I had wondered whether I should include The Silmarillion in my list, given my love for it. I had also thought about whether I should include ufology and cryptozoology, as I uncritically read so many books on these subjects as an pre-teen; as an adult I still love them, but consider them to be a uniquely modern mythology/folklore. In the end, I stuck to classical mythology. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am probably most familiar with Greek mythology but every time Overly Sarcastic Productions covers a Greek myth, I learn that there’s even more that I’ve never encountered.

Which are you most familiar with (Greek/Norse/Mesopotamian/Arthurian/etc)? Yes! Very much so! Have looked into a lot of mythologies worldwide. Greco-Roman, Norse, Celtic, Judeo-Christian, Egyptian (was obsessed with this in 6th grade), Native American, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Philippines, Tibetan, Aztec, Yoruba . . . .should I keep going? I'm just big on mythology and folklore. Side Note - It's why Watership Down is one of my favorite books. Rabbit mythology won me instantly. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which are you most familiar with (Greek/Norse/Mesopotamian/Arthurian/etc)? I am a big fan of mythology. I really enjoy reading it. I'm most familiar with Greek and Norse, as those were primarily touched upon at the public schools I went. I try to read as much as I can about mythology from other parts of the world. I'm not very familiar with Mesoamerican though; for me, a lot of the names are hard to remember. As a side note, Stephen Fry's "Mythos" is a pretty interesting and easy read if you are looking to brush up on your Greek mythology. SG-1, the Dresden Files and now the Witcher series have done a lot to keep my interest in mythology going, as well as expand it. Slavic and Gaelic folklore/myth was unknown to me until I read some of those books. The Percy Jackson novels also deserve mention for continuing interest.

I have several miniatures that I've bought over the last while that I'd like to strip ,this should make things a little easier. On the left of the pic is one of the three Ultramarines intercessors that I'm assembling and painting at the moment. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet more figures for my already over-full "The Men Who Would be Kings" collection. So, Irish , but not a speck of green anywhere: Edited March 21, 2020 by paintybeard 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mutant has some green cables on him (and he's getting green trousers over the weekend) but that's it. 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...right now I have a Mushroom Group, G.W's Loon Boss (Goblin Hero...that's an oxymoron isn't it), AND a Grenadier/Mirliton Shire Dragon: Whether or not these are the next things done is anyone's guess. There are times I have the attention span of a Mayfly. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only green(ish) thing on permanent display is the cutting mat. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
