Custom painted Harbingers playing pieces

Postby SavageXtreme » Mon Jul 05, 2021 8:42 am

Something I started a while ago after I got my copy of Harbingers (Oct 2019), but had put off for over a year and a half (up until April this year), and yet again up until today just finishing them off with some details and varnishing. The idea originally came from seeing an image from BoardGameGeek of someone doing a similar thing.

Skulls with numbers to easily see in different colour.

Not bad! I especially like the cauldron since it looks like something is boiling over the rim.

Hey, that's pretty cool! I always thought the pieces for The Harbingers would look beter with some colour, especially if they had the palettes of their provinces like in your version. But I'm too scared of messing it up and damaging them permanently, haha. I guess 3D printing would be an alternative, do we know of any useable 3D models out there?

If you messed up the paint job there are a number of ways to remove the paint and try again.

True, I can't really argue with that.

Exactly, if I screwed up something up or didn't like it, I just painted over the layers with the main colour, then retry with something new until I thought was suiting my tastes.

That was something I thought of at the last minute before varnishing, really gives a good effect.
