Paintin' the Town (insert colour)
Broadcast posted a topic in News & Rumours ,
Here's a quick step by step on how I painted the awesome new Wild West Exodus terrain!
To kick off, I undercoated the model black. No photo here (who needs a photo of a black building, after all).
STEP ONE
Build up 3D effects with grey.
I use an airbrush but you can get very similar effects using a spray can. If you're using a brush, get a big ol' one inch round and stipple on the paint in thin layers.
STEP TWO
To increase the 3D effects, once again, I go in with white.
STEP THREE
Glaze the entire model with a Sepia Wash (approximately 7 parts water to 1 part paint).
I repeat this three times for a deep colour shift. I am still using the airbrush here but, if you do not have access to one, you can purchase weathering sprays which achieve a similar effect or go in with that big ol' brush - just don't let the glaze pool up.
STEP 4
Grab a decent sized brush and pick out individual planks with a selection of different brown washes.
For this model, I used a red-brown, yellow-brown, dark brown and black brown. I tend to make my own washes from P3 paint but there are loads of great alternatives out there. Once again, don't let the wash pool up.
STEP 5
Pick out the metallic areas. Take your time as it's very difficult to clean off slips. All metallic areas were painted in P3 Pig Iron.
The Brass areas were painted in P3 Brass Balls.
YOU'RE ALL FINISHED
These should look great on the table top for now!
I'll be looking at how to take things to the next level with weathering and detailing next time.
Until then - happy paintin'!
You can find all of the Red Oak terrain on our online store here, or from your regular FLGS or online stockist!

As you say, you can play with one set of Action cards and one set of Adventure cards. With the action cards you can split them randomly between the two players or you could remove the 5 point card and one of the 2 point cards and give each player identical half decks. I think the easiest way to do it would be for one player to have even numbers and the other odd numbers (going by the card number at the top left). The same with the Adventure cards; either split at random or divided into two more or less identical half decks. It also occurs to me you could tailor the Adventure deck by selecting certain cards for one side, to reflect the nature of the force or the scenario - though I'm not sure how that would work out! As Stuart says you can do what you like when you are playing a casual game with friends. The Red Oak box has everything you need to do that (except the fortune chips!). Although like you I have bought a second set of decks - it saves sorting out the cards! -

Err... yes. In fact, it would be extremely hard to win. If you want to share an Action and Adventure deck as a taster for the game (after all that's what the set is designed for) just shuffle both decks and evenly split them. It isn't right for competitive play, but for a knock around with a small force between friends its more than sufficient. -

missing this part would explain why in my first game I always drew lower than my opponent! lol -

No problem, I guessed that's what you meant. The Action cards are split into two piles so they fit neatly in the box (the Adventure cards are twice their size). Combine them and you'll find that they give you the 48 cards you need for the Action deck. You can even count the Action Point values on them to be sure (we explain that too in the rulebook). From page 17 of your rulebook - top left corner: -

They aren't sold with two initiative decks. There's no such thing as an initiative deck. Do you mean the Action deck? -
By Whitefox91 · Posted
Thanks again for the fast replies! you guys are great! It does beg the question though, Is there a reason that based on this, why adventure decks are sold with 2 initiative decks? This results in players having 2x as many initiative decks as needed unless im missing something? -
By Warcradle Stuart · Posted
Each player should have their own Action and Adventure decks. There's only one rulebook in the box too... -
By Whitefox91 · Posted
I'll just keep adding questions here instead of starting a new thread unless someone thinks i should, but Adventure Deck, most vids ive watched it appeared that both players had their own adventure deck to draw guts/glory cards from, but is this the case (since starter sets come with 1 adventure deck and 2 initiative decks) I bough a second deck thinking I need 2 but if I dont I would like to find out while I have time to return it and maybe pick up another box of models. Thanks for the quick replies!
