Painting 15mm Austrian Infantry

I've updated this guide to take into account a quicker painting style for 15mm figures, and greater use of Contrast paints....


1)  Personally I don't spray undercoat on 15mm.  Undercoat tunic & trousers in mid-grey, skin in standard flesh, helmet in black including comb, boots in black, rucksack in dark brown, bedroll in dark grey, ammo pouch in black

2)  Brown hair

3) A blob of pink (PA Old Rose for example) on each cheek and on the lips.  Contrast Aggaros Dunes, watered down slightly on the brush.  On detailed figures such as AB, a touch of Flesh on the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, chin and across the fingers and back of hand.

4)  Entire musket in red-brown.  Contrast Black Legion all over, watered down slightly on the brush.

5)  Metallic parts (barrel, trigger, three cross-bands, cross, bayonet) in silver

6)  Gun strap in white

7)  Tidy up black on helmet or shako, without worrying about underneath the visor. Chin-straps.

8)  Brass fittings on helmet in PA Gold (plate, helmet rim, two bosses; more elaborate for officers) with Contrast Snakebite (except officers), watered down on the brush.

9)  Yellow sides to comb (paint over until vibrant)

10)  Mid-green oak leaf

11)  Collar in facing colour 

12)  Black triangle in collar (with white bowtie if officer)

13) Pick out cross-straps and centre of tunic with Contrast Black Legion, watered-down on the brush.

14) Tunic and cross-straps in white, except canteen cross-strap in grey

15)  Trousers in white (for German units)

16)  Cuffs, base of tunic, epaulette edges and turnbacks in facing colour

17)  Touch-up black boots and ammo pouch, paint bayonet holder

18)  Gold buttons (2-3) down tunic centre, two on each cuff, down side of boot (3-4), and on bayonet-holder tip

19)  Khaki brown canteen with black webbing

20)  Dry-brush rucksack in orange, then wash with Contrast Aggaros Dunes watered-down on the brush

21)  Paint bedroll in mid-grey and highlight

22)  White straps (3+3 or 3+2) on backpack and bedroll

23)  Satin varnish

24)  Base
