No, the colour scheme chosen isnt some carefully coded message. Its a common pattern, and with white commonly being perceived as difficult to paint, it seemed a good choice to tackle something this large with a relatively simple method thats easy to replicate at home.
The best thing about the early medieval period is that during the early 13th Century, rules around heraldry werent yet codified, and there was a lot of leeway in what anything would mean or relate to. Simple geometric shapes and patterns are easy to paint, and whether as a uniform for a questing band of knights or with each of them painted in a different manner, it doesnt take much to swap colours around and get a wonderfully diverse range of heroes on the table.

The Waffen SS were the military arm of the Nazi Party until their defeat in 1945. Convicted of multiple war crimes and crimes against humanity, it was declared a criminal organization during the Nuremburg trials. That said, they pose an interesting challenge for a wargamer or painter, and their iconic equipment looks striking on the tabletop. Whether youre painting a mid-war SS patrol, a late-war hodgepodge of mixed troops and equipment, or even the Polish Home Army in captured German equipment, what might first seem a daunting task to paint the famed eichentarn camo is easily broken down into simple stages.

The 14th Army was made of men from Great Britain, India, and Africa, sent to Burma to resist the onslaught of the Imperial Japanese Army. General Slims Forgotten Army was overlooked by press of the time and in many publications since as a sideshow to the real war taking place in the ETO, MTO and the Russian front - a real feat considering the 14th Army represented the largest combined army in the Commonwealth and one of the largest in operation in the world.

Ive always wanted to title a video in a similar way to a 19th Century recipe book, the ones that contain things like Another Treatment for Beef Gravy and such. It just tickles me the right way.
Orks can be incredibly busy miniatures with loads of little bits of detail that youd almost want to paint in a dozen different colours, but by sticking to a limited palette and concentrating on the colours thatll stand out the most to the eye - usually the skin and the Clan colours - youll save time by being able to skip most of those little bits and pieces!
