Anno Domini 1666

My source of inspiration for painting this miniature are 17th century paintings from (wealthy) Dutch citizens like the one below.

I’ve tried out glazing on these miniatures, so they may look a bit different and to bright compared to the other miniatures in this project.

I’ve based the way I painted these musketeers and my previous entry on French Musketeer 1622-1775 from Osprey Publishing.

This character is a dwarf from a noble family. He caries a crossbow he shot his father with. I’m sure any similarity with a well-known book or television series is pure coincidence. 😉

Painting “not Tyrion”

On this miniature I tried out some new techniques. To create texture I used stippling on his red clothes and line texturing on his green cloak.

I followed the tutorials of Vince Venturella for this:

“Shouldn’t a werewolf faction contain a werewolf?”

I will paint the werewolf at the end of the project along with the other monsters.

Painted my second faction! I can try out the solo rules.

This project won a golden button! ???

In the photo above you see the basic soldiers of the Broken Cross. This is the “evil sect” in the game. They are the second faction I want to finish.

Spaniards! Again!

I’ve painted a lot of Spaniards for may Eighty Year’s War project. I painted this one together with the guards because they all wear much armour. The other Spanish miniatures will come much later in the project.

These are the remaining Polish characters. The one in blue is a Scottish mercenary working for them, who can join other factions too. That’s why he looks different.

The entire Polish faction is now painted. 🙂
