I've painted most of my Native models with a fairly "brown" skin tone, mimicking the Firelock promotional models. This easy Tan Earth+Seraphim Sepia paint job works fine and I did a painting guide on the Warriors using this method but this guide will be using a different set of paints with the goal of a … Continue reading Warrior Musketeers – A Painting Guide
I've been playing the Natives for almost a year now and they have proved to be a fun and strong "nationality". They have proved strong enough that for a while, no one in my club was really enthusiastic about fighting them.

The canoa has the distinction of being the smallest vessel in Blood & Plunder. It seems to be primarily used by the Native factions but I figured it would be worth posting a short article looking at this boat in detail.

This painting guide will help you get your minis looking a lot like the examples Firelock Games uses for promotional material, although I'll be aiming to imitate the general look of the Natives in … Continue reading Native Warriors – A Painting Guide
I painted up another English Commander with the intention of using him as a Portuguese/European militia commander. I painted this guy while I worked on the Native Warriors guide and this post is just an excuse to post some pictures of another finished project. Fair-haired and fancy coated. I painted him to match a set … Continue reading Completed English Commander
