Painting – WWX Union Force Expansion One

So that’s me back to normal after Gen con and ready to get back to painting, for this one I’m combining two steps and I’d say that’s what I’ll do for all my other videos in the project, so this one will be the Light and Dark leather for the minis.

So I thought I’d give some video painting a go and see what kind of quality i can get and I’ve also tried a free video editor for my phone.

What do you think folks?

time to get back at it, I’ll be experimenting with some video content in this next set of updates but may go on hold with Gen con coming up soon.

time to finish up the project by adding the basing, I’ll be useing some basic sand, some grass tufts & I’ve found some really nice black stones with red flecks through them that i think will work as raw RJ10-27 so really happy with them.

Thanks everyone for following along and for all the recommendations.

So as I close in on the end of this project I’m starting to think what might be a cool adition to the force, currently there are four things that are catching my eye.

My first choice is Willa Shaw for two reasons, one she’s a really cool miniature, and two having a second Boss unit that i can also use as a face is a good way to look at adding more fire Power and Fortune to a force that runs a little light on that resource.

The second unit that i think might be a nice adaiton would be a unit of three Iron Horse Cavalry, again they are really cool minis and would add some serious firepower to my forces.

Third would be the Skirmishers and Riflemen box, sometimes you just can beat getting boots on the ground, they’ll offer a good mix Hands that i can use for objective games or do what i always do and run them into the nearest building to bunker down and become a pain for my opponent.

Ok ok… I know I wont be able to use it in my games till I have pretty much everything else I’ve shown here built, painted and based, but lets be honest…

It’s a friggin tank!

Right folks, time to add that one extra detail i had a feeling i was gonna need on this project and that’s to take all the colours I’ve used so far and give each mini a little love and bring back some of the more vibrant parts.

Time to tie it all together, I always aim for a tabletop standard of painting so normally this would be my final step in my painting, this time however i think I’ll do at least one more step but we’ll get to that later.

right time to be impatient and cheat with the drying time.

So I’ve decided to add a lighter colour to the tops of the sandbags,  I’m hoping this will give them more of a rough sack cloth look.
