Title: Wolfstein WIP
Post by: blacksmith on 10 May 2011, 11:08:08 AM
Finally I finished painting some Germans. After this I think Leon should make a Dungeon themed pack for Weird WWII immediately  :D

Don't know nuffin about Wolfstein but looks very nice for Indiana Jones pulp.

Good stuff!

I used to love playing Wolfenstein!  A Theme Pack could potentially be quite easy to put together, with some Swastika decals in it as well...  :-\

Excellent stuff!

Love Wolfenstien - great idea!  and it piques my interest given my current 'wierd world war 2' infatuation...


*Note to mods*
On a side note Leon, i understand displaying swastikas is problematic under German law. 
Might want to consider Pendraken's position on having them on the forum?

And something more like German zombies, Germans with gas masks and rockets, werewolfes, Early War German soldiers without backpack equipment, etc.
Regarding Swastikas I think it would be better leave it alone as many people may feel offended...
Right now I'm finishing the British Commandoes and then I'll do the powered armour German soldiers and one German mech.

Very nicely done.

Just shows how versatile the dungeon pack is.

Post by: nikharwood on 10 May 2011, 09:19:56 PM
Very nicely done - my only comment is in relation to the basing: I'm assuming you're using these figures for out-of-the-castle gaming as well as you've done the bases in that way?

I wouldn't worry too much about the swastikas in some pics on a UK wargames forum in a non-political usage - pretty sure the long arm of the German law isn't that long...

Yes. I was thinking about it for a while and in the end I decided for not stone bases as I am going to use them for Weird WWII as well, with most scenarios outside. Besides, stone bases are more difficult for me to make than the normal ones  :D
Thanks!

Like I needed any motivation to look at another genre of gaming.... >:(

Will people please stop posting stuff like this, my attic beams can't take much more lead! :D

I have some pdf's from Incursion (Weird War II 'dungenonesque' Boardgame) with Germanic style posters, propoganda for anyone who might be interested. Ping me a message and I'll email them on. They aren't my own work - something I downloaded but cant remember the exact link to.

Pendraken's marines in battle armour from its sci-fi range.
Title: Re: Wolfstein WIP
Post by: Luddite on 17 May 2011, 08:40:43 PM
Excellent work.  Are you planning to do Allied versions of power armoured troops?  If so which figures are you looking to use?
Title: Re: Wolfstein WIP
Post by: capthugeca on 17 May 2011, 08:48:53 PM
Brilliant.
Looking forward to a battle report...with more pics of course.  :D

Top-notch  8) Definitely want to see these on-the-rampage  :d
Title: Re: Wolfstein WIP
Post by: blacksmith on 17 May 2011, 10:36:09 PM
For Allied Power armoured troops I'll probably use the colonists in space suits with weapons.
I'll do some battle reports with them but I think I'll wait for War without end which is to be released in June:

Thanks,
BTW, can you guess what I'm gonna use to make that mecha on the cover?  :D

I think you're going to use the A-Team methodology & go for some abandoned farm implements, a rusted out car, some Duck Tape, WD40 and a sharpened stick. Oh - and add in some random '80s hottie with big hair & small shorts.

Howzat? Do I win a prize?  ;D

Just re-read this thread and i'm itching to get into Wierd World War II.

The uber troops in power armour are spot on!  Very inspirational.

Must finish the 30YW Swedes and WotR Tudors first... ~X(
Title: Re: Wolfstein WIP
Post by: blacksmith on 22 May 2011, 09:02:58 PM
And here's the panzer mech finished (SF9) and my Uber Soldaten once again as I added some swastika decals on their shoulders and I think they look great now.
The machine gun I glued to the walker is from the base of a banner pole from a Gw's Epic infantry stand. Bigger pics in my blog.
Hope you like them.

And thanks for the picture of the walker. I wondered what he looked like.

They look great!

I'm very impressed. Specialy as I've started a www2 roleplayer useing old traveller rules. Now I have some great ideas.  Thanks. ;)
Title: Re: Wolfstein WIP
Post by: Leon on 23 May 2011, 04:34:45 PM
They look excellent, something I'd never have thought of using these figures for, but they work brilliantly.

Just for info, the walker used above is actually the SF10 code (Dreadnought walking gun platform), the SF9 is a bit smaller with a separate turret which fits on top.  I'll be getting the Sci-Fi done for photies this week which should help a bit!

Thanks for the compliments guys!
BTW, I thought I had bought the colonists in space suits with weapons but I realised I hadn't, so I'm afraid there won't be Allied Powered Armour soldiers until I make another order. In the meantime I'll work with the zombies and red skull...
