Searching for Inspiration


I think it sometimes can be hard to find inspiration for painting and also coming up with a paint scheme and back story for your army. Personally, I have found video games to be a decent source of inspiration. In truth Everquest has always been a rock solid source for me. My Dark Elf Generals armor is painted the color to resemble an armor set called "Sentient Armor" which was a very dark, pale red. This adventure spurned on my first adventure in mixing paints. In short, scab red mixed with chainmail splashed with some old red ink made a nice tone.

As for my next army project which I am beginning, I took a little adventure in good ol' Evercrack to Castle Mistmoore (pictured above). Those of you are familiar with the game will probably have a hint at what the next army will be. I'll be giving the formal announcement once I finish building my first unit.
