About the Project
Over the year I’ve been dabbling with my City States army but now its time to pull it all together. When I painted my Hundred Kingdoms army I kept them quite gritty but I want these to look like the shiny new kids on the block so I’m going to attempt to use the more poppy speed paints to really set them apart. It does mean I have to be more careful as I can’t really on drybrushes and washes to bale me out!

1200 point First Blood list completed.
1200 point First Blood list.
Needed some objective markers for todays mission so I broke out the blue foam, modge podge, soldering iron and some sand!Unfortunately the beers flowed too quickly for me to keep a detailed report but her are some images from the battle. Mission was to destroy 4 objectives and the City States came out on top in the end!
The big freaky boss, it’s the Eidolon!
And he’s done. Ready to tear up the enemies of the City States!
Mighty Minotaurs!
Now for another unit where I didn’t take pictures of all the steps as I rushed them to get ready for a First Blood game.
I need another unit so I’ll add in the other steps when I get them done.
Time for the BIG GUN! The Promethean Giant!
Now this chap was painted last year as soon as he came out. I got too excited to wait and as such forgot to record the painting steps.
To be honest he’s not that different than the speed paints I’ve used for the standard guys in the army.
Time for the BIG GUN! The Promethean Giant!
Full disclosure this guy was painted when he came out last year as I was to excited to wait. Because of that I did forget to do the paint pictures so it’s just the finished images. You can pretty much work out the speed paints used as it’s in line with the basic guys!
Hardcore Fawn
Now for something a little more rustic. It’s up next with the Selinoi
Hoping to get back on track after finally losing my hobby space to this little weasel. It’s back to cupboards and kitchen tables for me!
Bases painted up with some Zandri Dust, now it’s just a case of touching up any missed areas. Also I think the skin may need a little bit of highlighting, beige anyone?The elite Agema
Next up it’s time for some Elite troops and it’s the sword and board wielding Agema. I want these to look more menacing so I think I’m going to go with black cloaks.
And done!
And the rest are done and based!
Polemarch
And to lead the force it’s the glorious Polemarch, again painted the same way as the Hoplites
Hoplites
Now I’ve noticed with these that painting them with cloak and shields on is going to be a pain in the arse so I’ve decided to paint up separately and assemble afterwards
Quick note metallic speed paints weren’t a thing when I starter these so as I’ll be washing the metals and old friend came for a drybrush.
Now I did get a bit forgetful with the photos whilst I was assembling. The skin tone is Speedpaint Crusader skin
After a dip in the pot the leader is done, now for the rest of the unit.
Freaky Inquisitors!
Simple Zenith to start
Now the bases are down I think the skin is a bit too pink so I want to tone it down a bit with a drybrush. Now, this may sound a lot like heresy (cue Donald Sutherland meme!) but I’m not going with the Brainmatter on this one but another favourite of mine. The mighty ‘Stone Golem’ \m/
After painting the base with Zandri dust and a quick dip in the basing mix the freaky weirdo is done! Just need to get the other two finished!
