Continuing with my Flames of War army update here is another platoon of grenadiere to replace some minis painted nearly ten years ago. Still with a very much late war flavor due to all the camo smocks and varied equipment, but without Panzerfausts or StG44's like all my other more newly painted grenadiers.
With these ready I now have enough MG armed infantry to fully replace the old models I painted when I got back into the hobby. After that it's just AT guns left and I have more or less everything updated from the infantry side!
Paintjob is fairly simple with a basecoat, fairly stark highlight and a brown wash to mute everything down. Fast enough to do large forces in a reasonable time and the colours pop enough when viewed on the gaming table. Some highlights are a bit stark and rough when viewed up close, but with smaller scales I find it hard to get a good balance there.
6 bases of 4 infantry, 2 HQ bases of 3 infantry and 3 Panzershrek bases of 2 infantry which adds up to 36 minis for 2 points a pop and bringing me 72 points closer to my goal!
Love these, great basing. Must improve mine now
Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

ReplyDeleteFine work Samuli. I recognize this set of figures...I lament their loss from the Battlefront catalogue.
