Title: 28mm Warlord WWII Late War Germans
Post by: bigjackmac on 04 June 2025, 11:58:57 PM
All,

You've seen all my Fallschirmjager and my early war Wehrmacht, so here is my late-war Wehrmacht, denoted by MG-42s, a plethora of shelter halves being worn as overgarments, a few Stg-44s/MP-44s, and panzerschrecks and panzerfausts.  As (almost) always, these were done by me using Contrast paints.  I did the base uniforms in a dark gray (Space Wolves) rather than the field gray (mix of Basilicum Gray and Creed Camo) I used on the early war Germans, only because I did these first and wasn't yet aware of being able to make a mix to get to field gray.  The camo uses Skeleton Horde as a base and then Militarum Green and Snakebite Leather over it.  I have a 7.5cm field gun that I painted in Dark Angels Green; it should be a dunkelgelb (dark yellow) color (or even camo) for late war, but I wanted to be able to use it for early war and so painted it dark green and will just roll with that throughout the war.

I suppose we can start with everyone's favorite, the original assault rifle.

Pretty cool little force, much easier to paint up then I expected, and not too bad looking ;)
