Going through the Painting War rack at Brigade Games, I came through a number of interesting titles. First I found the SYW issue and was happy with that. Next, I found the Spanish Civil War issue (number 5). I flipped through the book and was also very impressed.
This book also has a great cross reference of how to paint your troops. This one does not include reference on terrain, but substantially more on the troops and includes more on weapons.
As with other issues, you get a step by step color instruction in a general instruction and then for the different troops types that fought in the conflict. This is true for each troop and the weapons, flags and basing.
The issue is well broken down to show almost all the various troop types that fought on both sides of the conflict. The listings cover the regular republican and nationalist troops and various other groups that fought. Once again, this is a very complete offering. Interestingly, this issue gives painting instructions or both 20mm and 28mm figures. As my collection is all 20mm, I appreciate covering both scales (I probably would not have bought it, if the 20mm instructions were not included).
Another great issue of the magazine. Once again, if you want a one stop shop to help you paint your Spanish Civil War armies, I think you cannot go wrong to make this your go to source. Another book n my shelf!
