This was my first batch of minis. It had been roughly 5-6 years since I last painted my Warhammer 40K armies. COVID-19 hit in the spring, and I decided I would pick up the hobby again to fill some free time from the gyms closing. I still had my box of paints, mostly hobby store brand acrylics, but a few Citadel pots. Unfortunately, most of them were dried out. I tried to revive them, but to no avail. After taking inventory, I was short on many basic colors and found the Army Painter Warpaints Starter box online (and still in stock). Having never used any other brand than Citadel, I was unfamiliar with them and felt like a heretic. But I wasn't happy with the GW pots, so this affordable option seemed like a great starting point.
I had the original Kickstarter edition of Arcadia Quest sitting unpainted in my collection for nearly six years. In that time, I had managed to get it to the table one single time for the intro scenario, but never again.Without a consistent gaming group, campaign games are a tall ask. But at the very least, I enjoyed the mini sculpts and the idea of the game, so it was time to get painting.
COVID shipping delays were exacerbated by my impatience, so I got to work with what I had.
They turned out alright, they have room for improvement, but I've got too many unpainted minis to go back and redo these ones. They'll serve as a good reminder of where I started this journey.Wisp
