Circle Resumes - I'M BACK!!!

Out with the Trollbloods, in with more Circle (and Cygnar, Mercs, & Minons for that matter). Decided to start trading off stuff to focus on the armies I will play and enjoy the most; have a lot of great trades in the works as I look to unload all my Trolls. If anyone reading this wants to know what I have left, leave me a comment here.

That said, the method I developed for speed-painting my Trolls should help me finish off some Circle units. Much of my Circle (and Mercs) have been primed with Dupli-color Sandable Primer in Hot Rod Gray, a pretty dark grey. I've also picked up a can of Bright Touch Light Gray, that turned out to be sandable too. First, a test model...

1. Prime with Bright Touch Light Gray.
2. Fill in bare metal with VGC Cold Grey mixed with hint of VMC Silvergrey.
3. Wash with GW Badab Black wash.

We'll see how that works and from there, apply it to my Circle Wolves of Orboros units. Starting as so...

1. Prime with either Duplicolor Sandable Primer Hot Rod Black or Hot Rod Grey.
2. Fill in bare metal with either P3 Great Coat Grey or P3 Ironhull Grey.
3. Prime from top-down only with Bright Touch Light Grey primer.
4. Wash with GW Badab Black wash.
5. Detail metals, skins, and a deep ocean highlight, per normal circle painting patterns.

Should speed things up considerably. ^_^
