My Warlord Games British 8th Army/SAS army

This is my British 8th Army /SAS army. These were desert Fighters that fought in North Africa amongst other places. The models were mostly from Warlord Games.  The Jeep came from Rubicon models. I painted these a while back and don't remember the exact paints I used. I primed all of the models with Vallejo Desert tan primer. I then used all Vallejo acrylics and  Games Workshop  washes.  I will hear provide links to the guides that I used choosing the various colors. there aren't very many color photographs of uniforms from this period so if you just choose Olive drabs and khaki colors  you'll be fine. 

Here is a link to the Vallejo British 8th A

rmy paint set. This was a big part of how I painted the models.

I also used this guide from Artizan Designs

Here's a useful video
