Within minutes of deciding on my grand if somewhat madcap scheme I had Popped down to Mall Order (another distinct advantage) and purchased myself one of every Halling ever made by GW. There are some ol Fallings that do not even appear ia the catalogues but they are all infantry models. ‘What about cavalry? War Machines? Fiers et? sand most important some rules wit a sense of ‘humour? With a theme of food and erming, ‘ideas abounded. Sheep, rams, goats and swans ‘were all modelled in green stulfand cast ia, 18 [RIV rubber using all the spare white metal had collected over the last 18 months or 0, Halflings on foot were converted into Haig capable of riding ruminants. Old fashioned farming harvesters were serach built using & mixture of plasicard and bits from the bits box. Catalogues were perused, Mail Order was ‘ded time and again, Abit about painting Feing neat is important. To get the paint where you wan it to go always use the correct ‘zed brush which should be in good condition. Tb Ret a point oa your brush roll between your lips. You can restore brushes by ‘washing them well with hair conditioner. GW brushes are great fr ll bur the finest detals (yes ete). [use artists brushes for, sizes 000, (00000 ete. Preparation and assembly “This is very important. Wash your figures Using soapy water and 3 tooth brush (00t Our ‘muta's or wives as they tend to get ups) This removes the tle used in the casting process aswell a any axcie bul up in Forage. Remove al excess metal or plastic Carefully. Stick pat together with 2 all Smount of superglue, less works beter than ‘more. Ifyou have lange pars to stick togetber, Sd a small amount of epoy purty (green Scuff) a8 well 5 superglue, i holds together uicker and is more permanent. Make sure that no putty obscures any deal or sticks to the surface ofthe model. Position and Lighting Paintin a position in which you are comfortable. I paint with my hands resting on ‘ay knees so that both the brush and the ‘model are steady Paintin good light, 2 desk lamp with 2 daylight bub is a great help. Don't pat in direct sunlight, It hurts the eyes and dries the paint too fast. Don't paint when tired (or drunk! - you tend to dip the brush in the wrong pot), just do an hour at time Preparation and assembly Use black or white undercoat. Ifyou bave los fof metal or dark colours, choose black. Ifyou ‘want bright colours like flesh, red, yellow then ‘hose white. Ifyou have a mix, spray white fad se-undercoat the areas to be blac by ‘carefully painting with diluted black paint Paint “Try to sick toa few colours. I nearly always& zea ree tse just two baste colours for otheslornaments etc. plus skin colour and brow or leather. Choose your colours turf, some clash like pink and yellow, furple and green, purple and and yellow and Shue and yellow. Choose one or maybe two fright colours only. I always water paint dows, ly the new pots which seem to dry out [Ester and the paint seems thicker. For speed, 1 sways use a warh on top ofthe base coat. ‘Tis ean then be highlighted with the base oat colour and one shade lighter. Shading can be done by starting with the darkest shade and fing thin layers of increasingly lighter ‘hades on top. Dry Brushes and washes “This an art unto itself. If badly done it just Jools mes. To do it properly paint the area ‘ith the darkest shade add a tay amount of Paint o the dry brush and wipe off the excess “There should be the faintest smear of paint left Then lightly brush dhe area ual the highlights are brought out. Use increasingly lighter shades for a more pronounced effect. ‘Armour painted black then dry brushed silver Tooks grea. Use washes o paint: armour - paint with 2 rmeulie colour or dilute black wash. Wood — paint brown, wash with dtu black wash, Bone ~ pint ear, wash with very dilute brown wash, Leather ~ pain leather wash with dite brown wash, Use dilute brown wash on ‘yellow otherwise use the same colour of wash, Basing and Varnishing ‘A good looking base can really make a ference to your model and wil probably determine whether you win the Golden Demon or aot. A base way i © paint the base {green and cover with Hock, glued on by Wwatered down PVA. You could use a mixure of Focks, with sand, Or tiny cork pieces. For varnishing use matt spray forthe best effect. 1. {s very important to shake the can very well and apply several thin coats than a thik one ‘which i able to run And remember ~ Practice!t “The dice was cast (usually coming up 21" of double '6 for me).
