Review of Mission Board and Signpost Kit
Introduction: Need a quest? A place for your wanted posters? How about a welcome sign to your local post-apocalyptic zombie-infested middle-sized small town? Or just some medieval road signs, with or without a handy skull for atmosphere? Galladoria Game's easy-to-paint "Mission Board and Signpost Kit" will be a very useful miniature accessory for your roleplaying games and miniature skirmish games. The kit is sold unpainted and painted. The last image in this review is the painted version. You can find the kit at https://galladoria.com/collections/accessories
Also, don't forget that Galladoria Games will also have a "For the Terrain" KS February 3rd!
Overview: The multi-piece set comes with a single-piece, double-sided, mission board, four road post signs, and fourteen small signs. Two of the signs are fence-like square posts, which can also be used for fences (make them from disposable chopsticks), and the other two signs are round posts with a posted piece of paper, and decorative skull. On one side of the mission board, you have the medieval-style haphazardly posted pieces of paper, suitable for quests, wanted posters, and local declaration. The other side has a very convenient blank spot that easily holds a printed sign, such as a modern-day Welcome sign for the town, or a post-apoc Welcome sign with the Welcome crossed out in bloody red blood. You can use this spot, of course, to stick your own paper signs. The small signs are suitable for the crude medieval or post-apocalyptic sign trope. You should be able to use the non-skull signs for modern-day rural use, such as a farm, by printing out and mounting a sign onto thin cardboard, then attaching it to the sign with poster putty, rubber cement, or other adhesive. The set, then, is extremely versatile for your roleplaying needs, and the mission board can be used as terrain in a miniature skirmish game.
Painting Guide: Like other terrain sets, this minature set was quite easy to paint, and well-suited for beginning painters. By painting the wooden parts with brown colored primers and brown washes, such as Army Painter's Soft Tone, you can get a head start in painting the miniatures. (I use brown colored primer far more than black, although black primer is still useful for painting the edges of miniature bases.) The stone was also primed with gray color primer, followed by grey Secret Weapon Miniatures Concrete wash. The recesses were then washed with darker Secret Weapons Miniatures Stone wash. The grass was painted in dark green Army Painter Angel Green, and light green Army Painter Goblin Green paint. The messages and skulls were painted with ochre Army Painter Skeleton Bone followed by brown Army Painter Soft Tone Ink. The edges of the wooden poles were lightly dry-brushed with ochre. The bases were painted in dark brown craft paint, dipped in sand, then dry-brushed with lighter brown. Dead static grass and small rock washed with brown Soft Tone Ink were added to the bases. The signs were affixed to the poles with poster putty, painted brown.
Conclusion: Beginning painters and adventurous dungeon masters will find the Galladoria Games "Mission Board and Sign Post Kit" to be an excellent accessory for their gaming needs. The miniature's ability to hold a printed sign is an added bonus for modern-day use, postapoc or otherwise.
