Fellow P.I.G. Dave K sent in this blog of his Denisovan “army” that he has been madly painting.

I picked up these 28mm Denisovan miniatures at little wars from Eureka Miniatures. The intent was to use them in “Strong Sword”, “Dead Man’s Hand Downunder”, and any other rules systems that I could get away with.

My objective was to achieve a quick paint job that looked good on the table top.

I used games workshop paints. picking a limited palette of earthy based colours and using red as a spot colour to make the browns and tan colours “pop”.

The skin was painted brown with a black wash over the top. I then just dry brushed the base brown over the top of this.

The rest of the model loincloth, head bands, weapons, shields and hair was a base colour with a wash over the top.

For the dingos I painted them orange, then painted a wash over the top and then picked out the ears, eyes, and mouth with a wash.

For the bases, I picked out a colour for the rocks and sand and just dry brushed it on. With a brown around the edge of the base.

All up these took me about 3 weeks to paint, just working on them a couple of nights a week for about 3 to 4 hours at a time.
