Painting British Modern Infantry - Progress Report



Usual readers of this blog know that I have recently embarked in a new painting project ahead opf the publication of the incoming TooFatLardies modern warfare rules "Fighting Season"·. Once I overcame the initial panic, I found a reasonable palette of colours to paint the new British Army MPT ammo and now I can show the first finished minis.

(radioman, light mortar, senior leader, assisstant senior leader)
 



Photo 2: Infantry Section

The Photo 1 is The Assault Group modern British range while the minis in photo 2 are from Empress. Both brands are fully compatibale although there are some differences in the uniform (specially helmets).

I have another batch to paint on my table including a medic, a mine detector operator, a LMG and a couple of Minimis to provide more beef to the sections.

  2. Very nice painting work. With the new MULTICAM this is increasingly difficult to paint these uniforms!

  3. Super work, Benito. And I agree.... very tricky, and completely excusable initial panic. But you're well past that, and these look great!
