Everyone remembers their first Conquest!
The mighty, mighty Militia!
Now I have heard that the medium included with the Army Painter speed paints can be used to add to normal war paints to create your own speed paints. I’ve been wanting to test this for a while so I decided I needed a low level unit to try it on so enter the militia!
These guys are absolute chaff on the field so even if it doesn’t work they aren’t usually around long enough for people to see them!
So to test it out I chose hemp rope and did a mix of 3 medium to 1 paint and slapped it on.
Low and behold it seems to have worked!
Now they are block coloured I’d like to try to muddy them down a bit as they look way to bright and poppy for what should be lowly militia so I’m going to see if they hold up to a trade mark Brainmatter Beige drybrush and wash.
Well, of course I would!
Beige rage!
Washes applied, 2-1 dark tone and medium for armour and 2-1 soft tone and medium for the cloth
Quick dip in the basing tub and they are done. Overall quite pleased with how they turned out. I look for to some more experimenting!
