I base coat all my miniatures in black (because I&#8217;m a psychopath) so painting in white requires some work. For this reason, I painted all the robes in Iraqi sand before covering in white. A black wash brought out all the details before going back over with a heavy drybrushing of white. The addition of the golden crown, the silver mask and the purple tinted sword all help to break up the white but I really like how the brown leather works alongside the robes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for gameplay, expect him to pop up in my fantasy skirmish game as a character. I can already see him being a villain that the players will later recruit. But seeing as how much I enjoyed painting this guy, I think I&#8217;ll be sticking with Vae Victis going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another 3d printed model &#8211; this time from Vae Victis.
