Hello everyone,
Long time lurker, first-time poster here! I have taken huge amounts of inspiration from the community here (and for that, I thank you all) and wanted to follow in your footsteps by documenting my progress in accruing, building, and painting my latest obsession - Empire troops!
The first minis I ever received were in the late ‘80s, picked up by my dad from a car boot sale alongside a copy of one of the very early editions of White Dwarf. I was hooked. I didn't know what I was looking at, but I loved the art style and aesthetic.
At the time I was money poor and time rich. Fast forward 30 odd years and things have switched somewhat. I have a family, a job and a house that needs work. All good problems to have - but it does mean progress will be slow.
To that end, I figured being able to post here periodically would provide the incentive needed to keep plodding through the several hundred minis that will comprise the army.
So to kick off the post, I wanted to share 3 varieties of the scheme that I have been working on.
I wanted something that would pop but be semi-realistic; not too cartoony but equally not too muted.
I think I’m leaning towards the white-feather guy. What do you guys think?
