Gunner Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone! After a long time away (my last post is from January 24, 2017 - it was almost a Dark Age to me), I'm back at Eurobricks! And I bring to you now the biggest LEGO project I have ever undertook: LEGO God of War! God of War is an action-adventure game franchise created at Sony's Santa Monica Studio. It began in 2005 on the PlayStation 2 (PS2) video game console and has become a flagship title for the PlayStation brand, consisting of ten games across multiple platforms with an eleventh currently in development. Based in ancient mythology, the story follows the titular protagonist, Kratos, a Spartan warrior, who was tricked into killing his family by his former master, Ares, the Greek God of War. This sets off a series of events that leads to wars with the mythological pantheon. The Greek mythology era of the series sees Kratos follow a path of vengeance due to the machinations of the Olympian gods. LEGO is my favorite toy since I was a kid. God of War is one of my favorite video game series, and I have been playing since I was a teenager. Greek Mythology is my favorite mythology. Now I combine all three in this custom LEGO theme, with lots of sets and minifigures. My goal is to create and present the models and minifigs as if they were real products. Sadly, I know a real licensed theme is impossible, given the violent nature of the games. I will post my creations here in this topic, after posting on my Instagram account (@bricks.of.chaos, give it a follow, I appreciate). The minifigures will be covered in greater detail after the sets are presented. Hope you guys enjoy!

zinnn Posted February 17, 2022 Those hydra’s ear-wings should be detachable, it’d be a good piece to use in other themes/projects. also would be cool to be able to connect the two smaller ones to the king, making it a three headed monster. Overall, cool idea! How long did it take you to put this all together? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Overall, cool idea! How long did it take you to put this all together? Thank you for the feedback! Initially, the ear-wings were going to be moveable and detachable, but there were problems with the tickness of the connector and of the wing, and I dropped that idea. But now that you've mentioned it, I had an idea! Maybe I'll execute it sometime later. I had the idea around 2013-2014, than completely abandoned it. In 2018, I tried again and then dropped again. Around september last year I finally managed to truly dedicate myself to this project. Each set takes around 4 months to be completed (that includes searching references, the build itself, the decorations for the minifigures, the custom moulds, the rendering of the images, all very consuming of my spare time).
