Continuing my painting of armor for the Bolt Action game, I finished up the first batch. They came out a bit darker than I expected, which is fine, I think they look pretty good – I just have imagined the final result to be brighter. I did do some basic dry brushing at the end with the original desert sand color, but it only barely adjusted the tone.
Overall, I am quite happy with my non-professional painting level – I think they will work well on the battlefield. I will post the Armored Cars and the Bren carrier over the next couple of days.
Next on my list is to tackle the new Legion units (Empire Riot Control and Rebel Sleeper Cell). I also noticed that my Empire army is about 95%+ fully painted, with only two units uncompleted. I think I will put some focus into that to wrap them up and be able to do a showcase on the Imperial might.
I also have about 8 units of infantry, both German and British to paint up. Fortunately, I have plenty of free time coming up, with no one to play the games themselves, so I should be able to get a lot of painting done in the next few weeks.
