Painting irregular armies such as the Celtic Warbands, in 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 Vallejo 894 Russian Green, Tops
- Group 2 gets Vallejo 957 Flat Red, Tops
- Group 3 gets Vallejo 925 Blue, Tops
- Group 4 gets Vallejo 844 Deep Sky Blue, Tops
- Group 5 gets Vallejo 921 English Uniform, Tops
Next, choose another 5 colours and do exactly the for trousers or just mix the order up.
- Group 1 gets Vallejo 921 English Uniform, Trousers
- Group 2 gets Vallejo 844 Deep Sky Blue, Trousers
- Group 3 gets Vallejo 925 Blue, Trousers
- Group 4 gets Vallejo 957 Flat Red, Trousers
