Amazons Set

2 stars, so I'll start with the cons:

I was running a campaign of Amazons and was hoping the players would be able to use these at their heroes. Nope.

Almost all of them are wearing g-strings. Prophetess, Enchantress, Temple Guard, Bladedancer, Warlord, Archer, Guard.

A few have expressions that are either surprise or terror.

I think all are blonde except the archer.

The skin color is dark but it just doesn't look realistic or illustration quality. To be fair, it's shown on the cover photo in the preview, but I felt it looked worse somehow on the rest of the figures, even though maybe it's the same.

As with all Arion paper minis, minis from the PDF will be about 28mm tall. If your players bring plastic minis they will be about 34-38mm tall, so these will appear comically small. You cannot zoom the PDF when printing because that will result in the minis at the edge of the page being cropped, and the art looking jaggy. However, this set includes the same minis in a PowerPoint file, and you can select and copy and paste and scale minis from there, basically one at a time. It's workable.

PROS If you're running Amazons as bikini-mail crop-top NPCs, these will do the trick, including a few without weapons or armor at all.

There are four Amazons riding dinosaurs or something, one with a look of terror and one with a confident look that indicates your players are in for trouble.

These come formatted as flats or tri-folds, so you can use the form you'd like.

Arion has a huge catalog so even if an individual set isn't terrific, the catalog still gives you a consistent art style across the collection.

I am sorry you were unhappy with the purchase. What I will do is create an Amazons II set. Let me know which figures you would like to see in the set, and I will design it to your spec.

Art is good. All the possible roles in a party are accounted for. Not crazy about the mounts (big lizards) but I am going to see if they grow on me.

I am biased when it comes to my Amazons. I would love to see greek hoplite style Amazons with their helmets pushed back on their heads , their weapons , and very little else in the way of clothing or armor. Foot and mounted versions (on horses!) of course!
