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:

A group of 4 miniatures that have been painted. The king is a large humanoid figure, there are 2 dogs, and a bird perched on a tree. They are painted in vibrant greens and browns.

Some pictures of the miniatures by themselves:

The Forest King holding a bow and having a glowing yellow sword on its back.

A painted forest dog, partially standing on a stone, its head lowered but looking up.

A painted forest dog, its head raised up looking out.

A bird with blue-ish feathers perched on a piece of wood. It has a wooden carapace.

AMA about painting miniatures, always happy to chat about that!

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 ;)
