A Legion Rises
Finishing the Legionnaires
At last it was time for the stage I had been looking forward to since starting this regiment, the Verdigris!
For this I used Modelmates Moss effect. These weathering fluids don’t set in the manner of paint and the advantage of this is that they can be reactivated by applying water. This allows you to adjust their placement if you aren’t happy with the initial result.
I soon realised that smaller areas of verdigris worked better as large patches didn’t fit the scale of the models. Once I had completed the patina, I gave the entire unit a coat of Vallejo Matt Varnish to fix the weathering fluid in place. For this I used an old airbrush, so as not to disturb the positioning of the Modelmates. With that done, my first regiment was finally completed! In fact this is the first fantasy regiment I have ever completed!
I hadn’t settled on a basing scheme yet. As these models would likely end up mounted in conquest movement trays in the future, I knew the basing scheme was an important decision. I could go with Desert, Mudflats or a Snowy Tundra. I was happy to put off until I had a few more regiments completed. For now I would content myself with brown bases!
