I have finished painting the first squad of open-helm 15mm Hammers Slammers. I really like these figures, the 15mm scale gives them enough detail without the time requirement that the extra coverage a 25mm figure requires. The smaller scale is also more forgiving and allows for a quicker job.
The level of detail on these is great and I was tempted to add different coloured ammo pouches and webbing, but this would have made them look a little easy to spot. I hit a problem with GW green ink, which did not agree with my paint on Vallejo matte varnish and resulted in some smearing.
I did paint the battle armour and helmets grey which allowed them to stand out a little more. I think one colour all over would hide a lot of the detail, at least that’s my rationale! I also added a tiny red detail to the retracted visors which stick out under the helmets.
I would go as far as saying that I like the “squat” look of these more in 15mm than the 25mm models. They are also much easier to fast paint and I finished the squad in just a couple of sittings.
