Hello everyone,
After years of hiatus, I have started painted minis again. I started with my Memoir 44 and Cyclades minis, but quickly wanted to go back to something a little bigger and more detailed (I had started all the way back in the early 2000's with the Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game, when it was first released).
I also wanted something with a simple ruleset so I could quickly teach friends and family to play with me, as I don't plan on playing this competitively. I thought about Bolt Action and SW:Legion but ultimately decided against those as Bolt Action is a little too complex, Legion still too expensive, and with the discontinuation of Runewars in French I was able to pick up the core set + 2 expansions (Heavy Crossbowmen and Death Knights) for less than a Legion core set. Plus, the Golem!
Anyway, I decided to paint my Daqan in a scheme somewhat inspired by Warhammer Fantasy imperials, and my Reanimates as some sort of wraiths clad in old rusty armour. It's a very quick scheme to do: white base, green wash, white brushing, and then paint the armour and wood/leather bits.
Still a lot to improve of course, and I won't be shading the fabric with black wash on my next Daqan minis like I've done here, it looks messy especially on the white. I'll just do some layering.
Bases are Army Painter Brown Battlegrounds left unpainted, and some static grass.
What do you think?
