| The legion on deployment |

| 1st squad prepares to fire |
Methods
- For the legion painting wise the base method is unchanged.
- The figures were primed grey then given a top down spray off white.
- Their base coat was ivory applied with an Airbrush.
- Their sash was painted blue.
- Boots, belts and cap peak was painted with a 50:50 mix of dark grey and black
- Rifle were painted camo brown and the barrels painted gun metal grey.
- The skin was painted a sunny skin tone.

The figures are very white and for a change I opted to experiment with different washes to see what the outcome looked like.
Washed out legionnaires
Group A is a control with no wash
Group B is washed with my trusted thinned down, watered down smoke wash
Group C is washed with the Vallejo light grey wash
Group D is washed with the Vallejo black wash.
The washes add a bit to the figures but no one wash stood out as a must have.

I find with washes on lighter colours that it can be hard to get the right balance, to much wash & you can lose the colour & not enough & it does little or nothing.
Something I did find if you want to try it is to apply a couple of water downed dark washes
I agree. the challenge is i want to minimise the number of steps to paint a mini as much as possible since i want to paint up a lot of miniatures :)
