Wargames Atlantic Foot Knights - Baron's War Miniatures [How I Paint Things]
Keeping it nice and simple today!
Apologies for having forgotten the size comparison a few folks asked for. I'll grab some photos later, but for now it's worth knowing they're 'true' 28mm miniatures, so to put it bluntly they don't really scale in as replacements for Bretonnians if that's what you're thinking... or you could play another game with them? 😅

One-Coat Paints: Speedpainting WWII French Infantry [How I Paint Things]

Early WWII French uniforms have a reputation for being a little tricky to paint. Not any more! With surprisingly few paints on the table you'll be able to knock out a French army fast; this took me about the third of the time it'd ordinarily take me to paint a French infantryman. Does it look like it? Well, get up close and squint... but paint an army like this and they'll look just fine on the...

    Question, I've been mixing marine juice for a while now following your recepie, and I keep running into a problem where the mixture pools weirdly in some areas, almost like it's gone hydrophobic. Do you think there's something I'm doing wrong with the mix, or could it be the paints I apply it over, I've tried it over both acrylics and contrast paints, and I'm getting a lil worried I might be ruining my paint works.

    Great technique! I usually apply the wash first and then dry brush with a mix of the same base color + ivory (1:1 mix). Is that ok as well, or do you recommend to dry brush before the wash?

    • @SonicSledgehammerStudio
      @SonicSledgehammerStudio 2 дня назад

      Personally I like using the wash over a drybrush, since it'll tie the colours together and smooth out some of the chalkiness. It's not a necessity, but try it some time and see how you like the look.

    Great video! Still amazed by the power of marine juice! However, I prefer Army Painter as a company, so i keep to their products, which makes finding a replacement recipe tricky.

      Never seen the point of them. With a bit of practice you can drybrush without leaving chalky residue anyway, and between a wash and a varnish you'll almost never see what the texture palette is supposed to solve. It seems like someone started selling them and suddenly they were *everywhere* as the must-have, but... eh? Paper towel still works.
