I've got 117 of those guys to paint...

Here are the first 5 ones:




I've tested a quite fast & easy schemes considering the size of the army.

They will go with my previous camo painted GI tanks.
I'm making a WWII german themed GI army, the Elite will be painted with pea dots like SS, and all the regular troopers will be painted grey.
Next tanks will be with 3 tone camo.

nope...i'd noticed that too...:-S

Are they all the old metal GW figures?

I always end up thinking that the steel legion and deathkorps figures might as well be one and the same really; again; am i missing something?

Yes, they're all GW metal.

Well, the krieg have different helmets, longer coat and a lot more details.
And better sculpt & proportion (no the "big head tiny arms" syndrom).
But yes I think they will fit well together, I've bought a krieg HQ, some krieg cavalry and krieg commissars. I think my vet will be krieg grenadiers.


They look great.  5 down and 117 to go?

Thanks.
112 now :D

It's referred to as the "Stab Him In the Face". Like a curtsy, only more practical.

Yes, a very difficult manouevre, many have lost their fingers trying this move  :laugh:

Very nicely done Napalm, don't envy you on the amount of them though.

Good progress - will there be tanks too? Or Sentinels?

Of course.
My previously painted tanks will be for this army (the leman russ hunter destroyer, the other leman russ & the chimera).
Next one will be painted german style (3 tones 1944 camo). I'm thinking about painting the Elites (Karskins & stormtroopers) in Oak Leaves & pea dots camo pattern to have 40k german themed army, with the core troopers grey like this.
Got 3 sentinels, 1 walkyrie, 3 hellhounds, 1 minotaur, 1 baneblade to go :p

Will test it in a few days on a sentinel squad.

For now, here is the Krieg Commissar finished:
