This week’s goal was to complete the Forsaken Castle Cainhurst expansion for Bloodborne: The Board Game, a task I managed to finish between Monday the 8th and Thursday the 11th. Before diving into focused painting, I did a preliminary pass with an airbrush to establish a base of color across the entire project. I began with a layer of Nighthaunt Gloom from Games Workshop, which provided a moody, spectral foundation. To add depth and variety, I followed with subtle applications of muted grey, violet, and magenta inks, which brought shadows and undertones to the miniatures. I also experimented with Tamiya Clear Red, applying it to the Bloodlicker’s swollen belly. The effect was shockingly visceral, but I felt it was too overpowering to use on the other figures.
Painting the Spirits and Lost Children of Antiquity
After the base airbrush work, I turned my attention to the Spirits and the Lost Children of Antiquity, particularly the harpy miniatures. I refined the Tamiya Clear Red by mixing it with Rhinox Hide, creating a caked, dried-blood effect that I used on the Spirits’ necks. This grim detail added an unsettling realism to the figures. I found Space Wolves Grey contrast paint especially effective over the Nighthaunt Gloom base and purple inks, providing a subtle but striking highlight that blended well with the spectral tones. I enhanced the details with several dry brush passes of Vallejo Silver Grey, leaving only minor facial details untouched, giving the harpies a more textured and dimensional look.
Working Through the Enemy Groups
The remaining enemy groups progressed quickly, though I was not entirely satisfied with the Knights. Despite repeated attempts, I could not achieve the armored effect I had envisioned. While this was initially frustrating, I reminded myself of the larger perspective: the vast queue of unpainted miniatures awaiting attention. Sometimes rushing through painting leads to small missteps, but acknowledging that these imperfections are part of a broader journey helped me push forward without becoming discouraged.
Adding Some Whimsy with Martyr Logarius
Seeking a break from the tension of realism, I decided to take a more playful approach with Martyr Logarius. Ignoring reference material and conventional taste, I painted the Undead King in a flamboyant, gaudy palette. Using Kimera Kolors paints, I incorporated vibrant shades of purple, orange, and yellow, creating a figure that diverged from Bloodborne’s traditional aesthetic but brought personal enjoyment and lightheartedness to the project. This diversion reminded me that painting miniatures is not only about accuracy but also about creative satisfaction and emotional connection.
Finishing the Queen on Her Throne
The final touch was painting the Queen seated on her subsiding throne. This miniature required patience and subtle layering to capture both the regal presence and the decaying ambiance of the scene. With careful attention to shading and color balance, the Queen became a striking centerpiece, unifying the expansion’s dark and intricate aesthetic.
Completing the Forsaken Castle Cainhurst Expansion
With the Queen finished, the Forsaken Castle Cainhurst expansion was complete, ready for gameplay whenever the opportunity arises. This marked the completion of five large box expansions, leaving five smaller boxes remaining to finish the entire All-in pledge. Reflecting on the process, I realized that undertaking a full miniatures pledge is a massive commitment, and while it is immensely satisfying to see the completed figures, I will likely approach future all-in projects with greater caution, considering both time and energy investment.
The project offered a blend of technical challenge, creative experimentation, and personal enjoyment. Each miniature, from the harpies to the gaudy Martyr Logarius, contributed to a diverse and vivid portrayal of the Forsaken Castle. In balancing careful technique with moments of whimsy, the painting process became a journey that celebrated both precision and imagination, culminating in an expansion that is visually striking and ready for the table.
Completing the All-in Pledge
With the larger and smaller expansions now painted, I moved toward completing the entirety of the All-in pledge for Bloodborne: The Board Game. This final stretch involved tackling remaining miniatures that varied in complexity and size, some of which presented unique sculptural challenges. My approach combined careful planning, efficient workflow, and creative experimentation to maintain momentum while ensuring each miniature received attention appropriate to its level of detail. Preparing a workspace with organized paints, brushes, and reference materials allowed me to systematically approach the miniatures, avoiding the feeling of overwhelm that can accompany such a large collection.
