I bought a large collection of the board game. My OCD decrees that I HAVE to paint the minis before I play the game
.
The figures are nice big chunky 32mm, decently detailed plastic. There are flash and mould lines of course, but unless they are too bad, I leave them. It's only a board game and more important to slap some paint on than display purposes. Works for me
.
I'm almost exclusively using Army Painter Speedpaints 2.0, which allows me to paint a hero figure in about 60-90 minutes, so progress is made.
