Reply To: Historical accuracy when painting minis. How important is it to you?

I like my minis to look historically accurate (to me anyway), but basically i am to get the general colour right on them. I am definitely no rivet counter but it just feels right to do it this way.

I think if i was to paint them colours that to me didnt look right it would lose the historical feel and i’d find myself mentally in Konflict 47 or some other alternative war. Its the type of person i am though, history (to a greater extent) is fact and so why would you colour it differently unless it of course wasnt history?

Ive no problem playing against alternate looking army but writing this it seems this is how i think about historical gaming, and for me its mostly about the look.
