Thanks for the 15mm video there Torros, looks indeed very good for doing WW1 to Moderns very effectively (or armies where they have a “standard” across the entire army without too much detail (like napolenonics).

All that’s needed now is to work out the paint recipes for certain armies (like the greenish brown for Russian uniforms and your away). HOWEVER it does seem that you’d need to be very exact painting over the undercoat to avoid patches of the undercoat showing through (I usually paint over a black undercoat as although it dulls the colours down it’s a lot more forgiving if you miss a spot).

But for doing masses of infantry (not that most FoW/TY players paint masses of infantry :D), this looks a good way of getting them on the table to an acceptable standard very quickly 🙂
