I have started paining some death korps of krieg models and I was wondering how well does horizon blue look on them as a model, and if I do paint them the new horizon bleu would it still be a lore color like my black and dark grey death korps? Some thing like this trench coat color. I was really inspired by doing this color, because I still have mon grand père. I still have his adrain de le grand guerre(World war 1). So I have been really inspired to make a regiment of horizon bleu. What color or mix of colors would best make it and would the color still follow death korps of krieg lore?


A picture of the colored jacket I am looking to paint.

The 143rd is a pale blue grey so I think you could pull it off as canon. Aside from that I couldn't tell you much on the how it looks side. Mine are done in a light tan to tie in with the Steel Legion & Armageddon PDF they fight alongside to look like their uniforms were selected specifically for Armageddon.

Thanks

My Death Korps - Jackets are Vallejo Model Color German Grey (195)> VMC Luftwaffe Uniform WWII (can't read the # on my bottle), Armour is VMC Luftwaffe Uniform> VMC French Mir Blue (059)> GW Astronomican Grey (IIRC - these are a few years old)

Thanks that is the color scheme I am going for but backwards.
