Hi all,
I've painted some miniatures from one of my board games. It's the King of the Forest with two dogs and a bird, all grown out of the woods. I really enjoyed painting them, organic shapes and vibrant natural colours make me happy. Would love to hear what you think.
The whole crew together:
Some pictures of the miniatures by themselves:
AMA about painting miniatures, always happy to chat about that!
Nice minis! It makes sense that as camouflage, the creatures would all have the exact colors of their environment, but aesthetically, I might mix the base browns and greens lighter and darker for use on the base vegetation versus the creatures -- just to make the creatures stand out more.
You make a very good point (and one that I did consider), I entirely agree with you that from an aesthetic point of view, it really wasn't a good choice to have the bases and the creatures be the same colour. Thematically, though (especially how they're described in the game, you can barely see them in the forest) I think it's a great fit. So it was entirely on purpose, and whether it was a good or bad choice depends on what you find important ;)
