Finished off two Greek Mercenary Peltasts elements (4Ax) using the Xyston Miniatures "Thracian Peltasts #4" pack.
The first one I painted was using the three-layer painting method. Although I don't dislike the results, it takes too long compared to the next technique, it also produces stronger contrasts unless you buy paints that are designed for the three-layer system, such as Foundry Triads. Not having those paints, I use a paint-and-wash system, mostly using GW washes. The figures below use that system.
I think the helmets in particular turn out better in the paint-and-wash system. Note that my metal colors are typically done using non-metallic paints.
