Miniature Review

You likely spotted in my last post that I'd been working on the monsters alongside the dragon and dirigible. There's only three of them, but they're all unique and once again add some more colour to the table.

The sail being torn to pieces is really cool, and I like the smaller details like the seaweed and the tentacles. It might have been nice if they were a bit bigger, but maybe it's best that they're not taking anything away from the ships themselves.

Roundup

These were once again pretty quick to paint up using a lot of the same colours as before. I made the sail really bright, so it stands out a bit along with the tentacles, but otherwise than that I kept the palette fairly muted.

I think that's everything painted now other than the ships, so now I can get started with the real focal points of the boxset!
