I have finalized my process for painting my Winter War Soviet infantry. There are a lot of steps, but most of them go very quickly and don't require careful painting or much skill, so I was able to get my infantry painted relatively quickly using this process. The paints I used are mostly out of print Citadel paint colors, but hopefully by looking at the pictures below for each stage you can figure out an equivalent color to use, if you want to follow a similar process.
Here is the full list of steps. Further down I have close up pictures showing the results of applying each step. The order can be changed around on some of the steps, and they are actually in a slightly different order in the pictures. I primed some of the models white and some grey, and it didn't seem to make much difference, so either is fine.
- Codex Grey - basecoat greatcoats, equipment, M27 caps, bases
- Adeptus Battlegrey - basecoat black boots and rifle metal
- Fortress Grey - wet brush greatcoats, M27 caps, and equipment
- Fortress Grey - highlight boots, rifle metal
- Skull White - dry brush greatcoats, M27 caps
- Mechrite Red - paint collar diamond patches and cap patches
- Nuln Oil - wash coat, cap, rifle metal, black boots, and bases
- Calthan Brown - basecoat belt, ammo pouches, rifle wood, blanket roll, gloves, entrenching tool handle, brown ankle boots, khaki pants/puttees/helmets, and NCO fleece cap (this is the hardest step, and I actually broke it up into multiple steps when painting up 30 of these guys at a time)
- Desert Yellow - edge highlight rifle wood, wet brush gloves, blanket roll, brown ankle boots, khaki
- Bleached Bone - paint rifle straps, dry brush khaki and cap fur
- Devlan Mud - wash blanket roll, gloves, rifle wood, belts, ammo pouches, and brown ankle boots
- Sea green (don't know the actual name of this paint) - wet brush backpack, gas mask case and straps, bottle cover, and entrenching tool cover (don't forget the straps around the blanket roll)
- Athonian Camoshade - wash backpack, gas mask case and straps, bottle cover, entrenching tool cover, and khaki
- Tallarn Flesh - basecoat faces
- Elf Flesh - wet brush faces
- Dwarf Flesh - paint lower lips
- Chainmail - paint cup, rifle bolts, and belt buckles
- White - paint eyes
- Black - dot eyes
