8th Army Indian Infantry
Pace of progress...sloooooow, but steady (plus sneakpeak)
So I just finished my second squad of eight men for my force accordingly. As always with my armies I tend to do slight adjustments and experimenting with the set colors a little. This time I went to go a little lighter overall on the figures. Mainly with the webbing and backpacks mixing in more of AP Stone Golem into the basic Khaki. Also, I highlighted the uniform a tad bit more than I did on the prevoius models. That was mandatory, because I watered down my wash a bit too much and I feared I wouldn’t have enough contrast if I just let the VMC Iraqi Sand as it was (could have done another washing on the minis, but didn’t want to go through all the tidying up again). Anyhow, here you’ll see the full squad…
….oh yeah, and now a look ahead. Next up, I will build my Bren Carrier from the new top notch Carrier Patrol set that Warlord brought out. Other than my trucks (plain sand(ish) paintjob) I will try painting these up in the iconic Caunter camo scheme. This will be fun…and a little nerve wrecking maybe, we’ll see.
I don’t own an airbrush so will have to do this with some good ol’ brush work and we’ll see how it turns out. As I wasn’t sure about the “right” colors for this special scheme (1000 and more references on the interwebs) I ordered the AK Caunter Camo Paint set yesterday, which will hopefully do the trick….stay tuned more to come.
