Having trouble viewing the flipbook magazine? View and download it instead! I would like to immediately point you in the direction of page 28 where you will find an article we are particularly proud of; ‘Introduction to Airbrushing’ provides the advice you’ll need to start effectively airbrushing your wargames figures. My wargaming mentor, Duncan Macfarlane, used to say that painting figures ready for the tabletop is the biggest bottleneck in our hobby. Of course, if putting paint to plastic or metal is the favourite part of your hobby, then it’s not a bottleneck at all; however, if you want to get your toys on the table as soon as possible, then you will no doubt be on the lookout for ways to do that swiftly and easily. Several advances have been made in easing that painting bottleneck over recent years, e.g. dipping, Contrast paints, and pre-painted models, but we feel the airbrush is still an underused tool when it comes to getting your miniatures battle-ready in double-quick time, and we’re not just talking about model vehicles either; infantry and cavalry figure painting time can be cut down dramatically by the application of an airbrush. ‘Introduction to Airbrushing’ is just one of our Wargames Workbench theme articles for this month, along with several painting and modelling guides covering a wide range of subjects, including Samurai, faces, Persians, and Rorke’s Drift.
