Bonaccia (Freebooter's Fate)

My Brotherhood crew's ranks grow again - finally! I have finished Bonaccia some 18 months or so on from my last Freebooter's Fate mini (Trucco).

I started Bonaccia a long time ago, some time in 2015, possibly even earlier. But I just kept putting her to one side, and not finishing her. Recently I was determined to rectify that, and so she is now finished, even if not my favourite paint-job in the crew (I think partly due to the colour scheme I selected). That said, being 'done' is the most important thing, so another mini is chalked off.

As another Specialist, the nearest comparison I have so far to Bonaccia is Apagado. Bonaccia costs 5 doubloons more, for which Apagado has a slightly stronger left-hand attack and slightly more vitality, while Bonaccia gains Blade Mistress, adding +1 Attack which is very good! I am sure Rob won't be looking forward to facing her with his Pirates! Then again he will probably shoot her as much as he can after recent experience.

Bonaccia takes my crew to a total of 495 doubloons. I can take one more Specialist and still make a game-legal crew (the Brotherhood may take up to two Specialist per Deckhand, and I have two of the latter), so I will need to have a think about what I paint next for the game. I am tempted to paint another Brotherhood Specialist, but I could opt for my first Mercenary instead.

I hope Bonaccia gets a run out on the gaming table soon, especially as I have recently acquired a cool-looking gaming mat for our games.

    Freebooter's Fate!?! I really don't need another range of minis to be tempted with thanks PulpCitizen... and your top brushwork has made this mini look very nice indeed :-)

      Thanks Blaxkleric. :)

      This has been a very slow-burn project so it has actually been 18 months or so since my last FF mini was painted. :)

    One of my favourite factions for the game.
    Though I usually play Goblin Pirates.
    As for the miniature, while you did an excellent job painting her, I think she needs some more colour aside from the dagger. Perhaps some blue on her Mask or something like that. I know she is an assassin and all, but colourwise she looks a bit dull if you don't miss me saying so.

      Hi Wouter, thanks for that. :)

      The palette I have chosen is by and large muted to fit how I see them, so was a conscious decision. I have the masks 'white' to tie them together.

      If I hypothetically tackled her again, I would probably paint the leggings a dark blue or deep red.

      I am pretty pleased with how she came out (...eventually). :)

    excellent work on the dark colours, always the hardest to highlight without going chalky and she looks ace.

    Lovely lovely work on what's suppose to be a dull colour. You sir, make blackish hues look like a freaking rainbow. :) Really good work!!!

      Thanks very much, but I think you are too generous in your words. :)
