WIP, 28mm Caesarian Romans, Part II...

Second part for our painting guide for these 28mm Caesarian Romans,
plastic miniatures by Wargames Factory.

This time I have painted only a legionnaire with pilum to develop 

the various steps of the painting process to adopt to the 

other legionnaires... 

Here' s the Part I link...

By the way...I apologize for my digital camera and her pics... ;-)

First of all a dark brown washing for red tunic, gold and skin tones...

Silver for armour and weapons.

And a black washing for metal armour.

Then a silver drybrush on the armour.

Base colour for leather...

Now let' s paint the shield, or scutum...

Paint, with a dark brown, the base of the wreath...

Then paint with a medium/light green...

Then highlight each single leaf with a yellow ink...

Then base colour for the wooden part of the pilum...

Second layer with a medium brown to simulate the "wood grain" effect...

Third layer with a light brown...

Final layer with a yellow ochre...

Highlighting skin tones...

Last details...scabbard, belt, sandals...

 

Happy Wargaming to All!

 Happy Wargaming to All!
