I will break this down into my process and show the results, in future projects I will go into more details.

This is essentially the Army Painter method with a few tweaks

Firstly I used

  1. Badgers Stynylrez Grey Primer through an airbrush, you can prime a model in just a few minutes and one coat I have always found to be fine.
  2. Using a combination of Army Painter and Citadel paints get the base colours down, now these models are not covered in detail so I was able to block out colours in about 20-30 minutes per model.
  3. Using Amry Painter strong tone mixed with some white spirit to thin it down I cover the model and then draw away any excess until I get to a level I am happy with. This is probably 3-5 minutes effort per model.
  4. Now you need to leave them for a minimum 24 hours but ideally 36+
  5. Ok now is a great time to do bases as you go, it keeps the process moving and does not waste time.
  6. My bases are simple, I found a company they do mix bag of rough terrain so simply cover the base in either PVA or Superglue ( I used superglue for faster results)
  7. Cover the base in these materials leave for a minute or two and tap of the excess.
  8. Once the model is dry (no longer tacky from the dip) do probably an hour per model of highlights and details, like eyes, edge highlights, dry brushing on fur etc.
  9. When happy you now simply need to use a matt varnish to finish, this not only protects the model but also takes all the shine away. I used the Army Painter Matt varnish through an old cheap airbrush.
  10. I finished all the models by doing a brown rim around the bases because I felt it had a better fit than the standard black.

Each model I reckon took between 1.5 – 2 hours (not including the drying time)

10 days after coming back from UKGE I had a good collection ready for the tabletop.
