Batch Painting

THE SHORT VERSION

Nick Bayton applies each painting stage to a whole small group before moving on, demonstrating blue drybrushed Ultramarines, layered Salamanders and edge-highlighted Raven Guard. Spray basecoats and washes reduce repetition, while choosing a manageable batch avoids being discouraged by unfinished armies. The text presents the appropriate group size as personal, from a squad to a larger points block, and recommends combining washes with the earlier armour methods.
