I pledged for the 2nd Edition Kickstarter, but by the time the miniatures arrived I'd already been drawn into a different project. So, everything has languished in boxes under my gaming table for far too long. I've finally reached a point where I have to work through the projects I have stocked up, rather than starting brand new ones, so my Strange Aeons collection might finally see the light of day. I've been painting miniatures off and on for almost 20 years, but typically either fantasy or science fiction ranges. This will be my first "modern" set.
The Eternal Golden BraidI've started with the Cultist miniatures. They're fairly uniform in color scheme and relatively low in detail, being covered in robes and hoods, so they're ideal for cutting my teeth before attempting more-complicated models. My technique is extremely basic - base coats, some fine details, and a dark wash to blend everything together.
I'm not yet sure what kind of board(s) I might eventually make, so I split the difference and based half as in the city and half as in the country. I made the two groups relatively equal in composition: Three basic grunts, two ranged specialists, one melee specialist, a Damned Soul, and a leader. I'll likely follow suit with the other groups.
