Speed Painting an Army: part 1
When we received an email from our old pals Jonas and Bo at Army Painter we knew we were in for a lively time! At the heart of their email was a trademark Bo idea – paint a huge Roman army in next to no time! From anyone else it would have been laughed off but with these chaps we knew they’d deliver the goods.
With a large box of Warlord Games Romans sprues in their possession our two Danish heroes set about the task with gusto and more than a little beer. Over to you guys!
Bo: you guys are witnessing a historic (pun intended) speedpainting event. Not the usual speed painting event where the end result is a group of 12 year olds covered in acrylics – this is about producing a great looking army for the battlefield in a ridiculously short timescale.
When we offered to use our painting system on an army of Warlord Games Romans we were given just one week to finish it all. Quite a daunting task! At Army Painter we laugh in the face of challenges like this and thought we’d go one step further…
We’ll go all in and assembly and paint a legion in just one day!
