Agamemnon and his Honor Guard


I am not a war gamer, but while searching for images of Agamemnon I came across the concept art for Crocodile Games' Agamemnon and his Mycenaean Honor Guard.  As my father used to paint die-cast military miniatures, I am assuming Crocodile Games is making these figures available to paint and use for a Mycenaean-themed war game.

No Dendra panoply here.  It's interesting to note which features derive from actual Mycenaean armaments, such as the helmet and fringes, and which features have been modernized.  I doubt very much that Agamemnon would have worn such a cuirass, but he certainly looks badass in it.
