Redvers and Son Get Into Bushido

The Grey Pilgrim is a ronin in Bushido and therefore not part of any specific faction but available for selection by a number of factions. My son has selected her for his Temple of RoKan faction a number of times, to great effect. In game, she’s handy with her spear and is quick around the battlefield, having a 5″ move rather than the more standard 4″ (trust me, on a 2ft x 2ft battlefield, in a game where placement is key, that extra 1″ is a huge boost). She also has a very handy ranges attack, Call Lightening, which, coupled with her 3 ranged dice, makes this quite a dangerous attack. She also has a Ki feat, Raijin’s Rage, that when activated, on any successful ranged attack she is allowed to make a second ranged attack on any model with 3″ of the first. This second attack ignores cover which makes this quite powerful. She’s certainly been a pain in my side every time I’ve faced her.

Painting wise, I wanted to do this quickly and try out the speed paints. So after the zenithal highlight, I set to work. The robes were painted Gravelord Grey, which I later gave a very light dry brush of a light grey over the top. The sword handle was highlord blue, the hair Dark Wood and the spear shaft Bony Matter. The metal was painted using normal acrylics. I don’t have a skin tone in speed paint, so this was painted using my Scale75 skin tone set but done very quickly with a light skin tone/golden skin tone highlight/base and with a thin wash after. I think that was it and completed in an evening.

Basing was a simple acrylic mud and then given some static grass. Job done.
