News & Updates
The new range of miniatures for Athens is available now, in the CROC STORE!
The warriors of Athens are citizen soldiers: laborers, tradesmen, and nobles, all equals under Athenian law. Long ago, the Athenians overthrew the tyrants that ruled their city and swore never to submit to another; now they rule themselves by common consensus, something they call democracy. Athens maintains a powerful navy, sailing to distant colonies and remote islands, often coming into conflict with the Spartans, who resent the spread of liberty that their emissaries bring.
The Athens miniatures were sculpted by Chris FitzPatrick, based on concept art by Des Hanley. Athens color painting by Paul Jeacock. The display models were painted and photographed by Felicity FitzPatrick.
The new Athens range contains the following packs:
WGO-905 Athenian Warband Starter Set - $74.95
WGO-127 Athenian Captain, with Casualty - $8.95
WGO-128 Athenian Hero, with Armor Rack - $8.95
WGO-319a Athenian Hoplite Unit - Companions of Theseus (12) - $39.95
WGO-319b Athenian Hoplite Unit - Chosen of Nike (12) - $39.95
WGO-319c Athenian Hoplite Unit - Poseidon's Faithful (12) - $39.95
WGO-320 Athenian Peltast Unit (10) - $35.95

The Athenian Army is on the move - their triremes have set sail from the port of Piraeus and are due to make landfall on August 1, Poseidon willing!
The Croc crew are at the oars, busy casting hundreds of warriors, peltasts, and archers, to join your forces. We've set up a pre-order deal for players who want us to ship a complete warband on the first day, available HERE. This will include an alternate variant of the Athenian Hero with a double-crested helmet (also available for a limited time for Athens players who already have their warbands!) Stay tuned for pictures, coming soon!
Rumor has it that Fitz is sculpting even MORE Athenians, including a chariot and philosopher. Now is a great time to join the forces of democracy!
The Typhon Archer miniature is back in the Croc store!
Back when we started WarGods, Fitz sculpted a few test models of each of the Aegyptus races for playtesting and promoting the game. Once the game was in production, most of these models were expanded with additional poses and command - but a few slipped through the cracks. Several customers have been asking for us to bring back the Typhon archer model, but the mold was lost for many years... but good news! It has at last been found!
We're now made the model available again, both individually and in groups of 10 at the discounted unit price.
For our players who have been waiting for the return of the Minotaurs and Amazon Archer Units - Good news... they are back in stock!
We had to retire these minis late last year, as the molds had worn out. We've now had them remolded, so the minis look better than ever!
You can get yours in the Croc Store:
Minotaurs: OLYMPUS MONSTERS
Amazons: AMAZONS
Our master Artifex gotten a new shipment of metal, and he's been casting up a few of our popular "Icons & Artifacts" miniatures that have been out-of-stock for a while. This range is an assortment of small treasures, objectives, and bits to customize your miniatures and their bases!

Since the Adepticon Special packs were so well-received, we've decided to keep some of the deals in the Croc Store as regular items (the Casualty Pack, Armory of Hephaestus, Warrior Sampler, and Automaton Deal. The prices are slightly more than in the Adepticon sale, but still discounted from their prices as separate items.
We hope everyone is keeping safe and healthy, and getting lots of hobby stuff done!
Inspired by the striking black leather and polished bronze armor of the wealthy Corinthian hoplites, this is the WarGods of Olympus Collector’s Edition. The cover is made of black Skivertex (a lustrous faux leather), and printed with metallic bronze-foil lettering and design. The WarGods logo and central image of the sword & laurel wreath are embossed (raised), and there is a decorative pressed border around the edge of the front cover. It was designed by Chris FitzPatrick and Des Hanley. The contents of the book are exactly the same as the regular hardcover edition.
We can ship these to US customers for around $6 using Media Mail, so long as there are no miniatures in the order. (Only books are allowed by the USPS to get the Media Mail lower rate.)
These were produced for our Kickstarter Backers, but we have some leftover. There are a limited number, and we are making them available to our online customers whiles supplies last. You can get yours in the Croc Store, by clicking the link below:
