Bushido Painting the Prefecture of Ryu - Step by step

Bushido Painting the Prefecture of Ryu - Step by step

This is my first attempt at a step by step paint guide. i have just started playing Bushido and i was eager to get the miniatures painted up as quick as possible. I'm one of those players who don't like to play with unpainted miniatures.

The miniature i will be painting is the Ashigaru Yari weilder,Jin

I chose this miniature to show to paint the main uniform which all of the force has. so the colours are transferable.

Now i have to mention that i paint using Citadel paints from Games workshop.

I based my force with temple bases, following this tutorial here

 To begin with i started with a spray basecoat of chaos black.
