Thanks, chaps!
I've been playing around with some greyscale/contrast-paint experiments on the fantasy thread and decided to have a go at some Stargrave mercenaries that have been lying around assembled for a while.
For these, I just brushed on a lot of mid-grey paint, leaving a little bit of black in the recesses, and then highlighted generously in white mixed with matt medium. The next step was to slosh on some heavily thinned contrast paints. I added a few details and then gave them a very light drybrush in ivory to make them look a bit dustier. The reptilian chaps need a bit more work (eyes, teeth, tongues), but should be done soon.
They're nothing special, but this was a very quick and fun way to get them tabletop-viable.
