Would you kindly send me pics of painted Defiance Games Panzer Grenadiers cuz I can't seem to find any on the net.
I really like the artwork of them but the bare bone models leave much to be desired so I was hoping someone that painted it can gimme some ... inspiration i guess.

BEGIN.

I can get you pics of the two I've completed Monday evening. I can even throw in my casualty counters and the two I started putting together.

I can tell you though, they figures do tend to look better painted, but you probably shouldn't waste your time on them. The material quality is very poor and as I've stated many times in the Defiance Games thread in N&R, the damn things won't glue together. Not to mention misaligned parts, pieces that aren't fully formed (usually small things like gun handles), warped parts, chunks missing here and there, large grooves that seem to be cut into every figure's leg which I think it due to misaligned molds, and the material they're made from generally feeling slimy and in a few cases, oddly rubbery. Oh, and there's the missing details. The only truly good figure out of the entire bunch is the bonus unhelmetted machine gunner. Aside from some flash and a bent gun, he seems to retain all details and lack the misalignments that plague pretty much every other figure.

Okay, it's sooner than I planned, but I've got some pics for you. No casualty counters though. Maybe later tonight?

Here's the first figure I put together as a test run. He'll probably be the only one to sport camo.


Here's the second one I did. I'll give Defiance credit, despite the shoddy QC, they did include a lot of extra bits like heads. There's a ton of unhelmetted male and female head options in the set.


I did promise some pics of the figures I have unpainted. Here's the beginnings of the team commander.

That left arm of his is super rubbery and the grip on his rifle was so badly cast it might as well not even have existed. Also, his head's mold was majorly misaligned. I had to do a fair bit of cleanup on him shaving down the misaligned bits, which included his legs as well.

This guy is pretty boring, I know.

But, you can see how I had to use Green Stuff to attach the arms. Super glue pretty much will not bond with their plastic. Even the Green stuff didn't want to bond that well.

And as a bonus, have some size comparisons.
Defiance German vs. Space Marine

Versus Imperial Guard

Versus Mantic (one of my zombie kitbashes)

Funny the UAMC Marines I got from them were pretty decent figs aside from a lack of a command or anything heavy/special aside from a SAW & the weak details on the legs, the models are pretty decent.
