Some Indian Infantrymen finished

Tomorrow evening we'll have another game of 20mm Bolt Action. The game will be set in North Africa around 1942 and the DAK will have to fight against some of Monty's Desert Rats. While a fellow provided most of the miniatures I have to bring in some makeshifts to complete the British.

Therefore I painted some Indish infantry rather quickly. Those boys will man a 6pdr Anti-Tank Gun which will teach the Germans what fear is:

I really like those guys since it was my very first attempt to paint dark skin.

The miniatures are from good old Britannia and I ordered them years ago. I used the following colours to paint the boys:

• Vallejo Model Colour (VMC) "Dark Sand" for the uniforms
• VMC "Leather Brown" for the skin
• VMC "Leather Brown" + Citadel "Elf Flesh" for the skin highlights (two steps)
• VMC "British Uniform" for the socks
• VMC "German Camouflage Beige" for the webbing
• Vallejo Game Colour "Black" for the shoes

Between the basic coats of paint and the highlights I used my good old friend Armypainter Quickshade (Dark Tone) once more.

Well then... I'm prepared for tomorrow evening and will keep my fingers crossed that the luck of battle will be with us rather than with the Germans...
