It was time to paint the little beasties. I used Vallejo Dark Sand as a basecoat. Then I added large blobs of Bronze Green, and finally painted on thin white stripes separating the colours.

I painted the tracks and machineguns black, the wooden tool-handles and boxes Citadel Bestial Brown, Boltgun Metal for tools, and the packs were painted Vallejo Brown Violet.

I used Vallejo English Uniform for the crewmen's clothes (quite appropriate), Flat Black for the berets, and GW Bronzed Flesh for faces and hands.
