Tallarn Desert Raiders
All based up and nowhere to go
Phew! That's a fair few guys based! Over the course of this weekend I’ve based up all my Tallarns.
Everything still has a LOT of work left to do on it.
I need to:
• highlight the flesh (then paint the eyes)
• highlight the Shemagh’s.
• final highlight on the smocks
• highlight the green areas (trousers, weapons, pouches)
• do some camo splodges (then hightlight) on the smocks
This will take ages, and these guys are nowhere near finished.
But right now, I could put these on a tabletop and they’d look alright!
Painting 70+ guys in a single batch is always going to be a chore, but I’ve quite enjoyed these guys so far and I’m fairly happy with the way they’ve turned out.
There’s a few bits of missed flash here and there, and I’m going for speed paining rather than golden demon winning, but I’m still trying to take my time.
The next stage is going to be the final highlight on the smocks as I think this will be the biggest difference.
So far the smocks have been primed, washed then highlighted.
This will be my final highlight, and will be with vallejo “buff”.
a close up on a couple of the guys as they are now. 
I'm really liking how my bases have turned out!
another close upJust to reitterate what I did on the bases.
• I used my rubble mix (gw course sand, basecrafts gravel, cork chips) and PVA’d this to the base.
• painted with US Field Drab
• sepia wash
• drybrush with US field drab
• light drybrush with iraqi sand
• superglued x1 army painter wasteland tuft
• superglued x1 mininatur long tufts
Thats it for now! Another update once I’ve completed another round.
That’s it for now.
I hop
