Romans & Greeks

Here's a selection of Greeks & Early Republican Romans that I've painted in recent times - even a couple of Harryhausen type Greek skeletons.
Miniatures are from Wargames Foundry, Footsore Miniatures, Aventine Miniatures & Wargames Atlantic - all 28mm. Hope you enjoy them. If you have any questions about them please leave a comment :-)

    The shields are very nice, but I really love the way you've painted the bronze on those skeletons.

    1. Thanks Alan. I will find you the recipe.....
      "Ancient Bronze" Paint Recipe (if you don't have these brands of paint I'm sure similar looking alternatives will work too) : Scale 75 Negro Gold - P3 Armour Wash - blotches/stippling of Vallejo Model Colour Bronze Green - blotches/stippling of Scale 75 Red Leather - stipple Scale 75 Elf Gold over areas that might be rubbed or worn - apply Secret Weapon Green Wash for verdigris effect. Hope that works for you :-)
