Painting the Carthage Veterans

Progress is moving along nicely on my Carthaginians - I'm getting a little time to paint each night which really helps... you know, that slow but steady thing. I am painting these in batches of six models, which will comprise a full base of figures with each unit having three bases for a frontage of 180mm. I'm trying to get at least four full units of my Carthaginians done as soon as I can since they have some very respectable Romans to rout on the battlefield.

For my own record-keeping, and perhaps because others may find this beneficial, here is my process and colors used to paint this unit of veterans. I am listing a mix of old and new-name Games Workshop paint colors since that is what I have. It will be easy enough to make the conversion if you need to. As a designer, I would much rather be working in Pantone numbers.

02. Paint all skin using GW Tallarn Flesh
03. Paint the tunic using GW Loren Forest
