This is my experiment with painting 6mm. I started with a base coat of cheap Wal-Mart Flat Black spray paint. I then picked out the bits of flesh (face, arm & hand holding spear, legs) with Delta Ceramcoat's Fleshtone. I then painted the tunic DC Sandstone. The spear shaft is DC Spice Brown & the spear tip is DC Metallic Silver. DC Metallic silver is also used on the helmet, breastplate and shield. The helmet plume and shield body is DC Opaque Red. The base is DC Leaf Green.
I'm kicking around the idea of using 6mm for Warmaster Ancients and was curious if I could paint a figure that small. It helps to have a 10/0 brush and not worring about painting all the details. For my first attempt, I averaged 2 minutes per figure. I hope to improve on that, since a side goal of mine to be able to paint at this scale quickly.
Next up, 10mm Republican Roman Hastatii!
