Civs 10mm napoleonic foray

So a brief how to on my painting appraoch, fortunatley nice and simple:

• Base coat in black (very important for shading)

• Paint the jackets and shako plume a dark red, careful not to paint in the recesses, at this scale they should just be left black. On these models dont worry about the mid section as this will be shading and a white strap. I used GW khorne red and highglighted up with evil sunz red.

• Next paint the flesh, i painted it all a dark brown to start with and then painted with vellejo dwarf flesh the nose, brow, cheeks and chin (effectively formaing a T with the nose and brows and a U with the cheeks and chin). I also painted the hands.

• Then with elf flesh (Vallejo) highlight the nose cheeks and upper part of the hands.

• Next i used a colour of choice denoting the regimanet on the cuffs, in this case the welsh regiment got a green colour.

• The rifle was painted with cathlan brown and boltgun metal was used to paint the gun barrel and the bayonet.

• The badge on the shako was painted with GW retributor armour

• Krieg Khaki was then used to paint the belt across the chest, the trousers and the top of the plume. This was followed up by a vallejo ivory paint highlight.

• Lastly the water bottle was painted with Sky Blue vallejo (any light blue will make it pop)

And thats the lot, it seem like a lot of steps but when your doing about 100 minis in about 2 hours it doesnt feel like it.
