So, I’m cracking on with these tallarns, remember there’s 76 of these guys, and I’m painting them assembly line style, so painting all of one colour before moving onto the next colour.

So far my process has been:
• Undercoat with Vallejo German Dark Yellow Surface primer

• Heavy wash with Vallejo Sepia wash

• Paint the Shemaghs (model color azure, game color ghost grey & thinner mix)
• Paint the Green areas with Vallejo reflective green.

Next up is the basic flesh tone. I’m just doing them all the same (as I’m looking for speed here), so I’ve done everything with Vallejo Game color Dwarf Flesh which is one of my standard flesh tone base coats.

Next up will be the Brown stage. I’m using Vallejo Flat Brown for this,

Here I’m going to be painting the Boots, Straps, Shoulder pads & pouches.

More pictures to follow once I’ve completed this stage!
