Painting – WWX Union Force Expansion One

Last thing to do today is get some of the single details on Hopkins. The wooden stock will need a touch of gold when its dry and I’m debating if i should add a lighter colour to the sandbags.

time to get some of the detail work done with the Union, Im adding gold the the higher edges and the weapons of the miniatures, I’ll be revisiting them later to add some dark tin.

I’ve pushed on this evening, taking care of the bedrolls painting them with a light grey, adding a darker brown again for the straps and doing a little experiment with the scar tissue for Grant with some Tan.

I always find that if you want you minis to look good a simple trick is to change up the colours of the same type of material in this case leather, light for the boots and gloves, then a darker shade for the main backpacks and pouches then perhaps an even darker shade for the strapping.

final entry for the day taking a little Khaki for the boots and gloves on the minis, also making a final pass over them to clean up any points where i’ve overstepped.

I always alike using Pale Flesh from Vallejo, i always find that it darkens and then takes highlights really well, when it comes to the was step I’ll be using Soft tone from The army painter but lots to do before we get there.

I’ve Primed the set in Ultramarine blue from The Army Painter to get a nice deep shade of blue to work up from.

First things first then, time to start picking out the block colours and i think I’ll start with a nice Chainmail Silver from vallejo .

The first results are looking promising
