Learn How To Paint Infantry: Models for Flames of War, Team Yankee and other 15mm miniature games

Up close they looked a little rough, but when you pan out and see them as a team element, they really do look great. The camo pattern really sets them off as Falschirmjagers. great stuff.

This works well for 20th Century infantry (though I usually prime in the primary color of the infantry instead of black to save a step), For Napoleonics (I have a ton of them) I prime black and then give them a light white drybrush. This makes it a LOT easier to see the details for painting.
I usually use tacky glue to afix the minis to large craft sticks before priming. I glue 4 cavalry per stick (2-3 sticks make a regiment) and 8 infantry figures to a stick. This allows room to get to all the spots that need painting. I keep re-using the craft sticks until I can't get the leftover glue off anymore. Then they go into the material pile.

Looks beautiful. To help you out, use a sepia wash on the flesh and it will give you a good separation from uniform to flesh..

That's a good idea!

Nice little tutorial. I’ve actually painted a lot of 15mm; Zulus, Arabs, Brit’s, French foreign legion… never Second World War.
