Greek Hoplites WIP 5

I got these guy done today the shield was given a pre decal wash (varnish will do ). then the decal applied (NB if you use the immortal miniatures decals note that each one must be cut out around the design as the sheet is one big decal not loads of individual one). I then use a decal softner which melts the decal slightly making sure it fits well and softens the edges. Next I hit it with a gloss varnish this gets rid of any signs of the edge and give a good surface to paint on. I painted some damage on the shield, my first attempt at battle damage. I give myself 8/10 as the lines need to be thinner and I need more at odd angles, but as these will be part of a 32 man unit I am not to fussed ATM.

Greek Hoplites WIP 3

Getting on with these guys now, Tunic was based in Scab red then blazing orange mixed in for mid layer and bit of elf flesh mixed in for highlight. As the hoplites are going to be all colours I am taking the chance to try new mixes as I go along this red being one of them.

On to the metal next followed by shield

Greek Hoplite WIP 2

I moved on to the armour started with a base coat of the africacorp highlight, washed over that with the devlan mud the repainted high areas with the africacorp, final highlight was with the pale flesh. Happy with how it came out going for a bit more that TT without spending too much time on each one as loads to do.
