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 Hero Quest I painted the Goblin as a gift for a special friend of mine. Hero Quest was the first fantasy board game we played together and this miniature quickly became an icon for the game itself. 🙂 The skin is the most important part here and I tried to make it stand out […]

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 […]
