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...
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!
