Hey all,

So I have purchased absolutely everything that Descent has to offer, and my wife and I are such huge fans of Descent that we have decided to tackle making some custom expansions of our own. We have several miniatures that beg to become part of this amazing dungeon crawl experience as monsters, however we do not paint our miniatures, I would love too, but I simply do not have the time to sit and paint when we could be sitting and playing!

My question is this: What color spray paint could we use to mimic the natural plastic minion and master colors?

Simply buying any miniature and then spraying them a solid Cream? for minions and a burgundy color red for Masters would merge them into the game world flawlessly with the professional templates that are available.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has ever done this before, or knows a spray paint that could be used well for something like this with a color scheme.

Thanks

Your idea should do the job. I also play with minis unpainted, due the lack of time. I wish I hada the time to paint all that stuff too. I only painted some D&D minis, to play them with the originally painted minis, otherwise would not look good. But for descent is really easy, you must just apply one color to each miniature.

By the way, such an horrible avatar!

Haha our avatars are awful although you have senior poster rights to the avatar! I just love bats, was looking for a razor wing avatar and this was as close as I could find!

Anyway, in case anyone else is wondering, Army Painter offers Skeleton Bone and Dragon Red spray primer, which matches the minion and master colors pretty good, certainly good enough to be more then acceptable for custom content! I will be working on a few custom pieces!

No, my friend, feel free to use it, the 'rights' are just for FFG. I was just kidding. Interesting, you mentioned bats, I never realized that the avatar has wings until now

Back on topic, I advise you to make an experience with one miniature from another game, if you have one. If the result is ok, what I bet, then you can start with your descent minis with no remorse.

You could do this with just some Krylon rattle cans:

You could try Army Painter as well but I don't think you'd find a cream off-white colour like the unpainted minis.
