I started the weathering and shading on the late Imperial Roman legionary from Wargames Atlantic.

I started with a wash made from Abteilung 502 Modelling Oil Color Sepia (ABT002) and methylated spirits.

I then painted the base with AK Interactive Fresh Mud (AK016) and removed the excess with a cotton bud. Then I stippled on some AK Interactive Fresh Mud (AK016) over the bottom of the shield, legs and such.

And followed it up by stippling on some Abteilung 502 Modelling Oil Color Coagulated Blood (ABT505) through the mud on the shield and base. And a little bit on the spear as well.

I then applied some AK Interactive Moss Deposits (AK 676) on the rock. And then to finish off I applied a bit of the AK Interactive Wash for Wood (AK263) on the inside of the shield which is really hard to see on the picture.

And this is the finished result for today. Overall I am happy with how it looks so far, I am just going to wait until it dries to see where I’m at. There are a couple of things I wish I did in a different order, but I know that now for next time.

And his plume from his helmet fell off right at the start, so I am going to have to glue that back on as well.
