Here are my first Aventine Miniatures Hoplites of Magna Graecia (Greater Greece - i.e. Southern Italy in this case) for my Pyrrhic/Tarentine force. Just the usual paintjob - white primer, block paint, slop on the QS, matt varnish; shield transfers by Little Big Men Studio.

Even if it's a simple paint job they do look rather grand

Lovely unit Phil, you are the master of the QS style of painting.

However you reached the end, you did a great paint job on the way.

Terrific application of the QuckShade method as usual, Phil!

Cheers,

Blinkin' marvelous Phil

Do you think that your method would work on Classical Indian skintones?

Hi Darrell,

Almost certainly... In fact, the mahout on one of my Sassanid elephants looked very 'Indian', so I painted him that way - looks really good - better than, er, white men in fact.
