About the Project
When I did this last year, I wasn’t sure if it would be a good idea to lump all my miniature painting for the year into one massive year-long project. But it seems to have been received pretty well, so let’s do it again!

Savage Core Atlanteans
In Savage Core, Atlantis is a lost colony of Romans (or maybe Greeks?), but I didn’t want to go with the usual brown, gold and red – I’ve done plenty of that for Gangs of Rome. Even though these guys aren’t from the undersea Atlantis of Aquaman or Namor, I thought a blue and silver scheme might look nice.
These were done using a mix of techniques. I started out wanting to use the Kev Dallimore method of layering blobs of color from dark to light, but in many places I ended up falling back on my tried and true base color/wash/highlight method. I think the finished product looks pretty good though, and more or less what I had in mind.
I normally like a plain, simple base, but since this game takes place in the jungle I added a few tufts here and there. I don’t know if it was entirely necessary, but I think the green and brown contrasts nicely with the blue and silver.
2024 models painted so far: 8, all for Savage Core (but of course we know that won’t last)
