Listen Up!

OK Marines, take a knee, the Master Chef here.

High Command have noticed that there are far too many unpainted figures out there and something needs to be done about it. I presume you are painting RAFM High Tech infantry and you want to paint them as Spartans. What else do you want to paint them as?

I’ll talk slow, so try to keep up.

One!
Buy some artist mountain card, dark brown shade or whatever
fits the terrain you will fight on most of the time.

Two!

Glue your figures onto the base. Remember, don’t cluster and make it easy

for the alien scum to take all the guys with one frag grenade!

Three!

Let the glue DRY! This means YOU!

Four!
Get your green ink/wash. We use GW Thraka Green but there you go.
Apply the wash liberally over the figures.

Five!
Do it again to cover anything you missed at stage 4.
If you need a 3rd coat, you are off this course, you dumb grunt!

Six!
Let the ink dry!

No one won a war by handling wet figures.

Seven!
Paint the visor – yes paint it GOLD!
What other colour do you paint visors?
YOU DON’T NEED TO ANSWER THAT!

Eight!

Apply unit patches; a simple red dot on the left arm will do.

No patches, no crossed paintbrush insignia ribbon.

Nine!

Paint the weapons and kit black, steel or whatever.
No pretty colours! Repeat

NO PRETTY COLOURS!!

Ten!
Use brown ink to dye the edge of the card and add flock etc to taste.

Eleven!
Find some alien scum and KILL THEM!
