These look great, although the trouble with strictly following the art colours is that it decreases visibility while playing the game. I prefer them being more exaggerated colours, and swapping the colours out in places to match the actual faction colours. e.g. the Crimea faction is yellow with green accents, not red/orange like in the art.

A fair idea on gameplay. I must admit I have never played the game. The miniatures I painted were on commission so it was not something I was aware of for gameplay purposes. I really enjoyed painting them though and I really enjoyed using the art as a reference for painting them. Iirc I painted the base rims their faction colours to help with identifying them, but that was all.

Great work! The tiger stripes came out well.

[@ZombieSashimi]

I was surprised myself. That whole model came out pretty solid.

I liked how you described your preparation process. Thank you for the video.

[@ZombieSashimi]

Thank you. It was a really fun project and with so much beautiful artwork it really seemed a shame not to use it as part of the approach to paint these models.

Oh shit some spoilers for the campaign expansion in the characters shown

I have no idea! I have not played the game. The miniatures I painted were on commission, but I loved the artwork so much I wanted to try and paint them with the art in mind.

What a great video! I'm in the process of painting my Scythe set. I've utilized Jakub's art station folio and the official Scythe art book for pallet references, but you have additional reference art I cannot seem to find. Where did you find all the references?

[@ZombieSashimi]

Glad you liked it. Much of the artwork I found was on the Stonemaier Games Scythe website in their gallery section. Otherwise, much of it was google searches for scythe artwork and then some classical artwork mixed in for the comparisons I made.

@@ZombieSashimi Thanks for replying so quickly! I found much of it on the Stonemaier site as well, but the Fenris and Tesla arts were giving me some grief. Thanks again.

[@ZombieSashimi]

No worries. Were you able to find them eventually?@@The_Broomhill

[@The_Broomhill]

@@ZombieSashimi yes! Plus, I realized too I can always take some photos of the player mats themselves in order to try and import some imagery into Photoshop.
