144Artist Explores Lyonesse or My Journeys into Wolsung
A Phoenix Rises in Shadows Gate
Been a while since I worked on my Wolsung collection even though I have been quietly collecting minis from the remaining three gangs. I figure I might as well have a complete collection so I can set up a game in isolation or teach newbies once this ends. Okay, I just like painting these and love the aesthetic of it all so why stifle my creativity. The Lockdown Leisure League has really inspired me to get back to the painting table.
Phoenix is a great figure with lots of movement and seemed a good place to start my Triad gang. I first painted his skin a yellow orange to match the art on the cards and book but thought he looked way too much like a 1930’s Buck Rogers villain and not much like an orc. Maybe it’s the grognard in me but I like my orcs and goblins to sport a bit of green in their pigmentation so started over with a green base and built up to a pale yellow green. While not perfect, I do think it looks a lot better than my first attempt.
