My plan for 2023 is to get all my German infantry painted up. There are 150 or so of them knocking around and most are already based and primed ready to go! Most of my British are completed so its about time I have some opposition to actually get a game set up and even played. This group consist of nine infantry including a standing machine gunner, seven rifle men mostly walking and one officer with an MP40. I also snuck in a senior officer from CP models. For my paint job I used paints from a German Uniform Field Grey paint set I recently purchased, with the jackets and pants being interesting different shades. Reading around about German uniforms it seems that there were many different shades throughout the war, so any inaccuracies are totally accurate. Makes it easy to do whatever shades you like. I love the poses and stances of these AB figures, and the detail makes it so much easier to paint. It still takes me days just to paint a few…….and that’s not even doing camo…….









Looks great, my compliement!

Oooh, those are nice, Will! 🙂 Very nice painting! I really like the MG34 gunner with the ammo belt over his shoulder!

Those are great- AB figures always paint up well but given your range of shades it has brought the best out in them.
Cheers,
Pete.

They look great and yes the grey/green uniform of the germans is always a challenge IMO to get it right – if thats possible, as you say there is no right really. I like your version. Great stuff
