British 8th Army Infantry - Tabletop Painting Tutorial

Join Paul as he takes us through every step to get your British 8th Army infantry "Tabletop Ready" on on the battlefield!
This is a really helpful video for those looking at getting started with painting Bolt Action models.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

"A different brush! Yaaay!" Very interesting to see someone else's approach to these guys. Quite a fan of that Necrotic Flesh for the webbing!

[@warhq1944]

I know lol. I do have more than two brushes!!!

[@warlordgames]

Just goes to show you don't need a massive array of paint brushes to get a really good quality model on the tabletop! Also the necrotic flesh works wonders!

[@Oluabayo]

I must try the Army Painter shade! Nice video.

[@warlordgames]

It's really good as you can see in the video and available through our webstore.

[@HotshotH]

Really liked this. Would like to see more Bolt Action with Army Painter, but historically accurate please so I can copy!

[@warhq1944]

Watch for future content. We have been listening.

[@InsektenProfi]

Very special thanks for that. Next Africa Korps pls. Keep going on this quality, I love it.

[@warhq1944]

We will as AK to our list. Anything in particular with AK or painting video?

[@BDCSam]

@@warhq1944 yes. please show color choices specifically for the AK uniform color variations. Most reference photos on line are in black and white. love this video on the 8th for the same reason.

[@15mmGustavus]

You guys should do how to's on your plastic bolt action figures and maybe some of your black powder range. This a cool tutorial more of this please

[@warhq1944]

Anything in particular with Black Powder you'd like to see?

[@15mmGustavus]

@@warhq1944 hmm like a spotlight on your Waterloo sets and your Prussian cavalry

[@warhq1944]

Anthony Read I’ll pass that on but I’m sure we could do something along those lines.

[@firedrap]

Still waiting for the full plastic italian range..

[@warhq1944]

Me to. They are coming but you still need to be a little patient yet.

[@HooDie-Trench-GoTh2022]

Mussolini's musketeers would be a nice addition with the alpini division too.

[@warhq1944]

Victorian Ghost I want Alpini.

[@thepiratepenguin4465]

Personally, I would have used the Skeleton rattle can, which would prime the model & painted the uniform at the same time. As for the webbing, I feel that Hemp rope or Combat fatigues would have been a better choice. Overall the models looks great, good job.

[@tomatomm2479]

i usualy don't order from Warlord directly but to local shop. Last month i PRE ORDERD it as soon as i saw the post on facebook! so nice and unique ! thanks for those mins ! (a cheer up from Paris )

[@TheHalude]

good man paul, had a blast game at the first V2 tournament at Donnington with my US vrs his Brits coming on from all table edges, top geezer!!

[@warhq1944]

You are too kind. We all know I am BA Ambassador because I was too competitive and cried when I lost!

[@jonathanbaez1003]

This is great to see! Supporting the community with painting tutorials is an excellent way to keep gamers engaged and having their forces historically accurate color wise is important. I also think it’s important because Games Workshop has been doing this for a long time and it will help warlord games compete and I agree with others and putting up painting tutorials of other ranges that you offer like black powder and Beyond the gates of Antares these are also a couple of games that need more representation in my area of Atlanta Georgia

[@paintinghistory1475]

Maybe how to paint them using Vallejo?

[@mattcappelli5822]

Nice to see! Thanks! Would love to see you guys do an infantry unit from all the basic army plastic boxed sets, especially a Soviet or German infantryman.

[@warhq1944]

Do you mean construction as well as paint or just paint Matt?

[@mattcappelli5822]

Bolt Action Ambassador more so painting, but if you would build a full sprue of the bloody soviets, I sure wouldn’t mind! The figures are great, but my slow-witted self can’t seem to match up the arms with some of the weapons! But I’d love to see what color schemes you guys use for a Soviet, German, American, etc.

[@EyeKracker83]

alright alright! I'll get the 8th army stuff I bourght at the end of summer built and painted!

[@warhq1944]

Evil plan works lol.

[@edevans5991]

Were going to need an update on this. haha.

[@christophernelson4624]

Great Job Paul. Really comes alive

[@warhq1944]

Thank you Christopher. What would you like to see us tackle in the future?

[@christophernelson4624]

@@warhq1944 How about painting the North Korean Army.

[@waynehaywood4904]

great video. yes please to next step video

[@warhq1944]

Well as you asked so nicely I’ll go away and edit it in the next couple of weeks. What are you painting just now?

[@StefanRLion]

fantastic job.

[@warhq1944]

Thanks. Want to see how we take this wee model up a step in detail?

[@hammerhead1122]

Fantastic!

[@warhq1944]

To kind Sir. What sort of videos would you like to see more of here?

[@miked6335]

That's a really neat paint job! What size is that figure and how does it compare to Airfix 1/72's? With retirement on the horizon, I'm going to give painting up some Airfix soldiers a try. I settled on Airfix just for the childhood memories. No real plans for the finished guys at the moment. I'll see how they turn out.

[@gertjanvanhoutte9326]

Been looking for a good tutorial on 8th army, finally found one. Is the next part still coming? Cheers

[@adenmelton8264]

Could u do one on the German Afrika Korps

[@warhq1944]

I will add it list 😉 thank you for the feedback.

What tufts you're using for desert figures, didn't catch the name.

[@bonysminiatures3123]

nice job paul )))

[@warhq1944]

Pleased you liked it. How could I make them better do you think?

[@inhumanbookworm]

Sweet comment. Show us more.

[@thatbuzzkill3897]

Please do more

[@warhq1944]

I’ll speak nicely to social media department at Warlord 😁 Thank you for the encouragement 😉

[@thatbuzzkill3897]

Bolt Action Ambassador no problem I want to get into bolt action but I don’t know how to paint miniatures

[@warhq1944]

Remember you can get into Bolt Action without painting! Painting just adds to the experience ;)

[@thatbuzzkill3897]

Bolt Action Ambassador true true true

[@joshhales4718]

Thatbuzzkill I got into wargaming for the first time this summer, and I’d put the decision off for ages because I was afraid of painting, but as soon as you start you just learn quickly, so just go for it! I’ve had a blast.

[@stephenbriddon2796]

Can you list the paints?

[@warhq1944]

I’ll do it in the morning 😁

[@davidwasilewski]

Such a pity Warlord have sold out their 8th army paint sets

[@longstreet0163]

Gun? This soldier is armed with a rifle, not a gun. A gun is an artillery piece of some kind.
