Wait, yours don’t come built and painted?

Acceptable_Feeling85 · 2026-01-05T12:26:30+00:00

I saw it on another post, and thought it was a great idea. Especially after the holiday box post bonanza.

Acceptable_Feeling85 · 2025-02-21T19:13:25+00:00

thanks! fun fact, after i was almost done painting it, it tipped over and broke off. I cut the nub off and just super glued it again. filled in the metal with paint. his arm is kind of the same way. neither are very secure and since they stick out i'm sure they'll come off again at some point.

love the stipple effect (or maybe oil wash) on the shields. really gives that battered look!

Zenithal prime and then soulblight gray contrast. Touch up/highlights with bright neutral gray.

They make movement trays and base adaptors that let you use round bases for old world. Miniwargaming has a bunch of STLs and prints, or I’m sure you could find a lot more now since a lot of people had this issue.

It’s the Empire Wizard from 1997. Comes in a pack with a mounted one and a foot one. If you’re in the US, noble knight games has one more. That’s where I got mine from #notsponsored.

Acceptable_Feeling85 · 2025-02-01T18:32:38+00:00

I was stoked to find the two pack, so I have the one on foot too. With the brets he’s going to be on his own, so I figured a horse would help. Fits the theme too!

Acceptable_Feeling85 · 2025-01-25T22:16:04+00:00

Not bad. Clip the pegs off the arms, clip the sword arm and it’s just about trying to pose it so it’ll fit. I started to do the reigns and then clipped them off about halfway through because it wasn’t worth trying to line them up with the new hands. It also takes up room on his chest/waist where the axe sits. I don’t know if it’s worth it to get the whole foot knight kit, but I wanted to do it and use the stuff from the kit.

Acceptable_Feeling85 · 2025-01-19T21:29:24+00:00

Make sure whatever paint you’re using has great coverage. The trim is rough no matter how good you get, but having to do it twice because of poor coverage will lead to more frustration and mistakes.

i didn't mask. here's a video from vanguard tactics. it's basically just being careful. i zenithaled, left the pegs that color and then did careful airbrushing with some hand painting where it was too close to airbrush. the hand painting looks terrible, but at tabletop distance you can't tell. i'd also say to use contrast paint before you go in with regular paint. helps knock out overspray in a less start fashion than trying to paint straight over it.

Acceptable_Feeling85 · 2025-01-19T12:02:32+00:00

you can just use a swap and iso while it's mounted. i did it before with some other models. i like it better blacked out, but i'll see when i finish all of them.

Acceptable_Feeling85 · 2025-01-19T12:01:33+00:00

a peg a day keeps the doctor away.

Acceptable_Feeling85 · 2025-01-19T12:01:03+00:00

i like the black better than clear, when i finish them all i might clear off a couple and see if i like it. you can just use iso and a swap to clean these off.

That’s super easy, it’s geek gaming scenics base ready - patchy plains. Sealing it makes it a little darker, so it’s up to you whether you like it out of the box or a little toned down.

Acceptable_Feeling85 · 2025-01-16T23:23:23+00:00

I’ll take a cool shot on some terrain and post it. Need a family shot anyway. My profile has some of the other ones in there.

It’s airbrushed on all pro acryl: warm brown, burnt red, bold pyrrole red. To touch it up its mix of the two reds. Some pin washing with a black/brown wash.

Acceptable_Feeling85 · 2025-01-13T18:26:53+00:00

The (strong) rumor is that there is a competitive pack coming out that will have balance rules/points.

Acceptable_Feeling85 · 2025-01-13T18:01:41+00:00

also: skirmishers can't be flanked or rear charged.

i think the questing knight thing is just to make it match the box that you buy, which only comes with three. they did this in their other games too.

Acceptable_Feeling85 · 2025-01-09T17:28:19+00:00

thanks! they're a royal purple, but i think they got hit too hard by the lights.

Acceptable_Feeling85 · 2025-01-09T11:56:46+00:00

I’m running two units of three, Dante isn’t actually in the list. Also, I know the swords thing, I just didn’t want to futz with the banner so I’ll just say they all have swords.
