Following the Master Chef's excellent stats for HALO SPARTANS in FWC, I couldn't help but set myself a mini challenge of painting a 15mm SPARTAN in 300 seconds or less using the Master Chef's painting guide.
I pulled a GZG New Israeli figure from a pile waiting for a desert paint job. There was no flash or mould lines to remove, so a quick wash and he was ready.
Two coats of Citadel's Thakka Green Wash. quick wipe of Gold across the visor, Bolt Gun Metal for the rifle and Emporer Dandruff Grey or similar for the gauntlets, followed by a quick black inking of the rifle anf gloves. Quick, easy and bloody effective - this figure looks superb!
I'm off to work right now, so no time to blether....just enjoy the eye candy!

Great job and it turns out nice. I like the wash on metal. Looks good. And at less then 5 min per, you would finish an army in one night.

I just did 32 of these guys using Mark's idea. I now have a Red Team, Blue Team and Green Team of Spartans. Great idea that was fast and easy.
