The Cococuqui - Ladies of the Jungle

I’m crazy. I bought an army. It is my second army, in truth, but the first one I purchased. Kickstarter is great for being out of phase with regular passing time like that.

So OTT shot out ads for Titan Forge’s Raid on the Temple of Serpents a long while ago and I bought in on figures. Ehh… I’m not so keen on my lack of willpower when it comes to cool figures sometimes and Titan Forge is a company I know has good figures. This is one of those times where I bought big. Sure I dropped cash for the starting box of Legends of Signum but this kicks that number up a few notches. There also is a bit of difference in the figure size as Signum varied in its oversized modles and regular 28mm. Raid is nearly all 28mm and I selected only a portion to be cavalry and two HUGE monster figures (for which I am glad I have an airbrush).

I’m not a large scale gameplayer by any means as I’ve seen the mass battle mayhem of WHFB (to be resurrected one day) and all the carnage of 40K with tables full of figures. I’m aware of logistical issues for transport/storage as well as setup/play time involved. These are things that haven’t been feasible to address in past and still make me a little uneasy in thinking about it right now.
The fact is that I’ve jumped in already well above my head and I need to swim through it all. Like I said I have two armies, my first one will be a learning experience for mass amounts of troops in blocks. That’s generally what issue I find myself stymied with. I am tempted to get the book put out about army painting I saw from the same gentleman who is working with The Terrain Tutor on his. This might just be a mental block as I know that it all comes down to the level of detail I want in my figures. Pulling my head out of single model mode and turning to mass amounts of figures for play does shift the focus somewhat. Lately I caught a video by Tabletop Minions on painting focus and a video on glazing by Dana Howl that made sense which both help in my headspace to tackle the project.
