Guide to Painting the Red Guard (From Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion)
Time for something a little different! I know this is a Gloomhaven strategy and tactics blog, but due to lockdown and the pandemic it's difficult to get Gloomhaven games going. So instead we will do a painting guide for the Jaws of the Lion - Red Guard :) Painted minis improve the Gloomhaven experience by adding color to the grey blobs representing your adventuring mercenary. It's a worthy undertaking to splash that color on and make the experience awesome for the entire group. The Red Guard in all it's glory @jackogoeswacko4smackos
