The First Croftyran squad

 I really like the look of the Croftyran Miniatures and these were the first ones I started to paint from the 'Clash of Rhyfles' starter set.


So after building my first 10 Quar squad nd undercoating with Halfords Matt Black Aerosol, I sat down to figure out my colours for them.

Firstly I painted my base colours (Vallejo), 

>Coat: Heavy Blue

>Coat Cuffs/LMG ammo bag: Heavy Ochre

>Trousers/Bedroll: Off White

>Belts/Boots/Wood/Base: Heavy Sienna

>Metal: Black

I have decided on seven skin colours for the Quar, the base colour for each is.

>Red: Heavy Red

>Blue: Heavy Blue

>Purple: Heavy Violet

>Green: Heavy Green

>Yellow: Heavy Ochre

>Orange: Heavy Orange

>Pink: Heavy Orange

Once dry, I gave the whole model a wash of Agrax Earthshade.


Next comes the proper painting!

To finish the Model I painted it as follows,

>Trousers/Bedroll: Off White

>Coat: Magic Blue

>Coat Cuffs: Green Ochre

>Belts/Helmet strap/Backpack: Black Red

>Boots: Mahogany Brown

>Wood: German Camo Pale Brown

>Metal: Gunmetal

>Belt Buckle/Buttons/Helmet/Torque: Natural Steel

>LMG Ammo Bag: Khaki

And for the Base I painted it German Camo Medium Brown and picked out rocks and stones in Basalt Grey.

Last thing to paint is the skin, so depending on the base colour, I painted with.

>Red: Red

>Blue: Andrea Blue

>Purple: Blue Violet

>Green: Scorpy Green

>Yellow: Flat Yellow

>Orange: German Orange

>Pink: Basic Skin Tone

For the Speckles I'm using pretty much random colours but keeping to reds and browns for the Base, while adding whatever colour looks good for the spot.

Once dry I varnished in Plastikote Clear Laquer, I find this protects miniatures really well and after apply a coat of Army Painter Anti Shine.

Once all dry, add static grass.
