I got another set of 4 Dutch Enter Ploeg finished so I can run a nice set of 8 in a list now. I used a unit of 4 in some demos last week but a full 8 models will make them pretty deadly. I tried to work a little more yellow into the color … Continue reading Completed Enter Ploeg

African Warriors – A Painting Guide

Completed Spanish Commander – Zárate
I've been playing the 20 point commander Andres de Ochoa y Zarate recently and I decided I should paint up a commander as an older "Feeble" captain. Zarate is a really interesting commander in the game. With 3 command points and some really good abilities, he's well under-costed at 20 points but he can unexpectedly … Continue reading Completed Spanish Commander – Zárate
