LOCHAGOS ("commander")

I caved and pre ordered the campaign evolved premium bundle because all the armour skins drive me crazy. SPARTA!

The armour embellishments are so difficult to draw but I want to draw him MORE

P. S. the gestalt ("greater than the sum of its parts") skin is kind of adorable, I think I'm gonna draw it next 🥹

Whennnnn you hear the warcry

And the javelins fly

That’s a lochos

OK! Despite the previous, eloquent explanation above, you may still have a question: what’s a lochos? Well: a lochos is a Greek term (surprise) which is generally translated to mean ‘company’ (as in a group of soldiers) but literally means ‘ambush’. A lochos, therefore, was a company of warriors sent in to hostile or at least contested territory to raid farms, take prisoners - generally do dirty deeds. A kind of ‘kill-team,’ if you will. In the upcoming skirmish game Mortal Gods, set during the long but generally low-intensity conflicts of the Peloponnesian Wars, a lochos is the term used to describe your little force of bad-enough dudes. And that’s what you see above.

Rhescuporis, the Wolf of Chalcedon

With apologies to the Australian rugby team! Thracian hero from Foundry based as a lochagos for Mortal Gods.
