Painting tips

Prime light grey or tan. Combine linen off-whites and leather with bronze/gold metals; add bright shield patterns (spirals, lotus, bull, lion). For desert armies use sun-bleached cloth and dusty bases; for Aegean/Mycenaean lean into reds, blues and geometric motifs.

Raise your banners of the First Empires — from Sumerian war carts to Egyptian chariots and Greek phalanxes — and command the dawn of warfare on your tabletop.
