28mm Northwest Frontier Afghans

In a break from my Wars of the Roses project I decided to try out some of the new Contrast paints from Games Workshop, and the latest similar product from Instar Paints. I may be doing a small review for Wargames Illustrated on the latter very soon.

The Afghans are Foundry miniatures and (I think) some Artizan. They had been knocking around in the unpainted pile for over a year, so it was an ideal opportunity to experiment with this apparently quick fire method of getting figures battle ready.

In all I managed to complete around eighteen figures in just one afternoon. That included a highlight of two on some. I must say I'm being slightly won over by the Instar product. The colour range is excellent and far outdoes GW on the colour choices.
