“Now, nothing can stop us!” |
Due to the miniature having already been popped off of its famous 'clicky base', the terrorist was quickly given a couple of coats of "Vallejo" Heavy Grey and washed with "Citadel" Biel-Tan Green. Disconcertingly, the sculpting on this figure was incredibly soft, predominantly due to the thick pre-paint I was working over-the-top of, so I settled upon a simple dry-brush of (more) "Vallejo" Heavy Grey so as to do the folds in the villain's costume some justice.

Like so many wargamers currently, I have been paying quite a bit of attention to “Warlord Games” and the imminent release of their Epic Battles: Waterloo line in 15mm plastic. This really is an historical period I thoroughly enjoy, yet have repeatedly failed to successfully paint over the years despite many attempts across different scales. Hopefully that won’t be the case this time round.

Luckily, I still have a little time left before my pre-order arrives and I’m somewhat swamped with British Infantrymen, so I thought I’d use the opportunity to identify and practice some ‘quick win’ approaches using a few of my previously-purchased spare American Civil War sprues. In the past, I’ve painted these figures over a “Citadel” Abaddon Black undercoat, so thought I’d start by seeing if it was less time consuming to use a lighter prime, in this case “Vallejo” Sombre Grey, and then block in the base colours before applying any black separation to the figures’ different areas/details…
