Finished Doors and Furniture
The original plan was to paint everything using contrast and speed paints, but I wasn’t happy with the results so I decided to use a combination of speed/contrast and traditional paints.
I found that some of speed/contrast paints produced a reasonable finish depending on the colour. So it was back to using traditional paints, as I prefer the final finish.
The first batch of miniatures from the core set I decided to paint were the doors, I did some test paints initially. The tests were under coated, one was given a wash of Nuln Oil, another I used a speed paint Gravelord Grey and the third test I painted light grey and then gave it a wash of Nuln Oil. I decided the third test was the way to go as I preferred the final result.
I painted the doors using Army Painted Hardened Leather and finished off with Agrax Wash from Games Workshop.
Once the doors were completed I decided to next start on the furniture, the aim was to give these a simple paint scheme, enough to look OK on the board. I managed to get these painted quite fast, which was the plan from the start. My aim was to blitz through everything in a month, that was being a but ambitious.
