When I first looked at the legionnaire figures I can't say I was impressed, there are no facial features and overall they seemed more two dimensional than the Scourge warriors.
But!
After painting and basing them I take it all back, they look brilliant on the table and any extra detail is unnecessary.
I tried to keep the paint scheme for these as simple as possible (partly due to my general low-interest in these legionnaires... and partly because I can't wait to try a different paint scheme on the rest of the Scourge models!) so I stuck to bright, bold colours followed by an Agrax Earthshade wash.
Primer - Army Painter: Army green
Boots - GW: Abaddon black
Rifle/RPG - AP: Shining silver
Face - GW: Bestigor flesh
Sidearm - GW: Skrag brown
The bases received a lot more care and attention, as I've painted the legionnaires and warriors I've found that the basing has a much greater effect than the figures themselves.
So the bases were given coarse sand and a few 'large boulders' (read: tiny gravel), based in GW: Zamesi desert, washed with Agrax Earthshade and drybrushed with Terminatus stone, then a few patches of Army Painter's static tufts were applied.
