I have bunch of games with miniatures made of single colour plastics which is a bit boring. I did buy a Warhammer paint kit to eventually try to paint some but so far I was too lazy (or scared? 😅) to try.

Do you colour your miniatures? If yes, what do you do to them - nice single colour coating/detailed multicolor paint job/…?

Edit: “derailed” -> “detailed”

    Exactly, it’s my “make them presentable” procedure, really. I’ll never brag about how well they look but they definitely have more presence than plain grey.

    And I agree, not all board games have high quality minis unfortunately. But I’ve rarely encountered any that didn’t look better with a primer / base layer, some wash and/or dry brush.

    Plus I really enjoy differentiating them a bit by picking hues for the ink and highlights that match the character class or monster type etc. But that is really as far as I’m selling to go nowadays. :)
