Zina of Dacia


A famed wise woman from Dacia, Zina is sought by people from across the world who desire her counsel - some sources say she has the gift of prognostication, others that she can heal wounds and diseases that have baffled even the most skilled physicians.

Now in the twilight of her life, she has taken to the road - travelling from place to place, earning coin for her services as she goes.  She seems to know all about the secret war being waged - but none seem to know where, or with what, her loyalties lie.

I got this as part of a Kickstarter by Tomb Guardians - she's now available as part of their Amazon Heroes range, where she is called a 'Female Amazon Shaman'.

Callianessa


Callianessa seems to be strength itself given human form - her exploits are legendary, earning her the nickname of 'the Herakles of the new age'.  

She seeks to test her strength and courage wherever she roams - and working with the various warbands seeking ancient artefacts provides her with many such opportunities.  So far, she has yet to be found wanting - with her heavy mace she has destroyed monsters and seen off demigods in single combat. She is said to have even toppled a towering stone column on an enemy camp with a single swing of her mighty weapon.

Ages ago now I backed a Kickstarter by Tomb Guardians for a range of Amazons - this was one of the couple of miniatures I pledged for specifically for use in Broken Legions. (Oh and, yes, the colour scheme I picked is on the nose but I couldn't resist!)

Tomb Guardians - Amazons



I backed the Tomb Guardians Kickstarter for their range of Amazons a while ago - it got hit with COVID-19 which delayed it a little (which is, of course, totally understandable!), but my little pledge arrived here in the UK and I've prepped them ready for the base dip and prime stages!

I picked up two miniatures from the Amazons range - both with the intention of adding to the hireling pool for Broken Legions (yes, I know I have a problem when it comes to mercenaries and hirelings!).

First up, I got the Amazon Shaman - which I intend to use as a Wise Woman hireling.  I plan to call her Zina of Dacia.  I particularly like her staff:


She's got a nice amount of detail without being too busy - the skull headdress, the fetish pouch in her left hand and a patch on the back of her cloak all add a nice touch of character without overwhelming the mini.  This was a single-piece cast so just required a little clean up (mostly on the underside of the base).

Secondly, I couldn't resist the Amazon Warrior with Mace.  Not too many miniatures are thicc without being sexualised but this one achieves it - she's clearly a strong, powerful warrior!  The mace adds a bit of variety to my Broken Legions collection too which is good.

I am calling her Callianessa and like some of the other hirelings I'll use the Demigod rules to make some stats fitting of this mighty hero:


This mini is two-piece - the main body and the mace (with forearms) - but nothing taxing to put together.  Like the Shaman, the cast was nice and clean with minimal tidy up required.

This was my first time dealing with Tomb Guardians and I'm very impressed with them - I'll happily check out their ranges to see if there's other bits and pieces I can find a use for!
