In Blood & Plunder each nationality has certain distinctives that make it interesting and unique. I’ve been writing a series of articles that look at distinctives of individual factions (there are several factions within each nationality i.e Spanish Militia are very different than Spanish Corsairs) and those articles get into the nitty-gritty details of units, abilities, and strategies.

The Warriors are here! It's great to finally fill out the model options for the Native factions with these melee-focused Warriors. 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
