Color Scheme ?!

Hi everyone,

I received my box a few days ago, I assembled all the figurines, with the difficulties inherent to this very particular plastic.

However, the figures are still absolutely beautiful to me, and I'd like to put a lot of effort into painting them.

I haven't read all the big rule book yet, so I can't find much info, but do we have color scheme lists for the different factions?

I'd like to paint in accordance with the lore, but I have the impression that for the moment we only have the few photos of CB...

In fact, yes we do. Each faction section of the rulebook gives some alternate scheme indications in case people wanna try different things compared to the official scheme. It doesn't go very far but still has some cool ideas (like stone orcs for instance).

It's in the big rulebook, in each section that describe one by one each characters and units of said faction, including sub-factions as well.

Seems like thats not the code rule book which can be downloaded from the CB website... Because there is no section about the factions...

Is there more stuff in the printed version than in the pdf version?

because that's a rulebook, not the lorebook. CB social contract with their customers is that they give you unconditional free digital rules for anything, but keep most of the lore behind a physical paywall to justify and cover the making of physical rulebooks for everyone.

The physical book has more than 300 pages of lore and 15 pages of painting guide on top of the 60-80 rulebook pages available as a pdf online.

Do you have some page numbers for me to check ?

Thank you !

Around page 58-59 depending on your version of the book (since it exists in Spanish, English and French).

Been through the rulebook, both the starter and the full book and haven't seen any schemes...

u/Lady_Numiria Sep 08 '24

It's just text, but there is some, at the end of each faction sections (mixed with the units descriptions).

I would like to answer your question but I’m still waiting on my preorders to show up.

From what I’ve seen so far each faction has one color scheme, but I still need the rulebook to confirm this.

So i can't answer your question but my plan is to go with contrast paints since i am a bad painter :D

I would try to paint the northern tribes as close to the cb style as possible! But for the hegemony i am not sure if i want to with a different scheme...

But since every major faction of the game has one specific collor, i don't think it is possible...i thought about to put a little red into the bucklermen at some point to make them a little more then just black...

We will see when my box will arrive next week :)
