All, thanks for comments.
To DeanMoto :
There is far more to do with those minis that I did (Very, very far more).
At a time I was not doing fast painting and was from the old oil school.
Next one is 10+ years old 54mm french grenadier (with a broken bayonet), but well, here it is…

Now the interesting stuff is the full picture, taken just for the purpose of this reply :

So, fast painting or not ? In the same distance, what looks best at the scale of efficiency ratio ?
When wanting to build full units, you cannot manage spending several weeks a single miniature. Now, I must admit, doing heavy work on those Victrix things really is temptation (at least because they deserve it).
When I see Victrix stuff, I think that I will probably go out of fast painting for some selected miniatures at a time, but for now the fast side of the force is there, I have units to build first.
About the tartans, yes I used tutorials.
I asked the question on this forum and get several usefull answers, best of which (IMHO) was this link :

I tried it, but on 28mm, it was not doing well. (lines are too deep). But probably is it the issue of fast painting… (I agree there…)
What I used after several attempts was :
Make a blue background (GW Regal blue)
Make highlights on raised kilt details(GW enchanted blue)
Drawing crosses of green (VJ Russian green)
On each green cross intersection, make a dot of bright green (VJ "middle green ?" (891)".
Then I draw a yellow line in each green line (both horizontal and vertical).
Last I draw a line of red (GW blood red) close to any vertical yellow line.
Just for what its worth,
Cheers,
Bruno.
