The quickest I've come up with is to paint the figure an
all-over dark color, say a very dark green. Then get take three
lighter colors -- a green, a brown, and a tan -- and load a big brush
like you were going to dry brush. Instead of dry brushing, peck at the
miniature.
I did this on three of the larger Future Wars tanks, and it
looks great. From a distance it blends together to a muddy green, but
up close you can see the different colors. The dark undercoat brings
the details out beautifully.
