Spire, Brute Drones These where easy to paint an fun to put together. As with most of the spire forces I kept to the white bone and blue color scheme. The brute drones are the shock troops of the spire, heavy lumbering drones made to kill and be killed. Small units can hit hard and … Continue reading Conquest, part 9

Final Touches Ok off to the final bits of detail. I glue on the ruins I have painted and add a bit of brush here and there. I also take the time to magnetize the Knight models so they will not fall off so easy should I want to move or lift the whole thing. … Continue reading Display Board, part 6

The Pool Off to the end of this project... I need to fill the pool. At first I was going to use the water effect goo I bought, but got to thinking resin would do a better job. I get a water resin kit, which is a two part resin pour. I do the pour … Continue reading Display Board, part 5

Waterfall So I wanted to have two waterfalls flowing out of the skull eyes. Looking on line on how to do this I see you can take the thick water effect and brush it over some plastic. Let it dry and the peel it up and you have some nice sheets of flexible plastic.I colored … Continue reading Display board, part 4

Spires, Abomination Ok, this was a joy to paint and I have two - so double the fun. With Distance Learning being a real drag and a shit ton of work, I needed a good day to sit and paint. I diverted from the blue and white color scheme for my spire army and took … Continue reading Conquest, part 8

I kept with a bone color scheme and blue washes. For the bone I primed the spur white and … Continue reading Conquest, part 7

Spires So I have reached the point of painting spires based troops. For the most part I am going to deviate from my normal process here and do all washes on this army. Why? Why not. First up I took a swing at the two Pharmomancers. They came together rather well. It’s a nice model … Continue reading Conquest, part 6

Men-at-Arms Keeping with the green and white scheme, I worked up a bunch of these base line troops. They are relatively cheap and can hold the line if you have enough of them in the regiment. Sixty was a bitch to paint up, but I got them done. Not the best paint job I have … Continue reading Conquest, part 5

Mercenary Crossbowmen On to the next unit, I have twelve Crossbowmen. The detail on these is quit good. I like the flat, pot like helms and the padded armor and breast plates. Makes for a good figure. Once more I find I am a bit free with the paint, but a final light brown wash … Continue reading Conquest, part 4

House Knights The big unit in the core game for the Hundred Kingdoms are the House Knight, even though they are medium cavalry. I love mounted knights. They are always a pain to paint, but I love playing them. As you get three knights per core box and I bought an two expansion kit, I … Continue reading Conquest, part 3
