I've been collecting single star wars miniatures to add to my fill ins between builds. A recent purchase was a battle droid (28mm) figure. I saw a vid on You Tube where a guy was painting an army of these up and was using a quick method to get them done as they have a very simple paint scheme. he was using Citadel Contrast paint to do them with and it looked so quick and easy that I got hold of a few bottles to give them a try. I simply base coated the figure in white and when dry applied a coat of Skeleton Horde over the armour. This paint works like a base coat and shade in one go and they come in a variety of colours. The battle droids have a bone coloured armour so this paint colours the armour and flows into the recesses etc to give the shading effect. This one was so quick so I can see why he used it. When dry and I'm not working I will give the model a light dry brushing to bring up the flatter parts of the armour. This is where I'm currently up to.
