First step was to paint the spears. I used Honey Brown for the fresh-cut look.

Next was Territorial Beige for the tanned-flesh look. Given the primitive look of these figures, I opted for a dirty/tanned tone. I thinned the paint a little, to help with coverage and provide variations in the final look. The method is not quite as thin as stain painting, but has a similar effect.

Flesh painted

Next was the Pewter Grey for the spear tips (as they had a stone look).
