Welcome back for the second Insider focused on the hobby aspects of The Undercity .
Home
In article one, I went over how to shock-harden the plastic used for the board game
Forums figures in order to get a more rigid mini to work on. In this article, I will take you
through the process I used to speed-paint my Undercity miniatures.

After the primer dried, I used my airbrush to apply a layer of Bootstrap Leather, followed
by a very light coat of Hammerfall Khaki.

Paint the skin with Beast Hide.

Basecoat the trousers with Hammerfall Khaki.

If you’re painting a blue thug, basecoat the cloak with Cygnar Blue Highlight.

For a red thug, use Khador Red Base.

Shade the cloth on blue thugs with Blue Ink.

For the red thugs, use a 2:1 mixture of Red Ink and Armor Wash to shade the cloak.

Basecoat all metals with Cold Steel.

Make a wash using a 1:1:2 mixture of Battlefield Brown, Armor Wash, and water. Apply
this liberally over the entire model.

Go ahead and base your models, and you are done! Because I wanted to be able to use
my Undercity miniatures in the Iron Kingdoms roleplaying game as well, I decided on a
neutral basing scheme of sand with a Battlefield Brown basecoat, followed by
drybrushing with Hammerfall Khaki. Once I have sealed the miniatures, I’ll apply tufts of
static grass (as seen below on my Unleashed miniatures).

That’s it, simple and quick. I haven’t finished all of the figures in the box just yet, but
I’m getting close. Once you have your set painted up, stop by the forums to show it off!

Be sure to come back next week for the final article in the series: gender-swapped
heroes.
