Flames of War British Infantry - Painting 15mm Figures [How I Paint Things]

Infantry sections form the core of a British Rifle Company in Flames of War, and even when you're playing an Armoured Company you'll benefit from having a few sections of tough, reliable men to hunker down and protect the ground your tanks have seized. Whether you're playing with multi-based infantry like this or painting them individually the technique is the same - you need to be able to see shapes at a distance!

My old Sergeant told us that bloody Bishops and Gamekeepers wore gaiters the British Army wore Anklets Web, great little video thank you.

Cracking video, as always. Love to see more in this scale

As 15mm WW1 Yanks will be arriving at my doorstep shortly, the tips for painting 15mm (which I've not done before) presented here are gold! It's a very nice complementary video to your "How I Paint Things - 15mm Troops" (which isn't surprising!). Thanks!

It was Alex that got me into the 15mm scale and love seeing the painting videos both of you do.

[Andrew-setg]

Great tutorial man! I would love to see more flames of war coverd!👍🍻

[johnkelley]

I have to say that these are very realistic looking 15mm figures even if it is the longer method! Thanks for sharing this.

Great painting guide! They look fantastic. I hope to see more 15mm stuff in the future. Thank you and Best regards.

Very nice tutorial with some good painting theory to boot! I have a box of these in my to paint queue, I will definitely follow this guide.

One of the first armies I actually finished was a 15mm British/Commonwealth force. I made the mistake of using a colour for the webbing that was too close to the uniform colour. Might have worked at a larger scale, but for lads this small contrast is a much. Glad you didn't make the same mistake!

Love it, and it comes at just the right time. Just started on some Brits

[andyshaw]

Awesome, I have some 15mm British Paras to do 👍👍

[michaelrossel]

Getting excited.... Me! Worsz was with my last heavy weapon Teams for IG.

Excellent video, this method seems fantastic for beginners. I tend to find I'm spending hours painting just the one miniature ... doh!

Warlord games should hire you to be their Duncan.

Also if these minis aren't in a scale I like (I'm more a 28/30 mm scale guy), they are well painted & detailed.
P.s. 15mm what scale is? They seems in scale with the old 1/87 ROCO tanks.
