If you’re a regular follower of this blog (all 2 of you :-), you immediately see that we had much better accommodations this year. Several of our attendees are regular gamers but enjoy getting together, learning some new stuff, getting a mini-vacation with the guys, and generally just hanging out with board games as a background activity we all enjoy. This year we secured a house about an hour north of Columbus to hold our annual Cabin Con getaway for my game group.Īs usual, we spend the MLK weekend from Friday afternoon until Monday morning hanging out and playing board games. After years of fun but dilapidated furnishings and the constant threat of losing power and/or heat, we decided to level up and start paying more for better accommodations.

In any case, here are the results and I welcome your feedback and suggestions. I think that turned out to be a good decision and I’ll probably keep that in rotation as I paint minis in the future. I almost stopped without the additional grass clumps but took it one step further by adding grass. The tiger stripes are just me winging it. For example, the wings of the bird are smooth so the breaks in color are not aligned with anything in the sculpt but simply my thoughts about where the feathers might change color. Unlike minis in other games I’ve painted, a lot of the detail in the sculpt drives out changes in color but with these, I had to make it up on my own. I also figured it would be a good opportunity to practice some shading techniques as well as some more advanced basing approaches. I figured they wouldn’t turn out very well given my skill set but after seeing what others were doing on the Scythe Facebook group, I started getting the itch. The fur isn’t, well, furry, belts and straps on the leader animals tend to just disappear as they curve around the animal, etc. The minis in the expansions are better sculpts but the KS minis really lack fine detail. I own the Kickstarter version of the base game but have both expansions. I really had no plans to paint the minis in Scythe.
