This project must've sat on my workbench for months, less than half finished. I couldn't bring myself to painting all the Aux! In the meantime I received Army Painter Speedpaints and tried them on 80+ Zombicide: Black Plague miniatures and it was a revelation! I finished those miiatures inside 2 weeks. My drive to batch paint was reborn. But would they work on 15mm historicals? I decided to have a go on the Illyrians because they were going nowhere fast. Here is the end result direct from the foothills of Illyria: The minis are mostly Forged in Battle with some Xyston slingers. The skin and metals are standard acrylics with Speedpaints for the colours. Shield decals from LBMS (Forged in Battle Macedonian). I'll write something more about Speedpaints shortly but first, a battle report... Cheers Jim PS Having been locked in with COVID recently, I've got two more armies and one new morphed army to show soon.

Lovely! Better than my results with speed paints please let us know how you did it. I’m assuming a white undercoat?

A great looking army Jim. The Speedpaints certainly come up trumps.
Cheers,

Hi Ken, I go through my approach with Speedpaints on this link linkWhite Vallejo airbrush primer, acrylic skin, metallics and white, Speed paint the rest. LBMS decals wherever possible. Cheers Jim
