Ok well actually kicking off with a box of Scots Covenanters who will be pulling double duty and standing in as Scottish mercenaries fighting for the Swedes. Recipe I’m using for ‘hodden grey’ is a base coat of Vallejo chocolate brown, first highlight 2 parts Chocolate Brown to 1 part Vallejo Sky Grey, final highlight 1 part Chocolate Brown to 2 parts Vallejo Sky Grey. If that sounds like too much hassle just coat in Army Painter castle Grey and give it a wash with AP Strong Tone Ink and I think you’d land in about the same place… Bonnets were Vallejo Game Air Magic Blue toned down with a mix of the hodden grey final coat until some of the magic was gone…
