Now Painting... Yellow Platoon

I've eventually sorted my first (Red) platoon, and the pictures will be going up in bulk shortly, however in the mean time i've started work on my second platoon of troops.

I've got almost every model needed for the platoon itself, so they just need painting. Simple right? So begins another long run of painting guardsmen...

Here we have all 5 squads from Yellow platoon. The first ones who are really needed are squad 1 and 2 as they make up the required part of second platoon for a legal army. They've already got their chimeras painted (currently subbing into Red platoon) so they should really catch up!

Above all twenty guardsmen are base coated in (what was Emerald Green) and then the boots were painted black. The next steps all involved the black parts of the clothing: Tunic piping, webbing straps, shoulder pads, webbing pouches and accessories then finally the cuffs or rolled sleeves.

Next step, skin! Once all the arms and faces are painted the rest of the work is more interesting and detail oriented.

Next up are the weapons blocking out and detailing.
