With Warlord’s Rapid Deployment Paint System, it has never been easier to get your miniatures tabletop ready. We show you how with US Infantry.

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:

 

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.

After this stage, the miniature should be left to dry for a minimum of 24 hours.

 

Stage 4: Finishing Touches

 

Having left the miniature to dry for over 24 hours, use Anti Shine Matt-Varnish as before and base to match the rest of your army. We’ve used sand and static grass, supplemented with tufts, for that little extra flair.
