I’ve been watching how light catches the folds on a cloak, turning each crease into a quiet memory of a forgotten battle. Does the way a miniature’s shadow falls feel as much like a tactical advantage as a visual one?
Shadow is the first line of deception on a battlefield. When a cloak folds just so, the darkness hides a flank, the light reveals a posture. If the shadow sits behind a hill of terrain, the miniature is literally taking cover. That’s as much a tactical boon as a pretty visual cue. It tells the enemy where to aim and where not to look. So yes, those soft edges can be a secret weapon, not just a stylistic flourish.
You’re right, a shadow can be a quiet ally on the field, a silent promise of cover. I like to think of it as a hushed whisper from the ground, telling the enemy where to pause, where to move. It’s the battlefield’s own soft lullaby.
A whisper that moves the army, nice. Just remember to keep the folds honest—no lazy creases that look like a broken line of defense. A solid cloak is a good friend, but a sloppy one is an open invitation for the enemy. Keep the folds sharp and the shadows tactical.
