Revaella Lightfoot – from Descent Journeys in the Dark Ravaella Lightfoot is the very last miniature of the Shadow of NereKhall expansion, so it means I’ve finally completed the box!! Ravaella Lightfoot is a very small miniature, but very fun to paint. Her red hair, the clothing… too bad my miniature was a little damaged […]

The Changeling – from Descent Journeys in the Dark It looks like every fantasy board game has a Changeling – Descent has one too! The Changeling is my last villain of the box The Shadow of Nerekhall, how exciting!! The Changeling is a character you want to paint in batch (they are 4 miniatures in […]

Rendiel – from Descent Journeys in the Dark Ok, it’s time to finish up this Shadow of Nerekhall box! Rendiel, you are up next! Rendiel is an elf and it looks like he is a musician – very nice character, strong pose and beautiful colours. I decided to work on Rendiel mostly by using Contrast […]

Tinashi the wanderer – from Descent Journeys in the Dark Tinashi the wanderer is another here from the Descent Journeys in the Dark’s expansion “The Shadow of Nerekhall”, along with Orkell the Swift and others I hope I will paint soon! Honestly, I think this miniature is very similar to Widow Tarha if you ask […]

The Ironbound from Descent Journeys in the Dark I still have lots of miniature to paint from the Shadow of Nerekhall expansion, but I couldn’t wait to paint the Ironbound! I don’t have lot of experience with metallic paints and I didn’t want to apply any NMM technique this time. So the time was right […]

Orkell the Swift from Descent Journeys in the Dark Orkell the Swift is from Descent’s expansion “Shadow of Nerekhall“. I have to say, I love Descent’s miniatures but in this case I didn’t like its face: I think it was damaged somehow. Anyways… Orkell the Swift has a very strong pose and he uses two axes (super […]

Ynfernael Hulk from Descent Journeys in the Dark Ynfernael Hulk is the first miniature I painted from the Shadow of Nerekhall expansion. I couldn’t wait to start painting this miniature! The Ynfernael Hulk is made by rocks and lava so this was the real challenge. I never painted the lava before and I tried to […]

High Mage Quellen from Descent Journeys in the Dark (Lair of the Wyrm) The High Mage Quellen was the las miniature of the Lair of the Wyrm box so, another one has been now completed (I bought a new one already, stay tuned!). High Mage Quellen is a very fun miniature to paint because it’s […]

The Fire Imps, from Descent Journeys in the Dark (Lair of the Wyrm) The Fire Imps were the miniatures I was really looking forward to paint, since I’ve got Lair of the Wyrm. I think the best part of The Fire Imps miniature are the flames! I’ve worked with flames before (while painting the Elementals) […]

Reynhard the Worthy, from Descent Journeys in the Dark (Lair of the Wyrm) Reynhard the Worthy is the first hero from the Lair of the Wyrm expansion. With the main box completed, I could finally focus on something else! Reynhard the Worthy is a warrior. The miniature is a funny mix of metal parts, leather […]

The Cave Spiders from Descent Journeys in the Dark This is what happened when you paint the master Cave Spider but want to finish up the box so badly that you “forget” to paint the minion Cave Spiders! 🙁 After a while, I finally finished the series and I added interesting variations to every single […]

The Ettins are ready to hit the tabletop! Finally the Ettins are both ready! Yes, I spoke several times about the importance of a nice batch painting session but I was young and I wanted to to use my time to paint other miniatures… if you are thinking the same = WRONG!! I used the […]

Finishing up the Elementals. Elementals = more than one Elemental! When I started painting miniatures I was very exited to do always something new. Well, I should hold my horses instead! 🙂 Descent – Journeys in the Dark’s box needs to be finished and I have a lot of unpainted miniatures yet to complete. I […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) Fun fact: so, I painted Avric Albright very long time ago but I totally forgot to take pictures of this work. Because of that, sorry, Avric, it seem like my memory is fading! 🙂 Avric Albright it’s a warrior. Hence, all this decorative details. Certainly, it’s […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) The Goblins Archers from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (second edition) are actually the last miniature I painted (so far!). I painted them in batch to finish them all (no more Goblins). I found painting in batch a very convenient practice, especially if you have […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) I thought that Grisban was the smallest miniature in the box but I was wrong: Tomble Burrowell is even smaller! Tomble is a very fun miniature to paint and it’s full of small details. I used my 000 and 00 brushes only. Guess why! 🙂I would […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) The Flesh Moulders were the last batch of miniature I painted so far.The trickiest part was trying to provide a nice touch of reflection on the relevant area (close the whirl of magic). Even if they don’t look easy to paint, I was surprised in seeing […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) Jain Fairwood was the last hero in the in the box (I bought an expansion already, don’t worry 🙂 ). Her strong pose helps a lot and it was easy enough to catch the right light to apply to the miniature. I primed the whole miniature […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) I painted the Zombies in batch Zombies and I saw the benefit of it right away! They were my first zombies and I experimented a lot around the skin tones, trying to give a “rotten” look, as it should be (I never saw a zombie myself […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) Ok ok, I need to explain: there is no “official” miniature for the familiar but I was tired of using that annoying cardboard token so I came up with this miniature (from Warhammer). I bought a box full of skeletons and I just picked the one […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) The Merriod gave me the chance to play with Scenic Water, finally! 🙂 I tried to mimic the water effect with some custom-made solutions but DO NOT TRY AT HOME! Scenic Water is the best (is not the cheapest option, tho!). Because it’s awesome, I used […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) When I gave the first look at Grisban the Thirsty I said: “What??”. It looks really crazy to paint (well) all those small details but, at present, is one of the miniature I enjoyed the most! Yes, Tomble Burrowell is even smaller! 🙂 I primed the […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) Finally, the Ettin! I couldn’t wait to paint this miniature! I never played with the skin too much and this was the best way to learn! It’s actually very important to provide a good prime here. I primed the miniature using black, grey and white, to […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) Ok Widow Tarha, green skin? Uhm… let’s try! The contract between green and purple is fascinating and this character has an outstanding color balance. Besides, a lot of accessories and details make this Widow Tarha a great miniature to paint. I primed the miniature in black […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) I was looking to paint the Shadow Dragon since I opened the box for the first time but I knew that it wouldn’t be easy! For this reason (and because I am not a PRO), I choose to follow a YouTube guide made by Mark Sorastro […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) Let’s confess: I was really concerned by the blue/green cloak of Leoric of the Books but turned out it was a fascinating process. I primed the Leoric of the Books in white and, once dry, I applied my base color. I started with the skin and […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) Syndrael was the first Hero I painted and I was fascinated by her armour. I couldn’t wait to use some gold! 🙂 I primed the Syndrael in white and, once dry, I applied the base colours. Needless to say, I started with her golden armour. For […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) Water, fire, stones and wind – the Elemental is the perfect mix! The Elemental is amazing and paint all the elements one by one is a good exercise. I primed the miniature in white and I decided to apply the base colors, starting with the wind. […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) Can’t complain, the Cave Spiders were very easy to paint. After the Barghest, these were my second challenge. It’s also easy to make the Cave Spiders a flat black miniature so I choose to work on the base colour a little and introduce a little variety. […]

from Descent – Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition) The Barghest was my fist miniature and I was scared by the furs and how to make them stand out. Besides, I didn’t want to make them equal to each other and I wanted to introduce some variety. Same principle applied for the Cave Spiders. The […]
