Has anyone experimented with these on 15mm figures? |

I saw someone had posted an article about doing some 15mm WWII infantry that turned out quite nice. Certainly worth a try I'd think. Happy hobbling! |

They work fine on any scale figure. In essence they are a deeply pigmented wash. I am doing all of my 6mm Soviets with a pot I bought as an experiment. Prime white, then wash the whole figure with the contrast paint (since their uniform is all one color, easy to do). Let dry, then paint details – flesh, helmet, boots, webbing and gun:
The main issue is they need a decent amount of surface area and lots of nooks and crannies. They don't work on flatter surfaces, so some pants, for example, may not come out well. |

They will work well on 15mm figs. I've used them on a variety of 15s. Contrary to popular belief they do work pretty well on flat surfaces. I use them on the armour of my AT titans and used them on a 28mm scale Shadowsword and was very pleased with the effects. |

I also was pleased with them in 6mm. Mind you, I was doing 8th Army in desert gear. I doubt they'd save as much time in Napoleonics. |

Nice painting Extra Crispy.
Yes, I have used quite a bit lately. I just painted Skythians from Forged in Battle, Polish from Old Glory and 7YW Irish in French service, all in 15, using a combination of paints including a fair bit contrasts. They have sped up my painting and look really good (if I do say so). |

What KevinV said, but with Museum Miniatures' Sumerians.
Everything except the bronze is Contrast paints. |

With a bit of work, they work very well on flat surfaces:
