Blood & Plunder needs terrain so I'm always on the lookout for good pieces to add to my collection.

Creating Shoal Terrain for Blood & Plunder
Using terrain at sea in Blood & Plunder seems a bit counter intuitive. However, every time I read the setup for a naval game the rule book mentions the possibility of adding terrain. What kind of terrain is there in naval games? The most common danger of the era were shoals. Shoals are areas where … Continue reading Creating Shoal Terrain for Blood & Plunder

The finished minis won't be as vibrant as my previous tutorials but they should take about half the time and considerably less colors of paint. Our process here will … Continue reading Sea Dogs – A Painting Guide
Marineros – A Painting Guide
These Spanish Sailors make up the backbone of most Spanish naval forces and if you play many games at sea as the Spanish, you'll probably find yourself painting a lot of these minis. I'll be painting this set of minis fairly close to the paint scheme shown in the rulebook, but I'll provide some alternate … Continue reading Marineros – A Painting Guide

I'm no master painter, but I've picked up some methods and techniques over the past couple years (thanks to the Great Sorastro!) and I hope this can be of use to some people. I generally paint my first set of a … Continue reading Soldados – A Painting Guide
