Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

This is a New California Republic force from Fallout: Wasteland Warfare. In case you're unfamliar, this is a skirmish level game based off the Fallout computer games by Bethesda. I purchased these miniatures within the last few months and decided to finally get around to painting them. I tried a combination of regular painting in layers with the new slapchop method that the kids are into these days. I say new, but slapchop has been around for a while. Basically you have a dark base, dry brush a lighter color over the parts that stick out, and then put on a transluscent layer which automatically applies dark and highlighted areas in one go. It's not likely to win me any contests, but when you want to paint a lot of miniatures in a short period of time, it's good enough for table top standard.

I tired some a new product for the base made by Vallejo called Thick Mud. This is European mud. I really like it. They're not lying when they say it's thick. It'd be a bit pricy to use for a whole lot of miniatures, but for a few it's not so bad.
