About the Project
Quick little project of some 6mm Vanguard miniatures desert raiders
Related Genre: Science Fiction
This Project is Active
And we're almost done
So all the infantry is based. Just 3 support weapons to do . Quick photo. I’ll take better (I’m kidding myself ) later
Bases arrived and basing action shot
Bases arrived. I’ve always liked this style of base and their definitely not round. I took this photo whilst in the middle of basing…Its a basing action shot and not another piece of shoddy photography at all
So on to painting
So as with all 6mm I’ve kept the colours as simple as possible and wash
For these I’ve used the following
Tunic: Vallejo German Yellow
Trousers : A citadel green. Might be snot green but don’t quote me
Boots and packs: Vallejo German Camo Brown
Weapons :Vallejo Brown Sand
Flesh: Humbrol Matt Acrylic 5061
Bare metal: might be a citadel one or an Instar one. Can’t honestly remember but there basically all the same
Head Coverings :Vallejo Deck Tan
Wash: Army Painter soft tone
Any red bits: Instar Red
Some of the tunics have been done in Vallejo buff as I experimented
Now I’m just waiting for bases from Vanguard to arrive and some basing texture to come from Vallejo
While we wait heres some dodgy photos
The figures
These Vanguard miniatures are lovely sculpts with lots of nice simple detail.
First step like everything I paint was a Halfords grey spray followed by a Vallejo black shade wash to bring out the detail. The wash is a little dark sadly on these but shouldn’t really be a problem
