Revisiting Trench Crusade Warband

Back to the Pilgrims

Taking some time to revisit my Trench Crusade warband. There are always little details you notice after the fact that could use some attention.

Touch-Up Work

Going through the models and fixing small things—cleaning up edges, punching up highlights, fixing spots I missed the first time around. It’s tedious but necessary work.

Getting Game Ready

With games coming up, I want these models looking their best on the table. Nothing ruins immersion like noticing unpainted spots or sloppy details during a game.

The Iterative Process

This is just part of the hobby. Very few models are truly “done” on the first pass. Coming back with fresh eyes often reveals things you missed, and that’s okay. It’s all part of the process.

So, I’ve been going back through uh just finishing up all the loose ends and putting things away. And I realized that now as I’m looking at the TransCusade project and kind of putting it on the shelf and revisiting it, now that the oils have dried, uh I think that there is a lot more we could do here and come back in with some highlights and like really like we could make these metallics pop. We could revisit our skin and our flesh and these fabrics and just kind of add another layer of highlights in. Um, I think we kind of speed painted these guys and I’m happy with how they look. I think they still overall turned out great.

But I just I’m looking back in now and I’m just seeing like I could really make these guys pop with a small amount of work. And I think that’s what I’m going to do tonight and going to give myself this weekend to finish up all these loose goose. uh finish up all these loose goose. See, if I look if I’m I’m looking at the lens right now and it doesn’t like when I and I’m looking the at the playback, it doesn’t look like I’m actually looking at the lens. So, I don’t know what’s been going on with that.

Like I’m looking in the middle of the screen, looking at the lens. Middle of the screen, lens. So, hopefully hopefully it works now and I can use that trick and see what’s going on. But, uh today is Friday, November 14th. Day 60 something.

I need to start tracking that. That’d be cool to do in the video. But it’s loose end project weekend. So, Trench Crusade touch-ups because I’m gonna actually play Trench Crusade next week finally. They’re finally going to get some table time painted.

I’ve only played them before I have them painted. Goblins. Got to get those guys done so I can move in to the next project that I really wanted. First, I’m going to come back in with some Valeno steel first. All right.

Nothing crazy. just I don’t know 20 minutes of edge highlighting and it’s made a huge difference edge highlighting just picking the metals back out. I need to go back through and do flesh and reds but I think that’ll be a job for tomorrow.
