With Warlord’s Rapid Deployment Paint System, it has never been easier to get your miniatures tabletop ready. We show you how with British Infantry.
British Tommy
All the paints used were taken from the Rapid Deployment Fast Paint System Core and British Army Paint Sets.
Stage 1: Priming
The miniature was primed with the Leather Brown Colour Primer Spray. This choice of colour serves as an ideal basecoat for some portions of the miniature and saves doing it by hand later.
Stage 2: Basecoating
The following basecoats were then carefully applied to each of the following areas:
- Skin: Caucasian Skin
- Shirt & Trousers: British Battledress
- Belt & Boots: Pitch Black
- Gun Stock & Grip: Wood Brown
- Gun Metal and Buckles: Dark Gunmetal
- Straps, Holster, Helmet & Pouches: Khaki Webbing
- Grenade: Piat Green
Stage 3: Shading
Using a large brush, Strong Tone Quickshade was liberally applied to the model, ensuring it ran into the recesses. Once complete, the same brush was immediately wiped clean, before being used to remove all the excess shade, particularly on the raised flatter areas of the miniature.
Set the miniature aside to dry after this for a minimum of 24 hours.
Stage 4: Finishing Touches
Having left the miniature to dry for over 24 hours you can move onto the next stage, varnishing & basing.
The model was varnished with Anti Shine Matt-Varnish and the base was finished with sand and static grass. This was supplemented with tufts, for that little extra flair.
The model is taken from the British Infantry plastic boxed set:
And There You Have It!
Utilising this system will allow you to prep whole units or even entire armies for the table in no time at all. The quickshade allows you to get remarkable results for the relatively small amount of time invested. Ideal for getting your models to the tabletop and scratching that gaming itch!
The Rapid Deployment System
As you’ve seen, the Rapid Deployment System enables you to get your troops to the battlefield extremely quickly, and with little effort.
Designed for use on plastic, vehicle resin, metal and the new Warlord Resin figures. Each paint is of high quality, full of colour and ready for use straight out of the bottle. The core paint set gives you a broad range of colours to kick-start your painting.
