A Koenig Krieg Painting Guide

The era of Frederick the Great is full of colour and spectacle. Uniforms and flags and vibrant, colourful and vary considerably from regiment to regiment, let alone army to army. Painting and basing your miniatures well is a key component to an all round pleasant gaming experience.

So I thought I might revisit an wonderful article by master painter Greg "Pessa" Perry on doing just that!

This article will inspire you to shake the dust off your neglected paints and paint brushes and begin painting your Koenig Krieg army!
