Painting Germanic Warbands

Here is my guide for Painting Germanic Warbands, during Caesar's Gallic War uniforms using Vallejo acrylic colors. I have also done a painting guide for Caesarian Roman Legions and Gallic & Celtic Warbands.

Germanic Warband

Vallejo Colours

Vallejo 997 Silver, Chainmail, Sword and Spear

Vallejo 821 German Cam. Beige WWII, Javelin Shaft

Painting irregular armies such as the Gallic & Celtic Warband, an assortment of clothing colours looks best. To do this job quickly I sort out the figures into groups prior to painting. And then paint the groups in order see below.

Group 1 gets green tops
Group 2 gets red tops
Group 3 gets blue tops
Group 4 gets brown tops
Group 5 gets grey tops

Next, choose another 5 colours and do exactly the for trousers
