The GREAT BATTLE of our time

Back to 2022

After buying the mat, I wanted to dust off my old Minas Tirith set, but it really wasn’t impressive enough compared to the 3 feet mat… I then began to look for more Minas Tirith-like material on the internet.

The answer came from our trusty Renedra products. I saw this:

But I needed to match the exact same colours of my old Minas Tirith walls.

So I went to my local game store with my piece of wall and began to compare it with the paints there… I found that citadel’s Wraithbone was an exact match.

I painted and built the tower. I’m planning on offer you a project about it. 🙂

Then I needed one of those nice siege towers, and after sailing the internet again, I found prices were really impressive, and I thought I’d better give a try to do the tower my self. I did it with popsicle sticks, wooden sticks, toothpicks and some cardboard and foamboard.

I also have in mind to dedicate a project to the making of the siege tower

And now for the main purpose of the project.

I wanted to finish ALL my old miniatures, there were still dozens of them languishing in boxes. Their scent of old and wet cardboard was intoxicating…

The first problem you encounter when you resume an old army is how to match the exact same colours of the minis you painted 15 years ago…

Luckily in these years I have painted a lot, so my experience has given me new skills that allow me to have a keen eye for paints and the tones they offer so 

That is, actually, that I had to try and repeat and repaint miniatures like crazy until some of them resembled each other.

And that meant sometimes that I had to walk again to the local store to grab more paint… with minis on my bag… it is frightening how many brands and possibilities you got today compared to 20 years ago…
