I've had this board game sitting around for a couple years now, of which I've only been able to play it maybe a handful of times... this is a shame because of the vast array of interesting components that comes with it. I have been talking with a few friends of mine over at the gaming store and to remedy this lack of play we've come to the conclusion that there needs to be a weekly descent campaign. Great! In response i've decided that to spice up the game a bit I'd take a go at painting the miniatures that come with the game. I've decided to paint them in a particular order so that we can get the most out of the game even while it is being painted. There are also a few conventions i've decided to use to distinguish the master monsters from the regular minions after they've all been painted.

So here's the painting order:
-Core Set Master Monsters
-Core Set Minion Monsters
-Expansion Master Monsters
-Expansion Minion Monsters
-Hero Miniatures
To get the feel of what it would be like to paint a descent miniature i ran a test run on one of the Skeleton Archers. I painted it much like i would paint other skeletons in my collection taking inspiration from the card provided in the game box.

I'm actually rather impressed as to how these miniatures paint up, i was expecting it to be more challenging or to have less detail than it actually does, but all in all it wasn't a bad miniature to paint.
I'll add more updates as models get painted along with any other interesting things i have to add.
