Now you see I knew you could do them justice, they look brilliant. I agree with others love the camo, they just look right. Guns look cool.

Thanks Cam! so you like the Heckler-Rheinmetal HR-91Ausf-B rifles and the Mauser Model-66 Assault Cannon, the Captain is using a Walther & Schmeiser 70 Bolt pistol of .50cal He is also using the Model 99 variable timer grenade, Nicknamed a "Potato Masher" for the Frag red top is Krak(I will paint the red tops for the Krak model. The earlier guys in the day armor have the Heckler-Rheinmetal HR-91Ausf-A rifles.

I never was a fan of those figs, but you paint scheme helps them out lot. I never could get into he game, seemed they took all of the GW ideas and pushed them further to the extreme of what I disliked. I almost bought some of he Japanese guys from them, but heard they closed up shop a week earlier, so i Bought more GW instead.

Yeah, some of the old figs of the 1990's were goofy looking, depended on the sculptors, but the 2nd edition Bauhaus minis were awesome. Psycho ex-roommate tossed all 52 minis I had of them out.

they look appealing to the eyes. Good job.

But wait! There's more! I did some markings and decals

oh yeah... those manufactorers names sure made me smile^^

you certainly know your way around the german guns and gear producers
i would (if you have it) use a tiny drop of wash in the eyes... a blue one... i think the rim of the goggles could be then a bit smoother... otherwise that is a fine looking troop!
also... for the more old school warrior look you could have tossed some wooden stocks in the mix... some brown would be a nice spotcolor for these...?

I need to color the breather boxes and their lights, highlight the gloves, and hoses. The R&H-91's seem to bne extruded polymers no shoulder stocks, more a paratrooper style, the shotgun I will black the shoulder buffer though. I will see if some black wash will help the rims of the lenses

i would use a blue wash so that you don´t loose too much of the vibrat hue of the lenses...

I do have asurman blue wash, used it on the Ice Sanction troopers

These guys are turning out very nice , I almost miss the red on the Gatling though, kind of gave him a little character, heavy weapon guy who likes to use his gun to bash people too .

Well, maybe some reddish brown splotches may turn up, as blood does that when dry.

I still prefer the red, showing he recently went berserk and smashed the opponent besides, where would you draw the line between mud and dried blood?

So, vote for the fresh kill bashing

I am an action poser (careful now) so I go with blood splatter. But I think they look cool as is.

Thanks! Still some blood smears may show how aggressive the support gunner can be too

I wish i had the right shades to do hot barrels, instead, I will have pics up of some red stuff on the assault cannon

well... fallout has kicked me out to see your new update mate!

Okay, I also used asurman blue wash with a fine brush around the eyelenses of the masks, now we will see how that went.

They look a mean bunch. Good job.

Love the assault gunner looks like he cut a hole in the center of someone while firing, then shoved the barrel through the hole to shoot up the next rank .

Yeah, I really need to include them in the assault on that planet in my story

Camo looks badass Shas! I think the weapons all need a dark wash though

Thank you Dave, and they did get a wash, may have to give a second wash to them

I smash with barrel! nice work shas.

Definitely! a quite violent soldier here. Meanwhile latest update

They look brilliant, as I knew they would.

i think the wash over the lenses worked quite well... and i think a darker wash over the guns and you are golden...!

@Cam, Yep, just needed that touch to be a force to be reckoned with, well at lest in my short story they will be, game and dice likely have other plans!

@Vik, that was a 2nd coat of the darkest wash I have left. That's as dulled down as the metal is getting.
