Let me just this out of the way at the beginning. My miniature painting skills are sub-par at the best of times, anyway, but I feel like I’m experiencing a distinct, new level of suck in getting used to 15mm.…
Like most of my gaming projects, my 15mm Renaissance skirmish project got put on hold when the United States went into COVID-19 isolation (such as us dumb Americans have, of course). By that point I had painted up my initial…
