Blackstone Fortress
Starting point
I built all my minis. All of the core set and all of the Cultist expansion models. I started with a test mini primed black and zenith of Halfords Red. Given the amount of metal used I didn't really get to take full advantage of the zenith, but the red cloth came out nice. The flesh was a mix of Darkoath Flesh Contrast Paint and Bugman's Glow which gave a skin tone I quite like.The expansions aren’t on sale by GW anymore and the eBay market is taking full advantage on price. My Cultist minis were the “minis only” release because it was a ton cheaper and I had originally planned to just use them in Stargrave. I still intend to use them in Stargrave, but I managed to get access to a stats card for these minis to introduce them into my Blackstone games at some point.
I got all sensible for a change and considered storage before I dived into painting 50 models. I got a Lidl toolbox I used in the past for Bolt Action armies and am happy it will do the job well enough.
