How to Paint British Colonial Infantry from Warlord Games

[@robin7623]

I have painted for a model soldier outlet long time ago so I know like you the work that goes into this especially for me at one time 8 hours a day so I note beautiful brushwork when I see it , however one item is slightly incorrect is the trousers , they are far to light a Blue. British infantry trousers with Red welts were ( as they still are now in best dress ) a Dark Navy Blue colour . Most often seen today worn by the Guards Regiments outside Buck Palace . However your work is still outstanding and I thank you for sharing

[@PanzerSchule]

Very true about the trousers. I applied a fair measure of artistic licence. I paint for how things look on the table top and I preferred the brighter blue. My choice of Blues across various subjects can be a bit wild!

Brilliant thank you for sharing this, and a great way of presenting

[@PanzerSchule]

@@owenmartin8323 glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

Great stage by stage video . The tutorial is effective . The base and the 3 fellows look awesome as well !

[@PanzerSchule]

Thank you! I will keep working on my 28mm techniques and hope to post some more guides soon.

[@TinjaniRayaick]

Amazing could sit and watch this all day 👌🏻

[@PanzerSchule]

Thanks for watching!

Nice paint job. Very clean lines. The bases bring the painting to 150%.

[@PanzerSchule]

Thanks. I wasn't sure about the base. I wanted something that spoke of the plains of Africa with red earth and tall grass. Hopefully that's what it looks like!

[@stompingfreak8980]

Really nice work.

[@PanzerSchule]

@@stompingfreak8980 thanks!

[@shauntaylor9251]

You make painting the white strapping so easy !

[@PanzerSchule]

Just practice I suppose. Perhaps that and I'm more used to 15mm scale so this figure looks huge to me! Thanks for watching.

Excellent guide. I (an Englishman) watched whilst painting 28mm Jacobites. Oh the irony :)

[@PanzerSchule]

I'm painting a box of these soon for a client so will be checking the guide myself soon! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@MilitaryHistoryWithWill71]

Brilliant, well done 👏

[@PanzerSchule]

Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@wendellfugate4225]

Looks as though you've been practicing. Well done.

[@PanzerSchule]

Thanks. I do get a lot of practice!

[@Larry1983_]

Great tutorial, really good.

[@PanzerSchule]

Cheers Laurence. Hope to catch up soon.

[@WarGamingNewbHistorical]

Wow, those look fantastic! How did it feel painting 28mm over 15mm?

[@PanzerSchule]

28mm figures look a bit daunting to me though that's what I painted for ever in years gone by. I'm doing a large Crusades project for a mate though so I'm getting used to it again.

[@andrewshannon9649]

Hi, very nice indeed. Did you do a zulu how paint please?

[@PanzerSchule]

Thanks Andrew. I've not recorded a Zulu guide and it would appear to be an obvious choice now. If I get my hands on some Zulus, I'll be sure to upload a guide. Thanks for watching.

[@darioswatchclub8]

SEXY! Great Paintjob!

[@PanzerSchule]

Thanks!

What size and make of paint brushes do you use?

[@PanzerSchule]

I tend to use whatever I have to hand. I'm always buying a range of different brands and types. Thought I don't like buying brushes unless I can see the hairs in place. Nothing worse than buying one online and it's already splayed. If I was to recommend anything it would be the Army Painter Insane Detail brush. That is one I will always go back to.

[@pauljohnson5160]

Thanks for that buddy@@PanzerSchule

[@PanzerSchule]

Cheers, happy painting.@@pauljohnson5160

[@hollywoodwerewolf]

Is the German Camo Black Brown base paint sprayed or painted on?

[@PanzerSchule]

In this case I painted it on. If I have large projects to complete I sometimes spray it on with my airbrush. Either way it's from the same bottle and not a spray can. Hope that helps.

[@LittleLances]

What white did you use to highlight the straps and webbing?

[@PanzerSchule]

I used a simple, pure white. Not an off white or ivory/deck tan type colour. The pure white is great for a highlight as the previous layers are not so bright. You can get a nice clear edge/fold from this. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

[@LittleLances]

@@PanzerSchule thank you. Thes are possibly the best Zulu British I've seen in 28mm. Superb work.

[@PanzerSchule]

@@LittleLances thank you, you are too kind. I hope to keep these 28mm tutorials coming.
