Very nice, I like the washed-out and gritty look.

Nice! This is how Death Korp need to be painted I think, and I like the contrast between the bodies and the packs/breathers.

Love your DKOK, not as dark as most of the schemes you usually see but still awesome all the same

Nice! I love DKoK, have a plan to paint some myself on the back burner...
I like the tan-yellow masks, and the grey drybrush at the bottom works well for muddy dust splatter.

Looks great!
Only thing I would suggest that you do differently is to paint the base-edges black to get a contrast to the basing/dust/mud on the base and models.
Perhaps I would also make a little less mudding of the models, but that's just me.
Do post more when you get them done!

Thanks for the feedback, folks
To be honest, the gas mask colour came out totally by chance: it was planned to be far more lighter but I messed up with bleached bone, tried to fix it and ended up to this XD

Is that a drybrush or sponging on the bottom of the models?

Thank you, people
On the bottom I used a "not-so-drybrush", which is a drybrush done using a bit wetter paint

Very nice colors. The palette is excellent and I love the weathering. Perhaps my favorite part is how the masks are this nice orange-brown tone that really contrasts with the rest of the model. It adds an extra something that really makes the models pop. I'd love to see more in this scheme/style. In fact, I think my one suggestion is to maybe paint the ring around the base a contrasting/flat color rather than having it be the same as the basing material. I think the basing gets a tad washed out with the ring being the same color. Black or a very dark brown would look better, I think.

You know what? I painted the base ring black... and I liked it. It actually looks better ("no s**t, sherlock", I can hear you say  )
Thanks, Spiky Norman, Darth Bob and all the others, for your comments!
Will post more kriegsmen asap

I have only one gripe with looking through showcases of Dkok models like this one...
They really make me contemplate changing my hobby budget for the month! Great work here, love all the colours, especially the choice of brown. Weird, I know, but it's a very realistic military brown...if that makes sense.

Grey Korps is Best Korps.
You've got solid contrast without being garish, weathering without being "caked in filth," which often spoils a good model, and the same kind of realistic pallet that the Korps are best suited for.
Better than mine at any rate, especially for the first squad!

Therefore, I conclude, Valve should announce Half Life 2: Episode 3.
