**please note that this post contains spoilers for the Level 5 secret boxes for Voidwarden and Red Guard**

23rd June 2023

Last year my wife and I played through Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion.

I painted all four characters but we ended up using Hatchet and Demolitionist.

At level 5 you get to open up a secret box with an extra piece for your character. So I painted up those for our two characters.

However, I realised that I hadn’t painted the remaining two pieces – so, another spring clean up job ?

Ward staff and Sand Devil

They are relatively basic minis. There is a ward staff for the Voidwarden and a Sand Devil for the Red Guard.

I started out with a brown base coat for the Sand devil, then dry brushed up through several Sand colours, and a final small few highlights. I gave it a matt varnish to seal it and to make it look more ‘dry’.

Then it was onto the staff.

I painted it as dark metal, and made the ground a dark earth shade.

I then painted the ‘flames’ white and gave it a green wash to make it llook otherworldly.

There are cracks on the ground where the staff is struck in, so I mixed white into the green wash and ran it into those cracks, and into the glyphs at the top of the staff.

A quick job on these, but I think they came out OK.
