 Hey everyone today. We're talking with Martin about his firefight army. Do you want to talk us through what you've got mine? Oh, yes Well, there's only one choice for me really and that was to go straight in full ahead doing the more orders Because there were brand new and there are some older scups in there as well So I could intermix and mingle them in with with the brand new loveliness of the commandos so The aim was to try and build a thousand points as near as damn it to Because I want to go to a tournament in the start of July. That's the Elliott's that's in the northern Kings first firefight tournament So that was my goal for it really But I wanted to try and build everything if you've ever seen any of the Kings of War videos I tend to buy everything and paint everything and then just see where I look with points afterwards So I've kind of done that in the same vein but I started as always with ignoring the troops and going straight in for the fun stuff so I'll start with the hornet and I went in with the mule because obviously to get a Couple of lovely things on the my belt and make sure I was doing the right thing with the with the paint and then I sort of blocked in all the colors for my commandos and my And I painted my lovely ripper suits. They came out really nice And then over here is my work in progress section if you like where I've got a couple of weapons teams a couple more leaders some Hawks Stumbot and some skyscrapers and that's the new marauder mule, isn't it with the it is yes Yes, I've got the rocket launcher there Yeah, excellent And what was your favorite so far that you've you've painted the favorite one to paint so far was probably the hornet Because I wanted to paint a vehicle for quite a while But just never never really got round to it So I thought I would dig out the airbrush and give that all airbrush isn't it yeah So I've kind of done two different things for for painting With the vehicles and the more like armored suits like these guys I've gone with a almost like a British REF color scheme So just and I wanted I wanted as a scheme in general to be kind of desert warfare because I've not seen many about So this was All airbrushed as was the it was the mule as well. So and these were all painted by brush excellent So, I mean if you want me to go over what I use so from a from a paint point of view I use the Vallejo yellow ochre and To shade it I used one of the new speed paints from army painter and that was called Sand Golem I believe So yeah, I just did all the nice shading pre-shading And then I use oil paints to do the panel lining still need to do the panel lining on these as well and they used all kinds of Weathering effects on the wheels to make it look like they're churning it up a little bit on the on the mule And then from a kind of an infantry point of view I went more car key So I use some car key from Vallejo for that And I'm not I'm only halfway through those. They those have just been weathered. I need to bring up the highlights of those as well So a good cross-section of stuff. I've been using for the skin I just got some new pro acrylic paints and I want to give those a go So that was like a dark black green I believe and then highlighted up to the yellow green, which is quite a striking Bright green. So that's the tone. I've set for the skin tone on the army Excellent. Thank you very much, Martin. We look forward to seeing the rest of it all finished. Yeah, I can't wait until I'm done
