So, I got the board game Talisman for my birthday from my brother. A very inspired gift, I love board games, especially fantasy ones! The revised fourth edition comes with a set of plain grey plastic miniatures instead of the cardboard cutouts of previous versions, and as a fantasy gamer, it behoves me to pain these miniatures up into colourful, playable characters, even if I haven't done any painting in nearly 20 years. ![]() After a coat of white primer: ![]() Stage one: base colours, minor details: ![]() ![]() As you can see, I'm hardly an expert, and I don't even have proper model paints or brushes, I'm using car touch up paints! Nevertheless, the characters are starting to take shape, and they are certainly an improvement over the lifeless grey minis that you start with.

Love Talisman... My brothers and I play it whenever we get together (well, not every single time...but a fair amount)... We bought some expansions and stuff... Such an amazing game. I'm not into painting the figures and so on... So we just use the basic ones... |
|
Ooh Yeah! | |

So awesome. And as always, I'll bemoan that I can't play these kinds of boardgames because I have no one around who would play them. |

I saw this on amaZon for 49.99. I'm thinking if buying it and forcing the wife to play it with me.

Do it! It's way more of a traditional dice rolling board game than it is like D&D, easy to learn and fun to play. |
