You can add purples, reds or blues to the base colour to get deep, rich colours. It takes longer than a wash, but you get great contrast.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681799401614263953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-51885374146008173722016-01-25T11:47:34.021-06:002016-01-25T11:47:34.021-06:00I too am a fan of CoBs on the table, and this is a...I too am a fan of CoBs on the table, and this is a very nice lot you got...I like the fellow waving with his hat, a local landlord perhaps? ;)david bromleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373599516429004062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-5234637354092406172016-01-25T09:08:47.908-06:002016-01-25T09:08:47.908-06:00I'll echo everyone else's comments that no...I'll echo everyone else's comments that non-coms make great additions to any army.

I go with flesh base coat, terra cotta or iron oxide wash followed by umber wash and then highlight in flesh again.
