Painting Veteran Afrika Korps for Bolt Action [How I Paint Things]

Faded uniforms and battered gear - nothing says 'veteran unit' like a bunch of guys who look like they've seen long days and even longer campaigns.

Grab your own box of Afrika Korps from Warlord Games from the following international storefronts:

While it might seem like doubling up on effort to repeat older videos, it's been a few years now since originally tackling the Afrika Korps and while my methods might have remained fairly similar, there's a handful of new paints and other tricks which can provide even easier or more reliable results. Some of these classics are due a revisit! These 'remasters' won't be common, but might show up occasionally for useful topics or where new methods and materials have made them much easier.
