One idea I have is looking at some osprey books for WWI germans.

You could have a go with grey with a touch of pale green added- not too much, but just enough to add a murky tinge to the grey... might work with a lighter brown too possibly?

Yes, Osprey would be a good source. ?I recommend grey for the AFVs or one of the interesting WWI camo schemes, and Prussian Blue-gray or Gray-green for the Infantry ...

I think you are on the right track. Since Krieg probably was an industrialized world there are many ruins out there so a kind of mix between a city camo and a mud might produce interesting results. And I too recommend Osprey although the books tend to be a bit on the expensive side for their size.

After doing a few tests the army is now well on it's way. I've settled for the Graveyard Earth and Khaki drybrush over black undercoat. It gives a very nice pale faded brown and is fairly easy to paint (though those thin new paints are reallly annoying for drybrushing!  )
I tested the colourscheme on a couple of tanks and some infantrystands and though they will be quite well camouflaged once painted I think they look great. Much more "real" than my other armies.
I tried the blue and green but it came out a bit weird... Might work though if I had the patience to experiment more.
The battleforce which will be entered into the painting competition will consist of the following units:
2 Siege Infantry companies (18 units + HQ and Commisars)
G?tterd?mmerung artillery company (12 units -scratch built)
+ 6 Br?enhilde Transporters (conversions)
Siegfried Light Tank squadron (6 units -basically Gorgons)
Blitzen 88mm AA gun battery (3 units -FW models)
Thudd Gun battery (6 units)
Stormsword Siege Tank squadron (3 units -conversions)
Warlord Titan (Semi-converted with plenty of "Siege" weaponry)
If I can find the time -and the inspiration- I'll also try to scratch build a squadron of Ragnarok Heavy Tanks.
I know this is not a tournament legal force but what the hell... I think it's more fun to add the units you like to make up an interesting looking army.
Until next update:
Cheers!

If I go for a seige army it will be in horizon blue. I already have a 6mm WW1 army so its a case of a few tweaks and a couple of counts as. I know that blue may make L4 cringe, but then again it did that to the French in 1914! I've done true camo for S Africa/Angola wars and lost the troops on the board and forgot to activate them
Cheers

French _did_ have bluish unfiroms in WWI as you mentioned so I don't think L4 has anything against them. And that was after they changed the uniforms to a more reasonable version when they dumped Grandmaison's (sp?) doctrine...

I have been making a Jopalli force.
The Siegemasters list was originally an Armageddon PDF list and that's when I started constructing two E-A armies: an ORk one and an IG one.
My Jopallis have a slightly Italian look with a bright green base coat with toothbrush specked white dots.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I found a pic of the Death Korps on the GW site. Not much but the infantry seems to wear a very dark brown, almost black coat. The veichles are blackish/greyish but that could just have been a Studio tank for some other army...
The greyish brown I'm doing is close enough for me
Cheers!
