Brushmistress + Kingdom Death: Painting Master Class

Master miniature painter Jessica Rich will be leading our first officially sponsored miniature painting class. Mark your calendars for April 28th and 29th and head over to (presumably) sunny Sacramento to learn the craft of color unification, sheer fabrics, free-hand patterns and more using the Pinup Phoenix Dancer and Pinup Dragon Sacrifice. Reserve your spot now!

Community Spotlight

The Kingdom Death community hasn’t let the cold slow them down in the new year! Creators have launched dozens of new endeavors in 2018—new Kingdom Death campaigns, new painting series, new video recap projects. There’s been a ton to keep up with! Here’s just a glimpse of the KD projects players have recently shared across the web and directly with us at the official KD Twitter account (@kingdomdeath).

A Kingdom Death Love Story

Perfectly timed for this romantic season, Alex Emmer shares a unique Kingdom Death artifact. You see, Alex proposed to his fiance last August… in the middle the Kingdom Death booth at Gen Con. To commemorate the happy occasion, Adam gave the couple a one-off, 3D-printed Lucky Charm. Alex has since passed the charm onto one of our favorite painters, Shoshie, who’s transformed the token into a one-of-a-kind treasure. Many thanks to Alex for sharing! Here’s hoping it grants the happy couple good fortune for years to come!

Our First Last Bard

It’s the season for fresh starts and new beginnings! Keeping in theme, we wanted to show off fresh takes on several newer KD minis. To start off, we’ve got @Atolm’s harmonious take on the Last Bard, a herald of the wildest changes. With its sonorous gristle and babbling boils, the Bard’s instrument promises a symphony like ever heard. Atolm’s malicious musician looks every bit as enthusiastically deadly as the music she’s sure to produce. Fantastic work, Atolm!

The Perfect Defense

Shoshie’s back at work with another relatively new model. This time around she took on the Paladin, a warrior whose faith literally armors her in the form of a massive, mystical shield. We’re absolutely loving the grim, golden spin on the Paladin’s massive shield, especially with its tears of crimson cloth. Truly divine work, Shoshie!

A New Class of Survivors

Jay Adan shares his work on the new survivors from the Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5 Update Box. The Old Survivor definitely looks like he’s seen it all, while the Young Survivor might not quite know what she’s in for. There’s some great storytelling in those stained and fresh outfits! Hope these give those of you kicking-off your 1.5 campaigns a few ideas!

Bits of Board KD Prologue

The crew at Bits of Board kicks off a new Kingdom Death playthrough on YouTube, working through the prologue fight with the White Lion. In addition to being a first-play, Bits of Board also provides a dramatic reading of the campaign’s introductory story. If you’ve ever wanted to start your KD campaign with a touch of gravitas, but you don’t have a radio announcer’s moody range, here’s a recording to help. Thanks for posting, Bits of Board and, good luck with the campaign!
