These were, as with most Britannia Miniatures, straightforward to paint with lots of raised detail. I went with Iraqi sand for shorts and some shirts, with other shirts painted khaki or a mix of khaki and English uniform, which I also used for trousers.

Fun to paint these, lots of grizzled beards and interesting facial expressions. Not sure when I'll ever get to use them, maybe a game of Black Ops?
Thanks for looking.
Those are fantastic, Andy, you're knocking them out!
ReplyDeleteFunny you mentioned Black Ops, I'm working on a setup for that right now.

Thanks Jack,
DeleteGlad you like them. Yes, painting fills the days when I'm not working (lots of them as I'm furloughed at the moment). Black Ops is a good system. Might even have to dig out some commando types wielding daggers.
Cheers, Andy
Excellent!

DeleteI enjoyed painting these.
