Painting tips

Prime in neutral tones (black, grey, or khaki) for realistic coverage. Use muted earthy palettes for uniforms, weather your metals and vehicles with mud and dust effects, and add contrasting insignia and regimental markings for character. For colonial troops, vary skin tones and equipment to reflect diverse units.