Establishing Foundations
For all remaining miniatures, the initial step was applying a base layer using an airbrush or large brush depending on size. I favored muted tones such as grey, violet, and desaturated green, which created a shadowed underlayer suitable for the macabre atmosphere of Bloodborne. These foundations helped subsequent layers of contrast paints and inks adhere evenly while providing subtle tonal variations. Applying thin layers prevented obscuring sculptural details, ensuring that textures like folds in cloth, ridges on armor, and fine facial features remained visible. This stage, though relatively straightforward, was critical for building depth and cohesion across the miniatures.
Bringing Out Details
After base layers, I focused on detailing the figures. Small, intricate miniatures such as spectral enemies, corrupted knights, or twisted cultists demanded careful attention. I employed selective washes, layering, and dry brushing to highlight raised areas while deepening shadows in recesses. For faces, I used minimal paint to suggest features without masking sculpted expression, allowing each miniature to convey personality even at small scale. Metallic paints were sparingly applied to weapons and armor, giving a muted sheen that avoided overpowering the darker tones of the underlying layers. These deliberate techniques emphasized both realism and atmosphere, reinforcing the haunted, gothic aesthetic.
Experimentation with Color
Completing the pledge allowed room for creative experimentation with color schemes. For several miniatures, I used unconventional pigments or blended colors in unusual combinations. Vibrant purples, oranges, and yellows found their way into robes and accessories, while subtle greens and blues hinted at decay and corruption. The interplay of bright accents against muted bases created visual tension, reflecting the unsettling world of Bloodborne. I also revisited Tamiya Clear Red mixed with darker pigments to produce varied blood effects, ranging from fresh and glossy to caked and desiccated. Each experiment aimed to enhance the individuality of the miniature while ensuring it integrated with the broader aesthetic.
Painting Key Figures
Several miniatures represented central figures in the game, such as the Undead King, haunted queens, and spectral lords. These required extra time and attention. I focused on layering washes, glazes, and highlights to bring out regal or menacing qualities while preserving the dark and decayed ambiance. For robes, I applied multiple thin layers of contrasting shades to suggest depth, shadow, and worn fabric. For armor, I combined muted metallic paints with selective washes to create texture and wear without making the figures look overly polished. This careful approach allowed key characters to stand out while remaining consistent with the surrounding miniatures.
Managing Smaller Details
The smaller miniatures presented their own challenges. Tiny enemies, familiars, and minor bosses required meticulous brushwork to enhance fine details like feathers, scales, and jewelry. I employed fine-tipped brushes for precision, avoiding heavy paint layers that could obscure sculpted textures. For spectral effects, subtle gradients of translucent purples and blues were applied over the base colors, giving a ghostly glow. Even small features, such as eyes or symbols on clothing, were carefully suggested with minimal paint, maintaining clarity while enhancing character. These small efforts compounded to produce a cohesive and immersive visual experience across all miniatures.
Balancing Speed and Precision
Completing the All-in pledge required balancing speed with precision. Some figures could be painted quickly using broad strokes and selective highlights, while others demanded slow, methodical layering. I often alternated between detailed miniatures and simpler figures to maintain momentum and prevent fatigue. This approach ensured steady progress without sacrificing the quality necessary for the final collection. Accepting minor imperfections in less prominent figures helped maintain focus on the overall impact rather than achieving unattainable perfection.
Integrating Special Effects
Special effects played a critical role in unifying the miniatures. Blood, spectral glows, magical auras, and decay were selectively applied across the collection. For instance, lightly caked blood added realism to enemy figures, while subtle spectral washes on translucent areas enhanced ghostly appearances. Applying these effects required patience, as layering had to be carefully controlled to avoid overwhelming the miniature. Properly applied, the effects amplified the narrative quality of each figure, reinforcing their presence in the haunted world of Bloodborne.
Reviewing and Refining
As painting progressed, I periodically reviewed the miniatures as a group to ensure visual harmony. Minor corrections were made, including touch-ups on shadows, highlights, or edges where paint had bled or faded. This step was essential for maintaining consistency across the collection, as mismatched tones could disrupt the cohesive aesthetic. Reviewing the miniatures also provided opportunities to adjust colors for contrast and balance, ensuring that key figures retained prominence while smaller enemies supported the overall scene without distraction.
