if you spot an error or contradiction, please post in the comments and let us know. Some of our backers have really helped with the last preview (over 50 comments on the thread!) The idea is to catch all the mistakes now, so they don't hide and give us a nasty surprise once the book is in print and we can't do anything about them. So thanks for all the comments so far, and please keep them coming. Chapter 2
So what's still to go? We has planned to include Chapter 2 (the game rules) in this update, but we are still working on many of the graphic elements and photos. These have proven to be an ongoing challenge (we're not professional photographers), but we are finally making progress. So, we're taking another week to get the last elements of Chapter 2 worked out, and we'll be posting it next Wednesday (January 23). We know that a large group of our Australian players need this before CanCon, so we'll have it uploaded with a couple days to spare. In the mean time, today's preview has a lot of pages to sink your teeth into, and we hope you will enjoy them!
Thanks!

Posted: Friday, Oct 13, 2017 at 9:05 AM — Edited on 2017-10-13 09:15:41.0 The second labor of Hercules is complete - the Hydra is defeated!
This was quite a departure for me, as I don't typically sculpt a lot of 'monsters'. It went smoothly at first, I sculpted the body (the grey parts) in Beesputty, a type of sculpting clay that is better for doing large, smooth objects, but then started to have a lot of trouble with the finished parts cracking, especially along the necks. So the last week was spent fixing my mistakes, and making a suitable base for it to sit on.
The base will have some additional details (like some more rocks, maybe a few bones from past victims), but I thought you guys would be eager to see it rather than waiting for the last fiddly bits.
With this one being finished, that is the last of all the funded Kickstarter minis. I may yet have a couple Amazon parts to correct for molding, but all the sculpts are now in the bag!
Huzzah!
