British 8th Army Konflikt '47

Next up for this project is settling on the color schemes to use for the main elements of force.

Sandy desert ground for the bases:

• Base coat of Tan Earth (Vallejo Model Color)
• Heavy dry brushing of Medium Fleshtone (Vallejo Model Color)
• For highlights a light dry brushing of Arid Earth (The Army Painter Warpaints)

For the armor (tanks, walkers, automata, etc) I used this guide for inspiration (https://www.goonhammer.com/how-to-paint-everything-ww2-north-africa-vehicles/):

• Base of Green Ochre (Vallejo Model Color)
• Heavily stipple on Dark Sand (Vallejo Model Color)
• For highlights a dry brushing of Pale Sand (Vallejo Model Color)
• For battle damaged areas where paint has been scratched off London Grey (Vallejo Model Color)

For the infantry I based my color choices on the recommendations in Warlord Game’s British 8th Army Paint set (https://us.warlordgames.com/products/8th-army-paint-set?variant=39441213980741)
