SHOWCASE: Bigred’s DUST Warfare Axis
I finished! – Behold 300+ points of DUST Warfare Axis (a full tournament list) is finally done. Lets take a look!
I wanted this army to be a showcase of how to paint a “fast and dirty” Axis scheme that incorporates the default primer color the miniatures come in. The advantages of this style is that you basically take all the labor of assembly and priming out of the hobby process. You also get the secondary benefit of in those cases where you just have to crack open a new mini that you just bought, and throw it onto the tabletop, it doesn’t look horribly out of place before you rush it home and paint up to your standards.
The entire force was painted using no more than a dozen paints, using several German WW2 colors from the Flames of War range, and used limited shading pens and washes here and there. Basically everything was done for speed. The entire army took 2-3 weeks of leisurely-paced work.
