In the third step, I applied decals to the models. Unfortunately, I can’t remember anymore which one I used. But they are from Little Big Men. I use their stuff in most cases because they are rather easy to apply.

I used Army Painter Quickshade’s soft tone to shade the army. It is messy, but it works. Just keep in mind to use some matt varnish in a later step to fight the glossy look.

After sanding the base using watered-down PVA and grit, I painted everything in Vallejo Tan Earth (874). If you want to achieve more durability, I strongly recommend adding another coat of watered-down PVA to the grit before applying the base color.
Anyway, after base coating the grit, I dry brushed the whole piece using Vallejo Iraqui Sand (819), followed by a lighter drybrush of Vallejo Pale Sand (837). I finished the bases by adding some grass tufts. Nothing fancy, but it looks nice and adds to the impression of an army marching through an arid environment.

In the last step, I sealed the modes using Army Painter Matt varnish anti-shine. If you don’t wash your miniatures, you will have no problems with glossy figures. Nonetheless, I strongly recommend using some varnish to protect your miniatures.
