Step 2: Airfix Acrylic (01) Primer (see below, I need eight basic figures and a flag bearer with a leader type for each „battalion“):  

Step 3: Paint on Vallejo Beige/Brown Dipping Wash (see below, that helps define the painting areas as well as having a nice brown shadow that should work well with the basic „Red Coat“):   

The idea here is to approch things „Factory Style“
