Late War British Company

My first Late British company. After this, I am doing two more German and British, so four companies more in total, and then vehicles and houses.

Full company with 3 platoons and platoon commanders, mortars, MGs and PIAT.

A closer view. Models are fast painted with diluted paint and a wash. No lights.

My first two companies. Germans on the left, Brits on the right.

I am using pigments for the bases but the mat varnish is killing the colours and whitening the bases. Can you tell me of any way to fix that?
