More progress on the painting challenge but things have been going... a bit... slower...
I've started work on the spearmen that I had drybrushed and I've gotten half of them painted already.
I decided to split knight army up a little bit to add some flavor to the whole thing. The soldiers in blue are the affiliated with the Crown and will form the core of my army.
In addition to these core troops, one of the two leaders for the army will be Baudric the Red (aka Lord Hawthorne from the Daqan forces of Runewars).
His set comes with a mounted figure and one on foot which will give me some options in the army as well. Baudric is definitely the more imposing of the two figures so if I field the full army, then he will move into the champion slot. Beside Baudric is one of the mounted knights that will accompany him, plus I will be painting up a unit of spearmen in his colors as well.
The next items are terrain pieces. Nothing too fancy but I'm excited to have them to add into the mix. What are they?
Spaaaaaace barrels!!! (this is a call out to Table Top Warlords YouTube channel... check them out if you haven't already!) I'll admit that I have no idea what Kevin made his out of but I made mine from assorted plastic bottle lids hot glued together, then painted. Quick and easy!
Last but not least, I added some detailing to my plant terrain. Originally I was going for quick and easy so I didn't bother with any ground cover. Well, I decided that it was time to change that up so I hit Michael's and grabbed some lichen.
This is just a sample of but you at least get the idea. It's just a minor touch but I really like how it added some realism and depth to the pieces. I've been holding off on setting up my full terrain board since I'm going to be bouncing rooms again soon but once I'm in a more permanent location, I'll have to see what I can do. Still more to do this month but this is a good start for this month! Until next time...
