The Dervish Are Finished
One 54-figure band of Dervish warriors all ready to go. Armies In Plastic Dervish figures. |
The final six figures are finished. |
I tried a new color scheme for some of the Dervish, using a khaki or cream triad of colors using P3 brand paints.
The painting recipe for the „White“ color scheme is:
IWM Grey 77-707 – base color
P3 Morrow White 93073 – highlight color
The painting recipe for the „Cream“ color scheme is:
P3 Jack Bone 93064 – shade color
P3 Menoth White Base 93065 – base color
P3 Menoth White Highlight 93066 – highlight color
The finished figures were given a gloss coat to provide protection from wear and tear.
In the first pair of figures, the fellow on the left illustrates the White scheme, although I altered it a bit by using the creamy Menoth White Highlight as the shade and Morrow White as the highlight color in a two tone recipe.
The second figure, on the right, uses the Cream triad of colors. I kind of like the way that this figure turned out because it gives the jibeh a sort of dirty and worn look that seems more natural than the stark white colors.
Two different color schemes: white (left) and cream (right) |

All of these figures had their plastic swords clipped off and replaced with a piece of metal wire. I was surprised by how easy it is to drill through the plastic. I cut the sword off at the hilt, leaving the cross piece on the figure, then I drilled through the cross piece and out the back of the fist. This gives the appearance of a sword with a hilt, otherwise, cutting off the cross piece would make the wire look like a spear instead of a sword.
Another example of the white versus cream color scheme |
Here are two Dervish painted entirely in the Cream color scheme.

Let me know which of the two color recipes that you prefer: White or Cream. Leave a comment or opinion in the Comments box at the bottom of this post. I would really appreciate your input on this as it will help me decide on future Dervish units that I might paint.
So please, please, please and pretty please leave a comment. Let’s see if we can break the 20-comment barrier. Go at it lads!
