I also have another major challenge to consider: painting. Now I’ve seen some wizard painters who paint up platoons that look like they just came off the beaches of Normandy, but I have zero miniature painting experience, or even painting in general. So Iv’e decided to start simple, as any paint on a mini is better than none, and sort of figure out an assembly line process to paint 42 minis.

From what I’ve read, it looks like you put on some primer, then the base coat, wash, details, and finish with a sealant.  So first off, forgive me, but what’s a wash? And secondly, do you know of a good paint that I could preferably get off Amazon that’s close to a m1943 uniform? I’ve included a picture below of what I am kind of aiming for. Sorry for all the questions, I am an absolute newbie to the hobby…

Thanks!
