On most of them, it is. I did smooth out some coffee staining here and there with some Foundry British Red B, though. The Blood Angels Red is one of the better CPs IMO.

Really liking the red, is that just straight GW Contrast paints? I have Government forces to do for 1745, when the FoW KS delivers, and that might save me a lot of time.

Ta.. I am very tempted to give it a try over a grey base.

I've tried the Grey Seer and the Bone colors, sometimes using a zenithal overspray over a darker primer in the undercuts. If you're conscientious about it, it can be a good way to pre-shade the CP with some nice effects. Generally, I prefer the Bone colored spray, as it's easy to tweak the colors later with thin coats of a complementary glaze or the addition of a little black in the darker areas. Much like watercolor painting, and you can do some nice subtle stuff with it if you want to spend a little more time on certain uniform items.

Thanks for that. I've been using an airbrush to do bulk ww2 uniforms, most recently with Soviets, and been pleased with the results.

Thanks guys. They were supposed to be quick and dirty, but I really stalled on them and lost enthusiasm. Now I shall have to decide the next project. I'm thinking of doing Italians from 100 BCE and 42 CE. For Infamy and for CoC. I have the figures, just a case of prioritising.

Most of the way done with a group of Legere - need a break from white piping before I finish up!
And some DPs (no, not that kind of DP) in progress. These have me progressing at a snail's pace but will be so worth the atmospherics they'll add to the tabletop. Will be doing some French as well in the near future.

Lovely work on that Legere. Very neat and tidy, and he flesh has come up a treat.
