Getting Sci-Fi Troops Table Ready Fast With The Army Painter
Do you have a big backlog you want to get started on, or do you need to get to the three-color standard fast? Let me show you how!
In continuation of my blue army that I painted tanks for in my last post, I carried on with my three-color paint scheme on these great 28mm miniatures from Wargames Atlantic.
This time around, I talk about painting miniatures quickly for my Sci-Fi Human Defense Force Army. So far, I have been using these miniatures for the game Grimdark Future by OnePage Rules. This army is akin to the Imperial Guard Army (aka the Astra Militarum Army) in Warhammer 40K.
The Miniatures I Used for This Project
In this post, the figures I focus on are the Death Fields Cannon Fodder miniatures by Wargames Atlantic. To paint them, I used paints exclusively by The Army Painter. Let’s look at the boxes quickly before I jump right in and show you how these miniatures looked after I got some paint on the figures.
The parts within the Cannon Fodder and Cannon Fodder 2 miniatures are interchangeable. For more variety, I intermixed some of the parts on these minis from the two boxes. If you are interested in the Cannon Fodder Minis, you can check their price on Amazon, go directly to Wargames Atlantic or check your favorite retailer.
Now, let me tell you how I painted these miniatures up for my Imperial Guard / Human Defense Force Army.
The Finished Models
Using paints by the army painter, I quickly painted up these models. It is the same color scheme as I used for my tanks, and I have a related post on my site where I talk more about how I painted them and show more pictures.
Now, on to the finished models!
These are some of my specialist troops. I have a Commander, a Veteran Squad and two three-man teams of plasma and melta like guns.

The Melta like guns; these soldiers turned out really well with little work!

The Commander…
After these specialist-type miniatures, I painted up 20 standard troops, too.
This one isn’t a finished shot, but you can see my Cannon Fodder standard troops as a work in progress here.
Overall, I am very pleased with how these miniatures turned out. The models themselves were very fast to paint, and I followed the basic process of Prime, base coat, and shade. For some of the models, I stopped after shading, and I added some highlights, too.

Wrapping it up…
Thank you for checking out my most recent painted miniatures by Wargames Atlantic. These Cannon Fodder Miniatures have a bit of a unique feel to them for 28mm gaming. The Army Painter helped me make these figures look really great quickly with their paints.
