Tallarn Desert Raiders
Starting to come together!
Things are starting to come together with this little lot!
I’ve now completed the Flat brown stage, which is all the pouches, belts, straps, boots & shoulder pads on the mini.
Now I’m working on the metal parts, which are the emblems, parts of the knife & the barrel and sights for the weapon.
This completes the base coating stage for these guys.
Now I’ve done this I can move onto the washes.
I’ve already done a heavy wash on the main part, which in hindsight, I shouldn’t have done until this point. However, I did it, so I now have to do more sepia wash in other places, which is a bit inefficient, but never mind!
The washes I’m planning are going to be:
Metallic parts – black
Green parts (weapon, trousers) – dark green wash
Face – Flesh wash
Shemagh – grey/blue wash
brown bits – sepia wash
This stage shouldn’t take too long to do as the washing can be done a bit faster than regular painting. With this stage complete the minis will really start to look like they’re nearing completion!
After the washes will come the highlights. this will be the most time consuming part, but hopefully the most rewarding.
So far I think I’ve spent about 16 hours on this project so far. I’m looking at another 32 or so more 🙂
