From AnthonyO - More Airborne Droppin in (85 Points)

This week I continue my push towards a game ready US Airborne force for Bolt Action using the Artizan range. 12 Infantry and 3 crew for a light howitzer makes for a total of 85 points.

I am using a method for these which I have been told is an old school way of painting without washes. I have only been painting for around 5 years now so so I don't know what old school really means but when I want to paint well instead of fast I use a layering method. So for these uniforms I start with green brown then mix green brown and desert yellow followed by just desert yellow. I then go straight Iraqi sand and finally bone white. Last step is a sepia ink for black lining.

The light howitzer is from Warlord Games and I have substituted the Warlord Crew with Artizan ones for consistency. 

So that's it for me, a small week but these guys take a bit longer than others due to the method I am using however I should have some more diversity next week!

Alan and Paul: I was looking forward to seeing more of these paras this week. I would be proud of producing figures after 20 years of painting, let alone five! You have really nailed the use of progressively lighter shades for highlighting, and these wouldn't look out of place gracing the front cover of a magazine like Wargames Soldiers and Strategy. Well done sir!
