"Some of my 6mm Epic IG ..." Topic

Was talking about Epic IG on Facebook … so I'd figured I post a pic here too …

Beautiful looking painting Legion, I really do prefer your subtle realistic colour schemes.

I'm trying to work out how to scale down my painting techniques for 6mm infantry, any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you ! Yes, I always use tac/camo colors. No circus colors in my armies !

For painting 6mm Infantry. I base paint a darker color than I want the end result to be. Like in this case. A Dark Green, with a black wash.

Then lightly dry brush a lighter color or so of the base color. Like in this case a lighter green. And that can easily be done by adding white to the original base color of the model(s).

Then detail like the faces, hands with a flesh tone, then maybe give a very light was of a light-med brown.

The weapons black then whatever metallic color you want. Then a thin wash of black. And maybe then highlight the weapon with the original or lighter color. Just like with the uniforms.

Boots – black then a lighter shade of black or gray.

Hope that helps !

Cheers Legion thats exactly what I need. Plain bases work perfectly by the way, definitely nicking that idea.

Very glad to help ! Yes, in SM1 Bases were not flocked. And we kept it that way. Besides being messy, and an extra step, but sometimes it detracts from the models.
