Up the Nile! First Beja Unit Complete! Yay!

Excellent painting!  These look even better in mass.   I took the easy route and used the squares the Perry's came with. Your basing certainly gives it a more untrained warrior look.

That's great to hear as they were painted 'at pace' and it was the overall impact that I was looking for 

I'm currently working my way through the next speed painted batch- 24 to go before the second unit is fit for the table top. I've gone for a slightly redder skin tone on the second batch but will be returning to the darker skin tones of the first for the third! Hope that makes sense?

A little variation looks more realistic to me.

That's what I'm hoping for. I've got 12 in the 'red-ish' skin tone finished from a while ago and they look fine next to the others.

Fingers crossed

Sorry if this was mentioned already, can you tell me what colors did you use on your darker Beja's? I plan to paint some dark skinned Congoans and I want to go darker than the Foundry's African flesh triad that I used on other African miniatures.

No problem at all, it's all explained on this post on my blog:
