A pleasant surprise a receiving a free copy of Armies & Legions & Hordes from Wargames Illustrated, a rather nice coffee table painting book.
And I made a start on a new platoon for Chain of Command... so far, cleaned up some Crusader, Black Tree and warlord soviets. They were first undercoated with my usual spray cheapo black primer, then airbrushed Tamiya khaki, a top light dusting of Tamiya buff and it gives them some depth, Tamiya dark green for helmets and I'm wondering what colour to hit them with next.
