Spattering of Paint

Well the colour correction for this image was a but haywire, so apologies if the image is a bit dark/pink on your monitor.

Still - having completed the starter sets for Anima Tactics I decided to jump straight into the minis I'd picked up because I thought they looked good, starting with Yuri.

The white/gold armour was a bit fiddly, but I think it came out OK. I decided to stick with the non-metallic paint so that it was consistent with how Kronen Roxxon was painted - they share the same faction after all.

Another mini pulled from the past years - this time the human female rogue once again from the Wizards of the Coast original Star Wars line.

This is still one of my favourite miniatures in my collection. The yellow even managed to come together well.

The other half of the Anima dark starter, Bael was relatively painless to complete after Cheshire. Completion should allow for some test games with which to entertain oneself.

Trying a new photo taking setup, which has had some variable results. Will probably keep adjusting over the coming month. Hopefully I'll stumble across a method that results in images requiring less colour correction, which quite often is resulting in some quite darkened images compared to what I see outside the camera's lens.

After handling the the miniatures packaged in the dark starter for Anima Tactics I really wasn't looking forward to painting them. Lots of fiddly details all over the place would make for a nightmarish job, and I was pretty confident that I wouldn't be able to do them justice.

After finishing the first of them - the so-called Dark Cheshire, I think I have to say that my fears were well founded.

All in all, I'm just happy that I didn't make a complete botch of it...

Still the feathers could be vastly better, and I should have used a different shade for the sword than the same grey used on the clothing.

Hopefully the second mini from the starter will be less of a painting nightmare. But I doubt it.

As an aside - amusingly they managed to mis-spell Cheshire in the Anima Tactics rule book. Oops.
