Painting tips

Prime black or grey. For a classic crusader look, use white/cream surcoats with red crosses, weathered steel, and leather straps. For a grimdark palette, shift to bone, oxblood, charcoal and rusted metals; add soot and mud pigments to hems and shields. Freehand scripture, fleur-de-lis, or relic markings to underline the French crusading theme.

Rally the faithful — muster your French Crusade warband and take the field with relics high and resolve unbroken.
