Painting Miniatures
A painted miniature, even if not painted to a professional level, will always stand out on the game board - making games more eye-catching and visually exciting.
We’ve got some advice on how to dazzle your opponents. Depending on your level and experience with miniature painting, there are some tricks that can help you achieve that.
One of them is to paint your models with highly contrasting colors, and you can do this by using a very contrasting color scheme. For example, a deep blue with pure white for a PanOceanic rifleman will get the job done.
A trick for brightening your miniatures up is focusing on the top parts of the miniature (heads, shoulders, etc.) since the angle of a player’s vision will always be from the top down.
Miniature color range
Other options is looking for an original color scheme that catches the eye (lime green instead of more classic green, for example), or giving your army a more uniform appearance (painting all of the miniatures with the same tones on the same parts).
You must use bright colors so they don’t get lost in the scenery and become too hard to see. We want them to shine!
Miniature base
A key component of any miniature is its base, and we should paint our models with that in mind.
First, pick the type of terrain you like the most, and then use common and original elements to decorate the base (same kind of plants, rocks, road, etc.).
With these simple tips you’ll get a boost when trying to stand out on the game board and you’ll also gain practice towards increasing your painting and modelling skills.
